Linnaeus saw the area on horseback and stayed in rectories - but you can saddle up on two wheels, with a picnic in your panniers, then put up your feet with luxury manor house accommodation. Breeze along Linnaeus’ path with the aid of a handy map, stunning views all around, and get close to nature. The Albert Hotel in Trollhättan, offering top-class food on the veranda, is home for the first night while the Ronnums Herrgård manor house in Vargön is your comfortable base for the second. This three-day tour covers 70km and costs 995 SEK pp (about £72) for a double room with breakfast. Vänersborg can be reached with regular trains from Gothenburg and a full range of cycling accessories is available, including safety helmets, while the tour can also be enjoyed by moped, motorbike, car or bus.
