Do you prefer longer tours through beautiful landscape, with the possibility to ride along the coast and go island-hopping? Then journey out on the path Kulturringen – Culture by Bike.

In total, its 540 km route takes you through Eastern Jutland’s beautiful nature and by the most notable cultural sights – however, the route is comprised of 20 individual stages, for you to choose and pick between.

We recommend starting at Moesgaard and ending at Rosenvold beach. The surface on this stretch is paved all the way.
