Mountainbike (MTB)
Combining movement and nature experiences is a growing trend. What is better than experiencing Uddevalla's nature at full speed from the bike saddle, on your own or in a group with a guide?
Speeding along a forest path with the trees next to you is unbeatable fun, anyone who has tried it knows that! Mountain biking is a fantastic combination of action and nature experience. In Uddevalla, there are attentive mountain bike trails that everyone is welcome to take part in. If you need help renting a mountain bike or repairs to your own bike, you can contact LO-Bikes and they will be happy to help.
Bjursjön
In the outdoor area around Lake Bjursjön, the Uddevalla Cykelklubb together with Uddevalla municipality have created some lovely cycle paths in the area. Now there are five trails and the trails run on paths, forest and dirt roads and are graded according to difficulty. The trails are marked with signs and run in loops (that is, the start and finish are at the same place). There is also a technical track in the area.

Trail 6: Lilla Bää – Green - 5.0 km

Nature: The trail is easy to ride and goes winding on meadow paths. The course starts with a climb but is then mostly flat. The trail suits both those who are new to MTB and those who want a pleasant and beautiful ride without surprising difficulties.
Trail 7: Stora Bää – Green - 5.5 km
Substrate: Mostly anxious
Character: The trail largely runs parallel to Lilla Bää but takes some of its own tracks and contains some challenges. The trail is still classified as a simple, green trail.
Lilla and Stora Bää are located northwest of Bjursjön and, like all trails, start at the parking lot below Bjursjöstugan.
Technical course
Substrate: Gravel/Sand/Stone
Character: Unique technical course that utilizes both the natural slopes and built-up obstacles. Substantial level differences on a small surface.
Description: The technical track is a place for children and adults who want to have fun and develop on the bike. In addition, the place encourages spontaneous play and you are also allowed to create your own obstacles/jumps. Materials and some tools can be borrowed on site.
The technology track is located just northwest of the northern end of Lake Bjursjön.
