This tour starts in Copenhagen and has you cycling in Sweden on the first morning. The Øresund train takes you over the bridge to Malmö, and five riding days follow the coast of Skåne east to the apple country of Österlen. Ystad, the Ales Stenar stone ship and the apple farms of Österlen fill the days between.
Skåne was Danish until the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, and those centuries still show in Ystad's half-timbered lanes, in the village churches and in Glimmingehus, built by a Danish knight from 1499. Later stories joined them. Henning Mankell set his Wallander novels in Ystad, and the Øresund Bridge gave the crime drama The Bridge its title.
The riding is mostly flat, on separate cycle paths and quiet farm roads, much of it on the Sydkustleden, national cycle route 3. The short, steep climbs wait at the end, in Österlen and around Stenshuvud National Park, and every stage sits well within e-bike battery range.
Your bike is ready at Malmö Central Station and stays in Simrishamn at the end, so there is no ride back. Luggage moves ahead of you every riding day, you sleep in hotels with breakfast, and a digital guidebook with GPS routes comes with the tour. Two nights in Simrishamn free a whole day for the Österlen loop.
If you rode The Best of Royal Zealand, this is the coast across the water. Choose a week and we'll have Skåne ready for you.
