Like many visitors, when I first visited Denmark I didn’t venture outside of Copenhagen. That was a mistake.
Like many visitors, when I first visited Denmark I didn’t venture outside of Copenhagen. That was a mistake. It’s a mistake many make with London and the UK or Barcelona and Spain or Rome and Italy.
There’s just so much more Denmark has to offer, and cycling, the Baltic Sea route is one of them.
On this eye-opening trip, we discover coastlines, landscapes, forests and cosy villages. majestic chalk cliffs, stone-sculpted heads, stunning islands, archipelagoes and sixteenth-century castles. And we’ll do it all on two wheels.
Cycling in Denmark is easy, thanks to the superb network of cycling routes connecting the entire country. In this article, we give you all the information you need to explore Denmark by bike. Join us as we explore the Baltic Sea Route, mostly following the N8 cycle route across some of the most beautiful coastal regions in Denmark.
The Baltic Sea cycling route connects pretty much the whole of South Denmark and stretches over 820km in a huge figure of eight. Therefore, you’ll want enough time to explore it, I’d recommend at least 10 days or 2 weeks. Depending on whether, you might choose to travel by bike, or you can also drive some of the route.
As with any travel, you’ll get to know a destination better if you spend longer there, and you could easily increase that to 3 or 4 weeks to really take your time.
We started the journey in South Zealand and Moen, visiting sights like Gavnoe Castle, and saw the graffiti & street art in Naestved. Then we went on to visit the stunning Moens Klint. From there we headed to Lolland Falster with Marielyst Beach, after taking the ferry from Bogoe to Falster.
In Lolland, we visited the unique Dodekalith figures, a sight you should not miss. We headed further to Southern Jutland and Soenderborg, where you can find the Fjordvejen, using the Eurovelo 10 and stopping at Anne’s Kiosk to try her famous Hot Dogs.
At Aabenraa we photographed the historic street “Slotsgaden” and the Gejla Bridge. The final stop in Southern Jutland was at Haderslev Dam, where we took a boat at Danhostel.
In Kolding, don’t miss the Little Belt Bridge, the Kolding Castle and the Fredericia Ramparts before heading on to Fyn. On Fyn, we stayed in Svendborg and headed to Valdemars Castle, before exploring the coastal town of Lundeborg and Broholm Castle. Here you’ll find a crazy architectural landmark called the Great Belt Bridge in Nyborg.
The final district of our Denmark cycle tour is West Zealand with the Great Belt Bridge, the Halsskov Reef and small towns like Skaelskoer. A small nice detour is the island of Agersoe.
If you want to experience some of the real Denmark, enjoy nature, soak up the atmosphere at cute seaside towns, and absorb the fascinating history then this is the way it must be done.

Hi TravelDudesTV

Wonderful video work and great location's. I do love solo bicycle travel. You looked so happy on your Bicycle. ivy from UK
WOW. Denmark So beautiful
We are amazed by Your trip! Congratulations – beautiful film! Thank You for good summer emotions!
Are you sure you did it all alone on 2 wheels, you look so clean in your shirt's with not very much in your cycling bags, and who is moving the camara if you both are cycling in the distance🤔🤔
Where did you stay during this trip? Could you recommend a budget for 2 weeks with modest food & accommodation? We would cycle most of the route with the possibility of bus/train if needed. Thank you.
Have you visited Denmark? or done a cycling holiday?

Hello, my name is Roland Leppek and like you, I produce videos on cycling that I post on YouTube. Most are vlogs of our bike tours in the US and Europe, but now I’m putting together a video listing many of the longer bike trails in Europe. I love your video of the Baltic Sea Trail and would love to include some short clips/B-roll. May I have your permission to do so? I would be happy to list your contribution in the credits and a link to your video in the description.
You can take a look at my work here:
