Pedal at your own pace alongside the canal

One of the easiest ways to enjoy canal life is on two wheels. Ride along the old towpaths – a total of 87 km with no cars in sight. Watch the locks in action, pat the canal sheep or enjoy a picnic on the canal bank while the boats glide lazily by. We have many great cycling packages and accommodation alternatives.

Practical information for your cycling vacation

Regardless of whether you cycle on your own with your own bicycle, rent a bicycle from one of our bicycle rental companies or book a bicycle package, you are just as welcome to the Göta Canal.
