Solvangのおすすめツーリングルート

As you ascend the Figueroa Mountain Road Climb West, prepare for a visual feast that makes every pedal stroke worthwhile. You'll be treated to increasingly expansive views unfolding across the rolling Santa Ynez Valley, with its patchwork of vineyards and ranchlands. Look out for the distinct San Rafael Mountains rising dramatically around you as you climb higher into the Los Padres National Forest. Highlights include the breathtaking vistas from the upper sections, where the sheer scale of the wilderness becomes apparent, and on clear days, you might even glimpse distant ridges and the unique chaparral-covered landscape that defines this beautiful and rugged part of California.

We stop in Solvang and immediately feel like we are in Denmark, as the picturesque town is full of Danish culture, delicious cuisine and scenic scenery. Solvang, California (population 5,286) is nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley wine region on California's central coast. The town's name means "sunny fields" in Danish. Solvang was founded in 1911 when a group of Danish Americans bought 9,000 acres of the former Jonata Ranch. To preserve and promote Danish culture, the founders built Atterdag College in 1914 and Bethania Lutheran Church in 1928.
