This is a local classic by bike: start with a short cultural pause at Vibyggerå gamla kyrka in Sätra (Docksta area), then ride out into open meadows and quiet countryside roads until the landscape closes in and becomes forest. The reward is simple and perfect: Sätratjärn, a small pond in the woods that feels like a calm “end point” for an easy half‑day.

Quick guide (at a glance)
Best for: culture + countryside + calm movement
Grab&Go setup: bike + daypack (water, warm layer, snack)
Pace: slow and flexible (perfect for mixed‑energy guests)
Reward: meadows → forest → Sätratjärn pond
Step 1 — Grab&Go bike pickup (Docksta marina)
Message us with your time window and we’ll have the bike ready. Pack water + a warm layer in your daypack.
Then ride out toward Sätra for your first calm stop at Vibyggerå gamla kyrka.
Step 2 — Vibyggerå gamla kyrka (Sätra): short, beautiful stop
A calm cultural pause before the ride. The old church sits in pastures and meadows at the edge of the surrounding forests—quiet, open, and very “countryside Sweden”.
Keep it simple and respectful: one photo, a breath, then move on.
Step 3 — The countryside ride (meadows + farms)
From the church area, follow the paved country road toward the farms. If you want a small extra “view moment”, do a short detour back toward Sätra for a fjord + fields view, then continue.
Step 4 — Into the woods → Sätratjärn (the small lake reward)
Stay on the same road as it enters the forest. After a little more than a kilometer, you reach the lovely pond Sätratjärn on the left. This is the place to stop: quiet water, forest feeling, and a natural turning point before you ride back.
Optional extension — Travel Road around Herrestaberget (more forest feeling)
If you want a bit more “inside the woods” mood, extend the ride along the Travel Road around Herrestaberget. It adds forest calm without turning the day into a hard mission.
