Tour
Arrive on your own. One of the most beautiful medieval market squares and Denmark's oldest town hall awaits you in Køge. In front of the city, beautiful white sandy beaches invite you to swim or dream.
You cycle through the green south of Zealand through forests, meadows and fields, in which truly stately manor houses are nestled. Look forward to Naestved on the west coast, one of the oldest towns in Denmark. The typical red brickwork of the pretty town tells you that Næstved reached its heyday during the Hanseatic League. Take a trip to the island of Gavnø, where you will find a rococo castle worth seeing. Marvel at the famous tulip farm in the castle park, the butterfly house and the magnificent picture gallery in the castle.
Today you cycle along the coast to the Great Belt, the strait between the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat. Look forward to a stopover in Karrebæksminde, a small, bustling vacation resort with a beautiful sandy beach. Marvel at the historic iron bascule bridge, which is well worth seeing, and be sure to try the freshly smoked fish in the harbor, a real delicacy. Stroll through Korsør in the afternoon. Visit the remains of the old town fortifications, the royal court and marvel at the 18-kilometre-long bridge over the Great Belt before continuing your journey inland to your overnight stay.
Today's cycle tour takes you along the coasts and fjords around Roskilde. First you will explore the Isefjord before continuing to the Roskilde Fjord. Look forward to Roskilde, where you should definitely visit the cathedral. This was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 and serves as the final resting place for 20 Danish kings and 17 queens. Among the most valuable treasures of the richly decorated interior are the gilded Antwerp reredos and the ornately carved choir stalls dating back to 1420. From the harbour, you can follow in the footsteps of the Vikings and explore the fjord on faithful replicas of Viking ships.
Today, the Danish capital awaits you at the end of your stage. Copenhagen has the advantage that you can reach all the sights within a short distance. Visit the Round Tower, Europe's oldest observatory, stroll through the harbor district with its gabled houses and the Little Mermaid, visit Rosenborg Palace and Amalienborg, where the Danish royal family resided, and have fun in Tivoli, Europe's most famous amusement park.
Today is all about Copenhagen and its many sights. Explore the Danish capital by bike - the number one means of transportation here - thanks to the excellent network of cycle paths. If you prefer walking, you can take a leisurely stroll to Nyhavn, pay a visit to the Little Mermaid and stroll along the Strøget shopping street. Alternatively, take a trip to the enchanting Tivoli amusement park, which delights young and old alike.
Today you cycle south on a beautiful cycle route along the beaches of Copenhagen and through the coastal hinterland. You continue along the “Berlin - Copenhagen” cycle route back to Køge, the starting point of your circular tour in Zealand. The rental bikes are returned to the hotel in the afternoon. Let your cycle tour come to a relaxed end.
Your cycling vacation in Denmark ends today after breakfast. We are also happy to book an extension for you in Køge.
