Sveaskog - responsible for the Omberg Ecopark - has created two MTB trails, one on the north side of the mountain with start and finish at Drottning Ommas Castle (5,4 km) and one on the south side with start and finish in Stocklycke (12 km or 9 km respectivly).
The paths run counterclockwise over short asphalt stretches, forest paths, cleared paths and individual hiking trails. Please note that the trails are shared with pedestrians - show consideration and give the hikers priority!

Start at the Pilgrim Centre in Vadstena. The journey goes over the plain and the Omberg, past Tåkern and Vättern. Twelve medieval churches are along the way (Vadstena Abbey Church, Orlunda Church, Vårfrukyrkan (Skänninge), Bjälbo Church, Appuna Church, Kumla Church, Svanshals Church, Röks Church, Heda Church, Rogslösa Church, Örberga Church, Nässja Church.
Combine motion by bike with peace and accessibility. Take a break at the churches and relax. Take the chance to gather more impressions of the environment. Cyclists can even collect stamps from the twelve churches. Each stamp represents something from the church that you can find out. A pilgrimage does not necessarily have to be done on foot.
