Cycle Route Between the Lakes

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One of the most beautiful stretches of our cycling trip to the North Cape. Surrounded by water on both sides, we cycle "through" the lake for about 2 km. There's a swimming spot at the northern end.

Charming place in Bergsjö, perfect spot for rest and food stop. Picnic tables, bbq area, just next to lake. Trekking route starts here. ICA is not far so great place to eat after shopping.

A stop is a must. But whether you have to take the road there as a cyclist is questionable and should be considered, depending on the condition.

The hut is covered with a door and window. Wood was not available and can be found in the area. Once the stove is running, it will be super warm inside. We roasted in the pan on the stove. Two bicycle travelers stayed in the hut.
