Today starts along a section of the Åtradalsleden bike route, a smooth cycle route that follows a former railway track.

The time has finally come to leave the Kattegattleden as we turn inland and cycle away from the coast and towards Stockholm.
Starting at the fortress, the route heads through Varberg, taking in the central market square (where there is also a great bike shop).
