Experience Dalsland from the tracks – rail biking from Årjäng to Bengtsfors
Start your adventure in Kyrkerud in Årjäng and discover Dalsland from a completely unique perspective – right on the railway tracks. Along the old railway line toward Bengtsfors, 50 km of nature experiences await you – at your own pace.
You pedal through deep forests, along sparkling lakes, and past small woodland ponds. Stop for a swim, a picnic, or simply enjoy the silence.
Along the way, you’ll pass Blomskog Church – a unique church setting where the railway runs straight through the churchyard. Here, you cycle between gravestones with a beautifully maintained church on one side – a truly atmospheric and memorable part of the journey.
This activity is perfect for families, groups of friends, school classes, and companies alike.
