The route begins in Alvesta and heads north into a rather remote area. It combines hard packed gravel and secondary roads over 223 km. Adri and me completed this route on a cold weekend (it even snowed for some minutes on Saturday) in April 2024. We took the Öresundstaåg train from Copenhagen to the start point.

With the exception of Alvesta, Växjö and Grimslöv, it is not easy to find food and water along the route, so plan accordingly.

Practical notes

The area is well suited to a gravel bike with generous tyres. The route passes through protected landscapes, so check access rules and local regulations before riding.
