With only a few days left in Åre, I decided to take another ride on my bike. The weather was absolutely magical, not a cloud in the sky and the wind pretty much non-existent. So I jumped on the bike in Tegefjäll and set off east towards Häggsjön.

Just east of the more familiar Ottsjön in Jämtland lies the peaceful lake Håckren. What makes it quite special is that you can cycle all the way around it, following beautiful gravel roads along the way. After several days of rain and dreary weather, I finally decided it was time to take a test ride.

Earlier this year, David and I decided to cycle on Gotland. However, since we live in different places and the ferry schedules between Oskarshamn and Nynäshamn didn’t align well, we opted to cycle on Öland instead. I had seen very little of Öland myself, and with the change, we had the opportunity to explore the entire island rather than just half of Gotland. In the end, it turned out to be a fantastic decision!
