Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Smögen

    Smögenbryggan, the long wooden boardwalk along Smögen's harbour, is lined with little red, yellow and white boathouses, fishing sheds turned into shops, bars and cafes, and in July it is one of the busiest places on the Swedish west coast. Hundreds of boats crowd the harbour, music drifts from the bars, and people eat shrimp straight from the paper. Come in June or late August, though, and it is a different place: quieter, with fishing boats unloading their catch and the light glowing on the pink granite rocks.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Smögen sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Strömstad.

  2. 2. Strömstad

    Norwegians cross the border in large numbers to shop in Strömstad, because many things are cheaper here than at home, and on a Saturday the supermarkets and car parks are full of Norwegian number plates. The town is the northernmost on the Swedish west coast, just a few kilometres from the border at Svinesund, where two bridges cross the deep fjord between the two countries. With about seven thousand people, Strömstad is a lively little town, with a harbour, a spa past and plenty of summer visitors.
