Welcome to the V\u00e4ttern Round, but now on gravel and over three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong>: 11-13 August 2023.
Where<\/strong>: Start and finish in Motala
How<\/strong>: We cycle around Lake V\u00e4ttern on gravel
Sleep<\/strong>: We have booked a number of rooms at hotels in J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping and Karlsborg.
If you want to sleep the night of the 11th, you arrange it yourself.
Price<\/strong>: It is cost-effective. Accommodation will be paid directly to the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you expect?<\/strong>
We cycle to have fun, there are no intervals and it is not about cycling the fastest but having the best experience. If you want to splurge, of course it's fine, you wait further on. We may also split the group, if it turns out to be better. Our Guides have a lot of experience in arranging and holding these tours. The tour is essentially self-supported. Coffee, accommodation and eating places are included on the route, but they are of course optional.
Participants are responsible for their own navigation and any bicycle repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour is relatively tough, 15 miles per day with approx. 1,500 hm. It's not possible to bail, we're cycling around a lake. We have plenty of light, the sun rises at 5 a.m. and sets around 9 p.m.

Friday<\/strong>
Motala -> J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a breakfast, we roll out at 08.00. We will cycle through Vadstena and reach Borghamn after about 51 km. A quick coffee before we start the climb up Omberg. Anyone who wants to make the detour down to Stocklycke Hamn. Km 60-109 is a long slack road. In the middle of it, we eat lunch in \u00d6desh\u00f6g. When the climb is finished, a real descent to Gr\u00e4nna awaits. There sits a coffee quite well. The last climb of the day starts in Gr\u00e4nna and ends at km 135. From there it's a nice downhill to J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, where we sleep the first night at the classic VOX Hotell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/strong>
J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping -> Karlsborg
After a hearty breakfast, we cycle north. Already after km we pass a Willys if you perhaps need to supplement with something. We have coffee after about 6 miles in Brandstorp and lunch in the harbor in Hjo 3 miles later. M\u00f6lltorp is the next stop, it's 3 miles there, there is both a shop and a pizzeria, but most likely we will cycle on towards Karlsborg, a mile later. We take in the fortress and maybe a better coffee. We stay at Hotel Wettern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/strong>
Karlsborg -> Motala, return journey,
Departure from Karlsborg at 08.00 and we reach Askersund after 6 miles, a quick coffee certainly feels right. We soon reach the mining area with Garpa and Zinkgruvan, where there is also a coffee shop. The next stage takes us to Bona Handelstr\u00e4dg\u00e5rd after about seven miles. Here we eat lunch. The last four miles to Motala take us down to V\u00e4ttern's beach before we roll into Motala quite satisfied and tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
