From the Lake Vänern to the Wilderness
Klarälvsbanan
Klarälvsbanan is a 90-kilometer asphalted and car-free bicycle path that runs along an old railway embankment stretching from Karlstad to Uddeholm. Here you travel from an open agricultural landscape in the south to the deep and friendly forest in the north. At the start/end of the Klarälvsbanan, in the north and south, connects the Klarälvsleden offering you further adventures in fantastic nature.
Klarälvsleden
The 130-kilometer-long Klarälvsleden goes from the archipelago to the wilderness and consists of a northern and southern part – both connecting to the Klarälvsbanan. The northern part, Uddeholm–Sysslebäck, is 120 kilometers long and runs on existing asphalt and gravel roads. The southern part, Hammarö–Karlstad, is 10 kilometers long and goes on bike paths and small roads through communities.
