Description by the author

Imagine a place where you can switch-off from everyday life while being fully re-energised, a place where land meets the sea. A place where the water’s calming flow follows you, harmonising and keeping rhythm with your wheels as they touch the ground. Imagine a place where you ride along an ebbing and flowing, everchanging coastline with a rich and wondrous diversity of nature, a place where you can ride from one delightful little harbour to the next, passing through typically Danish villages, while later relaxing in modern market towns with ambient and cosy atmospheres. These places exist. These are the places you find along the Baltic Sea Cycle Route.

You’ll meet friendly locals, and you’ll enjoy regional dishes. Stop along the way to explore the historic castles and manor houses on the route. Find a quiet place in nature, sit for a while pondering on life or challenge yourself to do something new.
