Discover Europe’s most beautiful cycle path

Berg’s locks just north of Linköping is a perfect start for your next cycling adventure along the Göta Canal – one of Europe’s best cycling routes. The beautiful national trail offers nature, history, cafes, and ice cream breaks.

Göta Canal & Linköping – perfect for day trips & longer tours

From here, you can follow Göta Canal towards Borensberg – a 21-kilometer-long, child-friendly, and almost entirely car-free stretch with nature, culture, and charming stops. Lock stairs, monasteries, sheep pastures, ice cream kiosks, and several accommodation options are available along the route. A stone’s throw from the trail is Cloetta’s chocolate factory and Brunneby Musteri – both well worth a flavorful stop. This is truly a cycling experience that suits both young and old.

Cycle by yourself, with family or friends – and if you book bikes for several days, there’s even more to discover. From Bergs locks, you can also cycle into Linköping and take part in everything the city center has to offer. You then follow Göta Canal’s national bicycle route southward, and can choose to cycle all the way to Mem – where Göta Canal begins. Or turn off in Linköping city and perhaps explore southern Linköping municipality along Kinda Canal on your own.
