Tavelsjö and the City of Birches

There's a mystical allure to the nature in Västerbotten, with its tranquil quiet, boundless forests, and expansive vistas. Around Umeå, there are numerous pleasant cycling routes and paths waiting to be discovered. You'll take on 'The Classic' route, and a slightly longer ride to Tavelsjö, where the landscape is strikingly beautiful, hilly, and diverse.

The base for the package is the bike-friendly U&Me Hotel, in the middle of the city of birches in the cultural center Väven. With restaurants, bakery, art exhibitions and the proximity to nice tours along the Umeälven, this is a landmark in Umeå. You get a hearty picnic lunch from the Kulturbageriet and one of the days ends with a lovely dinner at Gotthard's pub.

If you don't have your own bike, you can opt to rent a high-quality hybrid bike. This versatile model functions excellently on both asphalt and gravel roads, making it the perfect bicycle to explore the surroundings of Umeå.

• The cycling takes place in a relatively safe traffic environment and that it is fine for adults to cycle along the route.
• Cycling, accommodation and activities suitable for families with children.
• Combine cycling with art, historical sites and local experiences.
