Hi,

this is a kind of information for the Swedish community.

I am German and have cycled Cykelspåret längs ostkusten in 2009/2010. In these years was the singing of this route very good. This year I also cycled in Sweden. In the beginning I followed the Cykelspåret from Trelleborg up to Smirishamn. There were less than 5 signs for the Cykelspåret. This signs were very old. The other routes following the same routes had a lot of new signs.

I had the impression Cykelspåret längs ostkusten does not exist anymore.

Heya!

I can reach out to the one organizing this according to naturkartan.se to see why there are so few signs if you want. There is an email there you can contact as well if you want to

But seems like it exists, if anything the signs are just kinda gone

I got curious, so here’s what I found from a quick search… :slight_smile:

The bicycle route Cykelspåret längs ostkusten appears to have been established by Cykelfrämjandet. Though, the only reference I’ve found now on their site is under a different name:

They also seem to be involved in a small project improve the route too.

The route also appears to be a part of a European bicycle route network, called Eurovelo. The part between Ystad and Happaranda is Eurovelo 10.

I don’t know what kind of relationship Cykelfrämjandet and Region Skåne has, but on the sydostleden site Region Skåne claims to be the official custodian (sv: huvudman) for sydostleden.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got. :slight_smile:

I always assumed that the local chapters of Cykelfrämjandet took care of “their” part of the route and therefore the varied state of signs. I checked now and it seems that there aren’t local chapters for every county so maybe it isn’t so.
