Vimmerby-Södra Vi-Solbacka

Take it carefully:

• A bit after Skräddarefall, on the way to Södra Kvill, there is a fairly steep downhill with a wrong left turn and sometimes some loose gravel - be careful here!
• The old embankment along Stångån is fine cycling, but in summer, a little bit after Solbacka there can be quite a lot of vegetation and some part can be a bit bumpy and wet, especially in spring.

Do not miss:

• At Skräddarefall you can turn left and cycle about 400 meters for a fantastic view of the area; then back to the road towards Södra Kvill.
• Once in Södra Kvill, it is definitely worth cycling the almost 800 meters to Kvilleken and the beautiful pastures in the nature reserve; sit down by the old oak (there are some tables and benches).
• Treat yourself to a stop or two along the Stångån; the finest is at Brånaholm with rushing water at the remains of the old paper mill; perfect place to breathe and just be; a little bit beyond Brånaholm there is a similar place - Mariedal - here you can even take a dip at the small sandy beach.
• The really old stone bridge at Björnebro; a real beauty.

Time: (approx) 15 km/h = 3 hours 20 minutes
Other: Service in Södra Vi. Swim Stångån at Mariedal's former paper mill (just before Mossnäs) or in Försjön.

Start and finish at Gästgivarhagen
