CYCLING IN ÅKULLA
Whether you are looking for winding country roads, hearing the crunch of gravel paths or making your way through lush nature, you are sure to find your favorite trail in Åkulla beech forests. But remember that you are sharing your experience with drivers as well as hikers and animals, so with care and respect everyone has a nice stay in our beautiful forests.
PUMP TRACK
Åkulla pumptrack is an approximately 100-meter-long gravel track for bicycles, built of packed masses that are shaped into hills, curves and jumps.
The idea of the track is that you as a cyclist should be able to pump your way through the track using your body weight and technique and without having to pedal very much.
It is perfect technique training for all ages and skill levels, regardless of the size of your bike.
The pumptrack was built in 2020 as part of the outdoor project Outwest through collaboration between the associations Varbergs MTB, Friluftsfrämjandet Varberg-Viske and Åkulla Bokskogars Intresseförening with coordination by Varbergs Municipality. The project was financed with funds from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and Lokalt Ledd Utveckling Halland. The land on which the facility stands is leased by Varbergs Fastighets AB.
