Great nature, very quiet and the first half of the route was great, but the second section is really adventurous - not really for normal cyclists - mountain bike is required.

Great spot! 150sek per 24 hours but showers, drinking water, toilets, town very close with food. Great tenting spots close to the water. Very quiet when I was there, very peaceful. They take cash or Swish. Highly recommended!
