There is a one-way cycle path directly on the bridge, from which you can have a wonderful view down into the "fjord". If you want to go further south to Tjörn, you need strong nerves on the road! A busy country road (cars every 10-20 seconds, no lie), which is the main connection between the islands because of the bridge. Very narrow in places with guard rails on both sides, trucks drive past you at 70 km/h with only half a meter between them. I would never cycle along here again and would look for an alternative. Since I actually had to cycle along here again on the way back from my round, I looked for this alternative and found it.

West of the road, after the bridge, there is a bypass, mostly on tiny (gravel) roads and narrow forest paths that make you think they will end at any moment. However, I prefer this adventure to driving death-defyingly on the main road. And you see a lot more of the landscape this way.

The Skapesund Bridge connects the islands of Mjörn and Orust.
The Riksväg 160 runs over it.
