CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
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.
Compact island riding with coast, elevation and cultural stops. It also links naturally to Agricultural Landscape of Southern Oland. Highlight: a ferry crossing to Borgholm, about 6 km of water - check the timetable and book ahead in summer.
Check gravel share, wildlife risk and seasonal road works. Specific flag: wind; seasonal traffic.
May-Sep
Kalmar has been guarding the south-eastern coast of Sweden for eight hundred years, and the castle shows it. Kalmar Castle, a Renaissance palace with moat, towers and green copper roofs, sits on a small island at the edge of town, rebuilt in the sixteenth century by the Vasa kings from a medieval fortress. In 1397 a treaty was signed here that united Denmark, Norway and Sweden under one crown in the Kalmar Union, which lasted, on and off, for over a century, and the town still carries that history proudly.
