It’s actually true. Here in Dalsland we’re enthusiastic about our fabulous gravel roads. But not just that, there’s a broad variation of different surfaces to cycle on here, everything from narrow forest tracks to larger gravel and country roads winding past lakes and fields.
The scenery in Dalsland is unique. It encompasses everything from flat grassland to deep and hilly forests separated by long, narrow lakes. Yes, there are actually over 2000 lakes and tarns here. You can cycle for hours if you want to and just see trees, lakes and meadows. Tranquil and enjoyable cycling.
In Dalsland there are a lot of hard working business people spending time, energy and resources to look after gravel cyclists. They arrange cycle friendly accommodation, flexible bike hire solutions, guided cycling events, nice places to stop for a cuppa or lunch, and come up with great suggestions for cycle routes.
Adventurous can mean many things. It can be watching the boats on the Dalsland Canal, cycling into the sunset, stopping for a skinny dip in a forest lake, seeing a moose, meeting other cycling enthusiasts or finishing off a day’s cycling with a sauna and delicious dinner. What does a cycle adventure look like for you?
