MTB tour through the Swedish wilderness

Guided MTB tour through the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve's wilderness. A pristine and wild natural area that has not been touched by civilization. The Scandinavian pine forest along the track is thick, dense and a popular retreat for many wild animals.

 

The MTB tour starts and finish at Nordic Discovery's Adventure Center in the small village Kloten. At the half-way point, we stop for a wilderness picnic lunch at one of the lakes in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve. To the picnic we listen to an experienced and knowledgeable wildlife tracker who let us know about the wild animals in the forest (At rare occasions the tour can be lead by trained outdoor tourism students at the end of their training period). After the picnic there is time for swimming in the lake. The distance to cycle is 47 km.
