Printer Friendly version

Welcome to stage 60, and a journey through the south of Sweden. Although mostly flat terrain, there’s plenty of beautiful scenery to see, with thousands of islands dotting the Baltic Sea coastline and thousands of lakes inland, including the country’s largest lake, Vänern. Starting in Copenhagen, you’ll cross east to the Swedish city of Malmö before making your way along the Baltic Sea coast to Gotland, Sweden’s largest island. After a visit to the capital, Stockholm, you’ll visit another island, Åland, which is an autonomous region of Finland. Crossing the mainland west, you’ll head to the capital city of Norway, Oslo, before finishing the stage in the second largest airport in the Nordic countries
