Pedal Sweden’s southern coast

June 2019 is set to see the completion of Sweden’s latest national cycle trail, the Sydkustleden. The route between Simrishamn and Helsingborg links up two existing trails to complete a 900km network that loops down from Växjö and back up to Gothenburg via the southern coast of the Skåne region. Explore lush forests, coastal fortresses, hip Malmö and even ‘Sweden’s Stonehenge’ (Ales Stenar). The area is known for its food, so be sure to fill up on egg cakes and spettekaka, a ribbonlike sugary treat baked on a spit. But the sweetest joy is simply pedalling the serene countryside.
