Tips for your bike ride

Properly inflated tires, water, and a helmet are a great start to a pleasant bike ride. Here are a few extra tips to make your outing even more enjoyable:

  • Pack a picnic lunch, because along all the trails there are beautifully situated rest areas and rest huts—perfect for a break or two.
  • Don't forget to bring your binoculars for birdwatching. The Oset Nature Reserve and Rynningeviken are protected, in part, for their rich bird life.
  • Do you enjoy strength training? Combine your bike ride with a stop at the Alnängarna outdoor gym.
Pack a picnic basket and head out for a walk.
