Gravel biking in Stockholm (ENG)

There’s a good chance you’ll be surprised by the routes in this book. Using tractor tracks, forgotten forest roads, and trails, the authors have created something many didn’t believe existed – amazing gravel rides just outside Stockholm!

The book describes 28 routes totaling 1,370 kilometers of cycling. All routes can be completed in a day from central Stockholm. Some loops are found in a nearby green area, while others require you to hop on a commuter train or take your bike by car.

The book’s routes focus on adventure and nature experiences and are perfect for a gravel bike with slightly wider tires. The rides may include short sections of easy trails between two gravel roads. You might also have to carry your bike at a few spots, but you’ll always come home with a big smile.

The three authors come from very different backgrounds. Michael O’Dwyer is a goldsmith, Björn Melin is a sheet metal worker, and Olle Wahlquist develops satellite engines. They are united by a strong spirit of exploration and a drive to share the joy of cycling with others.
