From salty coast to the deep forests of Halland
Halland and the Swedish west coast give the cyclist a landscape that includes both coastal open fields and deep shadowy forests closely the coast. We don´t have big mountains but the sequence of rolling hills makes the courses challenging and exciting.
The gravel roads of Halland are highly varied and you will experience quiet lakeside roads in the forests, open farm roads and low traffic fast gravel paved roads. During the day you will ride cozy winding gravel roads mixed with great scenery just 15km outside the city.
The race weekend combines competitive gravel racing on day 1 with a more nature adventure ride on day 2. Two different perspectives to discover a great gravel region.
