The main routes of the Sverigeleden extend from Helsingborg in the south to Karesuando in the north and measure 2,620 km (1,630 mi). The remaining sections form alternate branch routes which measure an additional 3,980 km (2,470 mi). The routes are signposted with green signs by the Svenska Cykelsällskapet (Swedish Cycling Association) in co-operation with local roadworks authorities. The routes are mainly on lightly trafficked, paved roads in scenic areas.[1]
