Mountain biking close to the city center
For those who ride mountain bikes, there is now an opportunity to cycle on Trosa municipality’s mountainbike trail in Vitalisskogen.
The mountainbike trail in Vitalisskogen is approximately 1.7 kilometers long. The difficulty level is blue with elements of green, meaning it is easy and at times very easy. The trail is suitable for both beginners and more experienced mountain bikers. For your own safety, you should have some cycling experience and wear a helmet.
Follow Blue Signs
The trail and direction are marked with blue signs. It is important that everyone follows the direction of the signs to avoid encounters and thereby increase safety. In a few places, the trail crosses the illuminated exercise track and the pedestrian and bicycle path; these crossings are marked with warning signs. Remember to show consideration and be careful as Vitalisskogen is used by many people for exercise, recreation, and as a thoroughfare.
The MTB trail has been designed and built by We Ride MTB. The surface of the trail alternates between gravel and natural terrain. In some places, the trail splits, allowing you to choose either the path marked A or the one marked B. The B path is somewhat more challenging and a bit longer.
Create a Harmonious Cycling Experience
“The trail moves naturally in the landscape and has been planned to create a harmonious cycling experience that goes in sync with nature’s own rhythm.
The trail is primarily intended for mountain bikes, but any bike with functioning brakes can be used. You are welcome to use an electric bike, but motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trail.
Welcome to the MTB trail in Vitalisskogen!
