Biking
In the area around Vimmerby there is a network of cycle paths/roads. Many of them suit the biking tourist well. If you chose the western part of the municipality, the landscape is hilly with many remains from the Ice Age. The eastern parts are flatter and border the magnificent archipelago in Västervik.
It isn't difficult to go cycling on your own without a guide. With a map it is easy to plan your own trip which suits your age, the weather, experience, time available etc. We at the Tourist Office are only too happy to give you advice as to which roads are suitable.
Here are some suggestions of well-tried routes: "Cycle in the footsteps of Astrid Lindgren" is a route, which goes through Hultsfred and Vimmerby municipalities.
