The history of Öland – a cycling experience through the millennia

Experience the historic Hanseatic city of Kalmar and southern Öland's World Heritage Site with great bikes, food and accommodation at the best hotels. A total of five nights.

Öland is one of the large islands in the Baltic Sea and is known for its special nature, rich bird life, lots of sun and full of historical imprints. From May 1 to September 25, we invite you to a unique cycling experience in the World Heritage Site of Southern Öland's agricultural landscape with some of Öland's most historically interesting places. You cycle through a more than 2000-year-old cultural and agricultural landscape and always have a view of either the sea or the large Alvaret, known for its unique flora. On the way, you visit burial grounds and ancient castles from Öland's Golden Age - the Iron Age and take part in an exclusive guided tour of Sandby Castle, which was subjected to a brutal massacre around 1.500 years ago.
