From Gothenburg, the Bohuslän coast runs north to the Norwegian border. This tour follows it all the way, then crosses into Norway for the Oslofjord and Oslo. Nine riding days cover 460 km (286 mi) in two countries.
Bohuslän is the granite edge of western Sweden: smooth pink rock polished by the ice, thousands of islands and fishing villages built right on the cliffs. You cross it on bridges and small island ferries, with seafood close by every evening, from the prawns of Smögen to the oysters of Grebbestad. Fjällbacka named its main square after Ingrid Bergman, and near Tanum a detour leads to Bronze Age rock carvings on the UNESCO list.
Across the border at Svinesund, Fredriksten Fortress still stands above Halden. King Charles XII of Sweden was shot there in 1718, and his death ended the Swedish invasion of Norway. The land then softens into the farms and fortress towns of Østfold, where Norway's coastal cycle route, part of the North Sea Cycle Route, leads to the capital.
With a fitness level of 4 out of 5, it suits regular cyclists. The granite brings short, steep climbs on most days, and the hardest stage is the day you change countries. In Bohuslän there is no signed route; quiet back roads link the harbors instead, and an e-bike makes the hills easy.
Every night is a hotel with breakfast, from city hotels to seaside inns, and trains run beside parts of the route if you want a shorter day.
