From Helsingborg to Gothenburg

“Hey och välkommen” in Sweden! You’ll be greeted again and again during your eight-day cycle tour on the Kattegat route to Gothenburg. In addition to the classic Köttbullar with mashed potatoes, there is fish and delicious seafood on every corner. A heaven for gourmet cyclists! Varied landscapes, exciting nature reserves, lush farmland and flat rocks that jut out of the Kattegat will shape your holiday memories.

Imagine: the gentle sound of the sea around you, the cry of seagulls above you and a deep green landscape in front of you. On the eight-day cycle tour along the west coast of Sweden you will experience this typical natural backdrop all topped off with Nordic charm. You’ll cycle past the windmills in Särdal, through exciting nature reserves but always clinging to the coast. As you approach the beach promenade in Varberg, the fortress of the same name rises in front of you. Here you can see the Bocksten Man, the remains of a medieval man’s body found in a bog. Creepy!

Itinerary

Individual arrival in Helsingborg. Your hotel is located in the center of Helsingborg, close to sights such as the medieval watchtower ”Kärnan” and the Marienkirche. In the evening, your personal welcome briefing will take place.

Starting with a ride along the promenade in Helsingborg you will soon pass Sofiero Palace with its gardens. The park is a thriving oasis and was awarded as “Europes Most Beautiful Park” in 2010.

You continue along the coast through quaint little fishing villages and small boat marinas. The tour leads you to Höganäs where you can see and buy the world famous salt-glazed Höganäs ceramics. The journey crosses the Kulla Peninsula, passing vineyards and small farm shops before you reach Ängelholm where you stay overnight.

From Ängelholm you follow the coast to Vejbystrand. You cycle through open meadows and several small coastal communities. In Magnarps Port you can stop for a well-hidden, lovely fish restaurant with a stunning view of the sea.

You leave the coast to cycle across the peninsula towards the beautiful summer town of Båstad. Now the journey continues along one of Sweden’s longest sandy beaches and the resorts of Skummeslövsstrand and Mellbystrand. You will also pass the nature reserves Tönnrersa and Gullbranna and finally reach Halmstad.

Today Sweden’s most famous beach is awaiting you: Tylösand. Not only the beach but also the hotel of the same name is worth a visit. The trip continues north along the coast. The sea, open countryside, exciting nature reserves and lush farmland lies along the following stretch. You pass Ugglarp, a small coastal community with famous vegetable gardens and a nice seaside resort. The route leads you over beautiful Grimsholmen to Falkenberg, which is one of the oldest medieval towns in the region of Halland.

Look forward to picturesque fishing villages, artists and artisans along the route. In Träslövsläge you can feast on freshly cooked lobsters and stroll through the older parts of the city. As you approach Varberg the castle towers over you.

North of Varberg the landscape changes - the sandy beaches are fewer and smaller, while rocky coastline starts to dominate and the first islands begin to appear in the sea. Along fields and horse farms you will reach Kungsbacka finally, a cozy small town with impressing old city.

You missed the sea? Thanks heaven it will accompany you again today. You will pass Vallda and Särö, the former playground of the ancient royal family and Gothenburg high society. Afterwards you will soon reach the old railway, now converted into a bike path just near the sea. Cliffs, lush forests, bays and marinas line your path into Gothenburg. Follow the harbor to enter Sweden’s second largest city and enjoy your last overnight.
