There’s no better way to experience Småland than on a cycle. Enjoy the smells, see the landscape, raise the pulse. Find your own favourite spots, stop at the swimming bay, go a bit further or just a few kilometres. From Wallby you have the chance to see a little more.

Skirösjön Route
6,3 km, 62 height meters
A fantastic tour where large parts can be cycled nicely. However, one piece is a bit messy. The most beautiful part, through the forest over the bridge that connects Skirösjön and Salgen may involve a few hundred meters of walking with the bike, but don't let that deter you. PERFECT morning ride before breakfast! The sunrises are magical at Wallby.
Long route through the Garden of Småland
64,3 km, 824 height meters
Fantastic nature, high slopes, wonderful views. A nice round for the experienced cyclist, which mixes gravel, asphalt and magical nature. Don't forget extra energy! During the tour, you pass, among other things, the trading booth in Stenberga, where it is perfect to stop for a cup of coffee and an ice cream.
Around Övrasjön
14,8 km, 209 height meters
A lovely tour in Småland's garden. Little traffic with mixed gravel and asphalt through the hilly agricultural landscape. This tour works great for the family. At Övrasjön there is also a swimming area with a jetty. The bath is about 5 km from Wallby manor if you choose to drive the round clockwise, if you go the other way it is about a mile.
Golden Route
51 km, 605 height meters
The tour starts through the avenue and then takes you via lonely country roads to Nye, where a stop at the coffee shop is recommended. The tour then goes past the manor house in Karlsjö and through the villages of Nyaby and Repperda. After that, if you're feeling lucky, you can take the trip past Ädelfors where you can try your hand at washing gold, or just have a coffee. Then the last bit remains until you cycle again through the avenue back to Wallby Säteri.
Gravel around Skärvete
22 km, 251 height meters
A completely magical gravel run straight into the Småland forest. Appropriately hilly where the legs were put to the test. At lake Höljen, the road crosses a spectacular watercourse and a few hills later you pass Nils Dacke's hiding place, where you can take a short water break. After that, it's mostly downhill back to Skirö. A decent morning ride!
