Take the time to leave Route 55

Take the time to leave Route 55 behind and explore the winding gravel roads. Whether on foot, by bike, or in a car, each turn holds the promise of discovery. You never know what awaits around the next bend! Suddenly, the sunlight dances on the surface of a lake, inviting you for a refreshing dip, with not a stitch of clothing required. After conquering a challenging incline, you can park your bike outside a quaint café and indulge in a well-deserved break.

Simonstorpsbygden is a slice of the vast Kolmården region, nestled between Norrköping and Katrineholm.
