Experience fascinating, early Scandinavian history including rock carvings, runic stones, burial mounds and the oldest Christian churches. You will be cycling through a smiling, rural agricultural landscape along winding country lanes which, in some places, are those the Vikings themselves used!

Traces of the past are close during three days’ cycling in the countryside around Enköping, one of the oldest towns in Sweden. Among other things, you will see the mysterious and magical Bronze Age carvings on shiny stone slabs and follow the rune carvers Balle och Livsten’s chisel marks on impressive monuments from the Viking Age. In Härkeberga’s impressively painted stone church you will feel close to the lives of people who lived in the Middle Ages in the richly detailed painted treasure.

The cycle tour is aimed at those who like to cycle along winding country lanes and are interested in history and archaeology. Beautiful views, cosy cafes and lovely farm shops make the outings a pleasure. And the cycling is easy – this is a landscape with few hills, and the trips take you along quiet lanes with very little traffic. Both overnight stays of your tour are at Jädra Gårdshotell which makes packing for your day trips light and easy. Jädra Gårdshotell is situated a short and convenient cycle ride from Enköping.
