Maria's biking route to work

Having biking distance to work is especially nice this time of the year, hearing bird songs along your way. Usually Maria takes the bike path a little to the west, next to Nydalasjön. Here the bike path goes through the forest with a lot of lingonberry and (European) blueberry sprigs, a typical picture of northern Sweden. You really feel like home seeing this view, you find it in southern forests as well.
It takes almost fifteen minutes biking to work, so you get your daily exercise at least (around 3.5 km). All the way is on bike paths, so you just need to watch for cars when crossing the road on a few occasions. Maria can also select to cross among the houses, but she thinks it's nicer to be close to the nature. Most of the way is quite flat, except a hilly corner in the university area.

The ice still covers the lake, but it will be nice in the summertime to have walking distance from home to a lake to swim in.
