E-biking in Sweden – lonely forests, vast landscapes and insane trails

Arvika is our first trail stop in Sweden, after having been in the car for about two days. We are all the more excited and are sticking to the recommendation of two friends who ride their bikes a lot in Sweden.



This short tour starts at a lookout tower above Arvika, where you have a great view of the… read more

Because we like it so much in the area, we do a second bike day in the area of Arvika. This time a little further outside and accordingly fewer people are on the road than yesterday. In fact, we only meet one person - in the parking lot.



Let's go up the mountain, first on gravel roads, then on a small… read more

Yesterday afternoon after our tour in Arvika we drove towards Falun and charged our eBike batteries on the way. In between we had a few problems with the backup, but we got that under control after a while.



Falun was also recommended to us by friends who love the area for biking in summer and cross-country… read more

What do you need most for mountain biking? Right, mountains! And we haven't seen mountains that are too high yet. The tours have been really cool so far, but more of an ups and downs in cross-country style. But what we really love: Long downhill sections where you can really let it roll!



And unfortunately… read more

The plan for today was actually to drive from Lofsdalen to Åre and go to the bike park there tomorrow. On the way there, however, we pass through Funäsdalen and since petrol stations are rare in the area, we take the opportunity and fill up the car. Who knows when the next gas station will come!



We are… read more

Looking at the map we noticed that Åre is still a few kilometers away, so we looked for another bike stop, which we found in Östersund! We had very successfully avoided cities up to this point and here, too, we didn't go sightseeing to the city center, but to the small island of Frösön, where the local… read more

Finally arrived in Åre, the northernmost destination of our trip! Here it looks pretty mountainous and rugged and Sweden's largest bike park is also located here.



And we are lucky: Since it is Sunday (what luck that we happened to arrive here today!), Even the lifts are open and accordingly many mountain… read more

Now we are on our way back south from Åre, unfortunately two weeks vacation is not enough to drive further north. At some point, at some point we will hopefully take a few months off and explore Scandinavia all the way to the north!



We have also planned a few bike stops on the way home and the next one… read more

After we had again sought the advice of our two Sweden-experienced friends, it was clear that we wanted to go to Falun again! Apparently we missed the best of it all ...



So we plan our way so that we come through Falun again and check out the area around Dalarna. And that's a good thing - because otherwise… read more

We are now quite far south again and our road trip is coming to an end. But we still have a few stops on the list! Today it's near Norrköping, a very rural area (as always with us), where, according to the internet, there should be good trails. So let's go on a search!



The density of trails is very high… read more

Today is our last bike day in Sweden, slowly but surely we have to drive a little more specifically to the south and work our way towards Germany. But what would a long drive be without a stop for biking?



There is a small bike park called Vallasen on the Swedish-Danish border. At the weekend the Danes… read more
