More Information About the Tours

All tours start and end at the film museum Filmbyn Småland in Mariannelund and include visits to Bullerbyn, Katthult, and the filming locations in Mariannelund. The tours range from 5 to 25 kilometers and take between 3 and 5 hours. Along with the guides, you will cycle on less trafficked asphalt and gravel roads through the enchanting Småland countryside with red cottages, fences, stone walls, working farms, agricultural landscapes, sparkling lakes, and large forests.

Ride classic bikes made in Småland, with seven gears, coaster brakes, and baskets. The experience includes a bicycle helmet, map, directions, and a handwoven Småland rag rug to sit or lie on during snack stops and breaks. Electric bikes and bikes with child seats, trailers, tag-along bikes, and junior bikes are available.

In basket cycling, it’s not about who finishes first, but who has experienced the most along the way. Experiencing Småland should be simple, fun, and sustainable!
