An easy-going cycling tour through Denmark’s flat countryside and coast, with daily distances of 30–53 km and 150–400 m of climbing a day. Most of the riding is on separate cycle paths and quiet country roads. The first days are almost all asphalt. From Helsinge onwards the route also uses gravel, farm and forest tracks, up to a third of the day. The longest days, Rørvig to Holbæk and Holbæk to Roskilde, take a few hours in the saddle. A trekking or gravel bike suits the mixed surfaces. Anyone who rides a bike at home will manage.
Forest track: Holbæk to Roskilde
About a third of this day is on gravel and forest paths, in places with tree roots. After rain the tracks can get muddy.
City traffic: leaving Copenhagen
The first riding day starts on Copenhagen’s city cycle lanes. They are separate from car traffic but busy with local cyclists, especially in the morning rush hour.

The journey continues across the Odsherred peninsula and along the shores of the Isefjord to the old port town of Holbæk, then follows the fjord south to Roskilde. A visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Roskilde Cathedral and the Viking Ship Museum deepens your connection to Denmark’s royal and maritime past.
