Kystlandet offers a beautiful and varied cycling landscape with good infrastructure and excellent conditions for cyclists. With the cycle network, you can plan your own trip or try one of our suggested day trips.

The Cycle Network is a new way to experience the Danish countryside on two wheels. As the name suggests, the Cycle Network is a recreational network of bike-friendly roads that connects all of Denmark. No matter where you're headed, the best route for you to cycle has been considered, based on criteria such as traffic safety and the scenic value of the experience.

The Cycle Network is connected by numbered junctions, located where the bike-friendly roads meet and where you need to make a directional choice. From these junctions, you can plan your own round trip, regardless of where you wish to start—whether from a campsite, hotel, private home, or parking lot.

The Cycle Network is a digital solution.
