We get acquainted with the bikes on a trip from Norra Hamnen (Northern Harbour) to Campus Väst and further through what were once several large quarries, now part of  the Stångehuvud Nature reserve, where we walk out on the unspoiled cliffs.

We pass Gullmarsvallen (voted as Sweden's most beautiful sports ground), through a road of standing stones and eventually passing the former Sea Side Resort Area and the rest of Södra Hamnen (Southern Harbour).

The final stretch takes us through central Lysekil where we see examples of works of art and buildings in granite. From Stadsparken we head back towards Gamlestan and Norra Hamnen.

Highlights

  • Pristine Nature and Small town idyll - opposites just around a corner
