Around the inlet Horsens Fjord (52 km.)

Horsens Fjord is one of the most beautiful inlets in Denmark, surrounded by spectacular and diverse nature – and it is perfect to explore on bike. You can easily make the trip in one day, but we recommend you plan for more, in order to truly experience the landscape, the nature and the communities you pass underway.

The old Railway – history on flat terrain (62 km.)

The nature trail along the old Bryrup railway takes you through the beautiful hilly countryside, over the Uncovered Bridge, past old boxcars, stations, a functioning part of the vintage-railway and last, to the grand lakes and deep forests in Søhøjlandet near Silkeborg. In 1968, the last train rode the railway. Since then, it has been a public nature trail. You rarely enter conventional roads, and mostly follow a flat and paved path.

Round trips around the Costal Land

Sometimes it is nice to take a round trip, where you end up right back where you started, instead of biking the same route both ways. That is why we have gathered the best round trips in the Coastal Land by bike - from the short stages under 10 kilometres to longer routes of 50-70 kilometres.
