A one-day bicycle tour of the mansions around the lake

A bicycle tour of 53 kilometer in a beautifully varied cultural landscape with lakes, historic locations with old forests and beautiful mansions, and a medieval castle. Visit some of the old mansions described by Birgit Th Sparre in her series of novels Gårdarna runt sjön (The mansions around the lake).

You will start the tour in Ulricehamn with taxi transport to Fästered located by the southern part of the lake Åsunden where you will begin the bike ride. Here the path is a small gravel road that snakes through the landscape towards Hofsnäs and Torpa Stenhus that features in Birgit Th Sparre’s novel Gårdarna runt sjön and on the way you will also pass two other mansions, Åsundsholm and Sjöred, also featured in the series.
