Ride along the entire Göta canal from Vänern to the Baltic Sea.

The cycling holiday starts in Töreboda and the final destination is Söderköping and Mem at the canal's outlet in the Baltic Sea. You cycle along the car-free towpath along the entire Göta canal and pass 58 locks in this 200-year-old structure. Enjoyable cycling and pleasant boat trips (3.5 hours in total) are included in the package that stretches along Sweden's blue belt.

Cycle comfortably along the entire Göta Kanal and glide along with the boat M/S Kung Sverker between Motala to Borensberg. Experience a fantastic story telling for five days. Watch sluicing, enjoy nature, take a break when you feel like it. Stop at one of the canal-side cafes. Fantastic experiences and memories for a lifetime await here.

The package includes overnight accommodation, breakfast/lunch/dinner (except in a place where it is better to choose the restaurant yourself), rental bicycles and luggage transport between the accommodations. Of course, you can opt out, but for a bicycle package like this, it can be nice to have that service for the luggage. Transport around Lake Vättern by car and boat trips (3.5 hours in total) are included in the price. This way you get a really nice canal experience with both bike and boat. A cycle boat goes across the lake Asplången on the east göta side. The journey doesn't take that long, but there you have to buy a ticket on the spot (SEK 100 per person). Feel free to stop and have a coffee at the cozy Brådtom lock while you wait for the cycle boat. We recommend that you bring your own bicycle helmet for best comfort and safety. The cycle boat across the lake Asplången runs Saturdays & Sundays 7 May – 15 September 2023. Daily 27 June – 14 August 2023.

Cycling takes place in a stress-free and very safe traffic environment. Combine cycling with art, historical sites and local experiences. Escape everyday life and take care of each other in a romantic atmosphere.
