Orange north to Mjälahult
You can head from Simlångsdalen to Mjälahult. The trail is mostly on gravel roads, and can be ridden on almost any bike. The trail starts on the Banvalsleden, an old railway like that is paved from Halmstad to the end of Simlångsdalen, and then is gravel for another 200 km to Karlshamn. You ride on…

Simlångsdalen Badplats – Blue Clockwise
There are three separate Blue trails within the valley. This is the central blue route, around the lake Simlången. The trail is not overly hilly, though it has a few steep climbs. It is mostly on farm tracks, with only a few km of single track. My 73 year old dad rode this recently on…

Skedala Orange Loop Counter Clockwise
Orange is a technical route with some tough climbs, and some tougher descents. There are a few sections that I would consider to be downhill, and one that I still haven’t got the nerves to run. It’s a pretty dry trail, and it has some lovely sections that can be really beautiful given the right…
