The cycling holiday starts from Söderköping. The bikes are picked up at Korskullens Camping and the journey along the canal can begin. Experience the tranquility of cycling along the Göta Canal. The canal is lined with large deciduous trees and winds through forests and open landscapes. The tour takes you on the car-free old towpaths along the Göta Canal. New for this year is the bicycle boat that takes you across Lake Asplången. The tour costs SEK 100 round trip and runs from 10 am to 16 pm. A fantastic experience to get along the Göta Canal and across the lake. There is plenty of time to look around and enjoy the landscape along "Sweden's blue ribbon."
