The cycle path here takes you across the lake by boat. https://www.gotakanal.se/en/book/to-do/2626994/bicycle-boat-aspl%C3%A5ngen-g%C3%B6ta-canal/showdetails Bicycle boat operating times in 2024: Pre- and post-season: May 7th - June 12th and August 16th - September 28th Saturday and Sunday 12pm - 4pm High season: June 13th - August 15th Daily 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This year it costs 100 kroner for 1 adult, 50 kr for children up to 12. Outside of boating times, definitely take the route south of the lake (unfortunately it doesn't lead along a country road that is so nice), a section of the route to the north is now private and completely closed off, i.e. you can't get through (even if Komoot/OpenStreetMap still shows it differently) Alternative route outside of boating times: https://www.gotakanal.se/de/tour/alternative-route-rund-um-asplaangensee-braadtom-snoeveltorp_804288624

If you don't necessarily want to go to Linköping, you should definitely go around Roxen to the north. A very nice route!

Long piece of dreamy road with little traffic along the Roxen See. Asphalt is good, it rolls along smoothly. Every now and then you have beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding area.

This building is on the small island. I suspect that there are some boat events taking place here. I find it interesting how it was built.

Small ferry boats go from here to neighboring islands. So also after Herstena.

Just before you get to this port there is an unpaved road on the right: Tyrislöts Sommatlanthandel. There is a small café by the harbor and a kayak rental.
