What are self-guided cycling tours?

Set off on a self-guided cycling adventure, crafted for a personalized and flexible experience on two wheels. Discover wonders at your leisure, with the liberty to modify your route or itinerary as you wish. Our committed team meticulously takes care of all aspects, including accommodation arrangements, comprehensive planning, GPS navigation assistance, and ongoing support, to ensure a peaceful and captivating trip. This journey celebrates independence, personal discovery, and authentic cultural encounters.

How demanding are your tours?

Our tours are divided into three levels of difficulty: Leisurely , Moderate , and Challenging , defined by the typical daily itinerary, though there can be variations in challenge during the trip. Leisurely tours are perfect for those looking for a relaxed journey amidst beautiful landscapes, without the need for long-distance cycling or navigating difficult terrains. Typically, these tours cover 30-50 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 500m. This allows for numerous opportunities to enjoy the scenery, sample local cuisine, and visit quaint villages and towns along the route. Moderate bike tours cater to those who desire a combination of picturesque routes and a bit of a challenge. Covering 50-80 km per day with an elevation gain of up to 1000m, these tours take you through beautiful landscapes and charming villages, featuring both flat and hilly terrains. They provide plenty of chances for exploration and also offer a rewarding cycling experience. Challenging bike tours are designed for seasoned cyclists looking to challenge themselves. These tours cover 80-120 km daily with an elevation gain of up to 2000m and involve steep climbs and challenging routes. Suitable for those with a high level of fitness and stamina, they offer a sense of achievement and stunning views, making the effort worthwhile.

Why aren't accommodations specified?

We are dedicated to finding the ideal match for your cycling journey. We work closely with a range of accommodation providers, all of whom adhere to our quality criteria, though their availability might change, particularly during high-demand seasons. Moreover, we offer the flexibility to customize your trip according to your personal tastes and budget, guaranteeing that we find the accommodation that best suits your needs.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking your tour as soon as possible, particularly for sought-after tourist destinations where accommodation options are limited. Top choices tend to be reserved quickly, often getting fully booked for the summer season well before the arrival of spring.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

In Denmark, accommodating specific dietary requirements can vary based on their intricacy. While vegetarian options are generally easy to find, locating vegan meals might pose challenges in rural areas or smaller towns. Keep in mind that lunch breaks usually take place at traditional restaurants, which may have limited capacity to cater to special dietary needs beyond their regular menu. Please take this into account when organizing your cycling tour in Denmark.

What's the best season for cycling in Denmark?

In Denmark, the ideal cycling season runs from mid-April to mid-October. However, for elevated regions like the mountains, it’s advisable to schedule your cycling expeditions from mid-May to September.

What if the weather forecast is unfavourable?

In Denmark, cycling tours can be enjoyed in light rain, given you have the right clothing. During the summer months, afternoon thunderstorms are common, so it’s recommended to start your tours early in the day. If challenging weather conditions are expected, we will make every effort to adjust the tour schedule accordingly.

How does luggage transfer work?

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.

Do you transfer bikes too? How does it work?

Yes, bike transfers are often available when needed—such as before, after, or during your trip. Bikes are typically transported in secure vehicles or trailers designed for bicycles. You may need to notify the provider in advance, and some services require the bike to be clean or partially disassembled. Exact procedures vary depending on location and logistics.

Cycling reveals the quiet beauty of Copenhagen’s backstreets and small-town charm

Denmark’s TOP Wonders by Region

1. Royal Zealand & Copenhagen Region

This is where urban cycling meets royal history. Copenhagen and North Zealand are packed with castles, cathedrals, UNESCO landmarks, and coastal scenery. It’s a region full of variety — ideal for riders who want culture and nature on the same tour.

Catch these views during the Royal Zealand Bike Tour or the Berlin to Copenhagen Bike Tour!

Roskilde

Just west of Copenhagen, Roskilde Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the burial church of Danish kings and queens. Nearby, the Viking Ship Museum displays five original ships recovered from the fjord, giving you an up-close look at Denmark’s seafaring past. Together, they make Roskilde one of the most historically rich stops on any cycling route.

Copenhagen

Denmark’s capital is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, where more bikes than cars fill the streets. You can ride to highlights like Nyhavn waterfront district, the Little Mermaid statue, or cross the city on its famous bike highways and bike bridges such as the Cykelslangen (Cycle Snake). Copenhagen combines history, design, and modern Nordic lifestyle in one vibrant package.

Kronborg Castle

This Renaissance castle on the coast is world-famous as the setting of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kronborg Castle is a highlight of North Zealand and can be reached by a scenic coastal ride from Copenhagen. Its dramatic location at the entrance of the Oresund makes it one of Denmark’s most iconic landmarks.

Frederiksborg Castle

Inland from Helsingør lies Frederiksborg Castle, the largest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia. Surrounded by lakes and baroque gardens, it houses the Museum of National History with centuries of Danish art and portraits. Cycling to Frederiksborg means entering a fairy-tale setting where architecture, culture, and landscape come together.

Stevns Klint

South of Copenhagen lies Stevns Klint, a 15 kilometers-long chalk cliff and UNESCO World Heritage Site. It preserves the geological layer that marks the asteroid impact, which wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Cycling along its edge gives you panoramic sea views and a direct link to Earth’s history.

2. Funen & the Little Belt

Known as the “Garden of Denmark,” Funen is famous for its gentle landscapes, fruit orchards, and fairy-tale villages. Add the South Funen Archipelago with its island-hopping ferries, and you’ve got one of the most diverse cycling regions in the country.

You’ll discover these and other highlights on the Baltic Little Belt Bike Tour.

Ero Island

Accessible by ferry from Funen, Ero is a gem of the South Funen Archipelago. The island is full of pastel-colored harbors, cobblestone lanes, and old wooden ships. Cycling here feels like stepping back in time, with quiet coastal roads and small cafés offering a slower pace of life.

Odense (Hans Christian Andersen’s hometown)

Located on the island of Funen, Odense is the birthplace of fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen. The city celebrates his legacy with museums and charming old streets that inspired his stories. Odense also blends culture with cycling, offering plenty of bike paths through parks, along rivers, and into its historic core.

Faaborg

This coastal town is a gateway to the archipelago and one of Denmark’s prettiest small towns. Its old quarter has narrow streets and colorful houses, while the harbor buzzes with island ferries and fishing boats. From here, you can cycle into rolling countryside or out along the coast for sweeping sea views.

Middelfart & the Little Belt Bridge

On the western edge of Funen lies Middelfart, overlooking the strait of the Little Belt. The town is known for whale-watching, but cyclists come for the views across the bridges connecting Funen and Jutland. Riding here offers a mix of maritime scenery and modern engineering.

Koldinghus Castle

Just across the Little Belt in Jutland, Koldinghus is a medieval fortress turned museum. Its striking mix of ruins and modern architecture tells the story of Denmark’s royal past. The castle makes for an impressive cultural stop on a cycling route that already blends nature, coast, and island life.

3. Bornholm Island

Called “the pearl of the Baltic,” Bornholm offers a cycling experience unlike anywhere else in Denmark. The island blends sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, medieval ruins, and artisan towns — all connected by a 105 kilometers coastal cycling route.

You’ll see these and many other highlights on the Ultimate Bornholm Bike Tour.

Hammershus Castle Ruins

Perched dramatically on a rocky cliff, Hammershus is Northern Europe’s largest medieval castle ruin. Its remains overlook the Baltic Sea and offer a fascinating glimpse into Denmark’s medieval history. The climb to the ruins is rewarded with one of the island’s most striking views.

Bornholm’s Round Churches

The island is home to four unique round churches, dating back to the 12th century. These fort-like churches once served both religious and defensive purposes, and today stand as some of Denmark’s most distinctive landmarks. Cycling between them adds a historical twist to your ride.

Dueodde Beach

On Bornholm, Dueodde Beach stretches out with white sand so fine it was once used in hourglasses. The beach is backed by dunes and pine forests, with a lighthouse offering panoramic views over the Baltic Sea. It’s one of the most spectacular natural stops on a Denmark bike adventure and a must-see on the island’s coastal cycling loop.

Svaneke

Often called Denmark’s most beautiful town, Svaneke is known for its half-timbered houses, artisan shops, and small breweries. Cycling into this harbor town feels like entering a living postcard, with plenty of chances to pause for smoked herring, ice cream, or craft beer.

Gudhjem

This hillside harbor town is as picturesque as it gets, with steep cobblestone streets leading down to the sea. Gudhjem is famous for its smokehouses, serving traditional herring dishes like Sol over Gudhjem. It’s also a gateway to nearby islands like Christiansø, making it a perfect cultural and culinary stop.

4. South Zealand

South Zealand is a region of contrasts — from medieval market towns to Denmark’s most dramatic natural wonder, Mons Klint. With quiet backroads, chalk cliffs, and charming harbors, it’s a favorite for cyclists seeking both cultural and natural highlights.

You’ll discover these must-sees on the Berlin to Copenhagen Bike Tour.

Bogo Island

Small and peaceful, Bogo is often reached via ferry on the way to Mon. Its rural scenery, traditional farms, and small harbor create a perfect short cycling escape. It’s a quiet contrast to the larger surrounding islands, and a reminder of Denmark’s island-hopping charm.

Stege

The medieval town of Stege is the gateway to Mon and one of Denmark’s best-preserved market towns. Its 14th-century town gate (Molleporten) is the only surviving city gate on the island, and the cobbled streets are lined with merchant houses from the Renaissance period. Today, Stege offers cyclists cozy cafés, small shops, and the lively harborfront, where the annual herring market (Sildens Dag) celebrates the town’s fishing heritage.

Mons Klint

One of Denmark’s most spectacular natural sights, Mons Klint towers 120 meters above the Baltic Sea. These white chalk cliffs stretch for 6 kilometers and are part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Cycling here gives you panoramic views, while walking the cliffside trails adds an unforgettable detour.

Praesto

With its colorful houses and historic harbor, Praesto is one of South Zealand’s prettiest small towns. It’s also known for its food scene, with local restaurants focusing on seasonal produce and fresh seafood. A great stop for riders wanting a mix of culture and culinary treats.

Faxe Quarry

A unique geological site, Faxe Limestone Quarry offers a chance to cycle right into Earth’s history. The quarry is rich in fossils from 63 million years ago, when the area was a tropical seabed. It’s a striking, off-the-beaten-path stop that adds something very different to your route.

5. West Jutland & the North Sea Coast

The wild west of Denmark offers endless horizons, sweeping dunes, and the Wadden Sea National Park. It’s a region shaped by wind and water, where cycling brings you closer to both rugged nature and Viking history.

You’ll encounter some of these highlights as part of the Baltic Little Belt Bike Tour, which includes sections of Jutland.

Ribe (Denmark’s oldest town)

Founded in the 8th century, Ribe is Denmark’s oldest town and one of the best preserved. Its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and Viking history make it feel like a living museum. Cycling into Ribe is like stepping back in time, with the town’s cathedral and old harbor at its heart.

Blavandshuk Lighthouse

Marking Denmark’s westernmost point, the Blavandshuk Lighthouse has stood since 1900. Cyclists can stop here for panoramic views of the endless beaches and the wild North Sea. The ride out is exposed and windy, but that’s part of Jutland’s raw appeal.

Esbjerg & the “Men Meets the Sea” Monument

The port city of Esbjerg is Denmark’s gateway to the North Sea. Just outside town stands the striking "Men Meets the Sea" monument — four giant white statues gazing out across the waves. It’s a modern landmark that captures the region’s maritime spirit.

Wadden Sea National Park

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a vast tidal landscape stretching along Denmark’s, Germany's and The Netherlands' coasts. It’s one of the world’s most important areas for migratory birds, with millions passing through each year. Riding along its edge gives you wide open views where sky and sea meet.

North Sea Beaches & Dunes

From endless sandy stretches to high dunes shaped by the wind, the beaches of West Jutland are among the most dramatic in Denmark. They’re perfect for a rest stop, a picnic, or simply soaking in the vastness of the coast. For many riders, these wide-open landscapes are the ultimate highlight of cycling Denmark.
