As you cycle, you'll traverse landscapes rich in history. Lake Vänern was formed approximately 10,000 years ago after the last Ice Age. As the ice receded, Sweden was engulfed by waters that connected the Kattegat and the Bothnian Sea. The process of land uplift eventually separated lakes such as Vänern and Vättern from the sea.

"A place among the most remarkable in the kingdom", wrote the flower king Carl von Linné about Kinnekulle. "This place is more lovely than any other".
