Copenhagen to Österlen Bike Tour

Bring a valid passport or national ID card. Sweden can carry out identity checks at its border with Denmark, usually on the train or at Hyllie station, so check the current rules before you travel.

By train, twice. You buy both tickets in the Skånetrafiken app; they are not included in the tour price.

• Day 2: Øresund train from Copenhagen Central Station to Malmö Central Station. The bridge is closed to bicycles, so the ride starts in Malmö, where your bike is waiting.

• Day 7: direct regional train from Simrishamn to Malmö, after you return the bike.

Mostly flat. The coast from Malmö to Ystad is almost level, and the short, steep climbs come on days 5 and 6 in Österlen. The tour is graded 3 of 5 for fitness.

An e-bike evens out the short climbs.

Partly. Long sections follow the signed national cycle route 3, but the route leaves it for Glimmingehus and the Österlen loop.

Yes. Every stage is well within the range of a touring e-bike, the hilly Österlen loop included. Charging rules differ from hotel to hotel, so your guidebook gives the arrangement for each night.
