Cycling in Denmark

VisitDenmark  Explorers Choice

LogoVisitDenmark
Riding along established bike paths with the scent of the sea in your nose, carried by the laidback Danish attitude to life - this is cycling in Denmark at its best. Along the Danish sections of the North and Baltic Seas, through forests and moorland, you can explore a 12,000 km long network of well-developed cycle paths. There are also plenty of routes for mountain bikers, road cyclists, and e-bike riders, whether you're looking for long-distance or panoramic routes, or something more action-packed. The welcoming villages and lively towns that line these routes invite you to take a break or spend the night.

North Jutland's Baltic Sea coast

There is hardly a better way to discover North Jutland than cycling through the unique and extremely varied nature. Cycle along the coast, inland, over hills and through wooded landscapes and historic harbor towns such as Skagen. A highlight: Denmark's northernmost point, Grenen, where the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea. The small city of Aalborg, the silted-up church, the shifting sand dune Råbjerg Mile and the seaweed houses on Læsø are also some of the highlights worth mentioning.

All the best sights and experiences are easily accessible by bike with one highlight in particular being the Maribo Lakes Nature Park. It offers spectacular views and is rich in bird life. Another destination for young and old include the Fuglsang Art Museum, the prehistoric tombs in Halskov Vænge, or Northern Europe's largest safari park in Knuthenborg. The region is characterized by beautiful flat landscapes, unique nature parks, and peaceful woodlands. As for cycling, whether it's a leisurely family bike ride with a picnic basket or an ambitious long-distance route that you're looking for, you're sure to find it on the Baltic Sea islands of Lolland-Falster!

In terms of cycling infrastructure, the area is extremely bike-friendly with marked bike routes, convenient signage, and information boards. You can choose between shorter adventure routes with local sights and nature experiences, or longer rides that offer more of a challenge. An example is the 820 km long Danish Baltic Sea Cycle Route (N8) or the international long-distance cycle route between Copenhagen and Berlin (N9). Both long-distance routes include sections through the beautiful landscape of Lolland-Falster.
