You will mainly ride on the railway track, which has little incline and no car traffic. However, you will have to cross and ride along
trafficked roads in short streches. There are great spots for swimming in lakes and rivers.
We reccomend combining your ride with a hike on one of the amazing hiking tracks. There are suggestions marked with walking
symbols on the map. You will find cafés, shops and accommodation in Åmli and Treungen.
The ride fits cyclists of all ages.
