The 390-kilometer iconic bike path by the coast was one of my dream routes. The 390-km Kattegattleden Trail is Sweden’s first official national cycling route. It opened in 2015, and has become a beloved destination for casual and accessible riding through some of Sweden’s most charming scenery. But what I planned as an easy t-shirt ride, turned into a fight against the elements on the rugged shores of the Kattegat strait.

all the scandinavian nations loving the Moomins! 😍🇸🇪
What a wonderful video! I really enjoyed every minute of it. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and I loved how you showed not only the cycling, but also the nature, the castles, the food, and all those little moments along the way. The filming and editing are excellent — everything moves at just the right pace and never feels dragged out. And the narration is such a pleasure to listen to — such a warm, sweet voice that fits the whole journey perfectly. Thank you for taking us along on this beautiful 400 km adventure!
Woah everything is so pretty!
Really enjoyed this. Felt like I was right there with you! 👍😀
I’ll never forget a moment of this trip. Battling the wind and waving at all the people with a tailwind going the other direction…sleeping in the windy tent with you ❤️ such an incredible time, sweetheart
The way things look in your video it looks like there’s a windmill on every corner there 😎😆
I really enjoyed it! Interesting content, superb cinematography and voiceover. It’s so beautiful!
Довго вас не було .От скажіть де ви берете енергію .Ви така тендітна жінка а енергія аж аж аж .Ну як що то є тайна то не кажіть 😊
Very interesting and very well done. Keep up the good work!!
Amazing and inspiring video. But…your bike is too big for you, really. Would be much more pleasent for you to cycle on a bike with a correct frame size.
Those are not crop circles, it's wheat pushed down by wind and rain.
