tour description

Colorful, creative, fascinating cosmopolitan

Look forward to Danish kings, Vikings, Hamlet and the enchanting Danish capital. The starting point of this varied star tour is the Danish city of Køge, which exudes so much flair. The tour takes you to historic Roskilde and through the former hunting grounds of the Danish kings, where idyllic landscapes and forests will enchant you. You cycle along the coast with beautiful beaches to Helsingør with Kronborg Castle and of course to the charming Danish capital of Copenhagen with its many sights. You will also be delighted by the city's unique cycle path network. Copenhagen has been one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world for years.

1. day Arrival in Koge

Individual arrival in Køge. The city is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Denmark. It was built by royal order with the largest market place in the region, where trade of all kinds and large jousting tournaments took place.In Kirkestraede you will find the oldest half-timbered house in Denmark, from 1527.

2. day Excursion to Copenhagen, approx. 45-55 km

Today you cycle north on beautiful paths, mostly along the bay, to Copenhagen. With a history that goes back to the year 1043, the metropolis will captivate you with its many historic landmarks and important buildings. Visit the more than 100-year-old amusement park Tivoli and the 1.25 m tall statue of the famous mermaid, the city's most recognizable symbol. Plan a walk through the Strøget shopping street, which is one of the longest pedestrian streets in Europe at over 1 km long, and stroll along the "Nyhavn", where ships from all over the world used to dock. Today the beautiful old houses there have all been renovated and fine restaurants dominate the old harbour. You can easily return to Køge by train (on your own).

3. day Excursion to Helsingør, approx. 49 km

Today's cycling day begins with a train ride to Copenhagen before cycling north through the former hunting grounds of the Danish kings at Dyrehaven in Klampenborg. Let yourself be enchanted by idyllic landscapes and deep forests before you reach the coast again. Enjoy rolling to Helsingbørg, always accompanied by beautiful beaches that invite you to take a dip in the cool water. Visit Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. More fortress than castle, Kronborg is famous the world over for being the setting of Shakespeare's drama Hamlet. But the old port city has much more to offer. Allow plenty of time before a leisurely (own-arranged) train ride back to Køge.

4. day Excursion to Roskilde, approx. 46 or 89 km

On completely car-free paths, you cycle today partly along the bay, partly inland to Roskilde, steeped in history, whose cathedral can be seen from afar. Roskilde was once a royal town and played an important role in Denmark's history. Visit the magnificent red brick cathedral with its slender spires, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. The sarcophagi and tombs, where 38 Danish kings and queens found their final resting place, make the church something special. After a worthwhile break, you then either return to Køge by train (on your own) or use the extensive network of cycle paths and cycle back to the hotel (89 km).

5. day Rest day in Koge

Today is at your free disposal. Use the time for a relaxing day at the beach or take a leisurely stroll through one of Denmark's most beautiful half-timbered towns. Enjoy your stay - the city exudes a lot of flair and is often used as a film set.

6. day The cliffs of Stevns Klint, approx. 44 km

Today a spectacular natural phenomenon lures, the cliffs of Stevns Klint. The massive rock formations belong to the UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the unique "fish tone", which provides the key to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The breathtaking chalk coast can be hiked along the entire length. On a clear day you can watch the ships sailing towards Øresund from here. You can take the train from Rødvig back to Köge (on your own).

7. day Koge Departure

After breakfast, your wonderful cycle tour through the Copenhagen area comes to an end. If you want to extend the trip, we will be happy to help you.

tour highlights

Køge

Køge is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Denmark. You can get an impression of the life of the people in Køge in the Middle Ages in the Køge Museum, which is housed in a listed building. The picturesque cityscape enchants with a large number of half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Køge

Copenhagen

Copenhagen has been named "Most Liveable City in the World" several times. Reasons for this include the exciting architecture that characterizes the Danish capital in many places, its many green spaces and the clean harbor, where you can even swim. The largest city in Scandinavia has retains a charming small-town atmosphere with its gabled houses, narrow streets and dainty turrets. Much of the city center is pedestrianized, there are strict anti-pollution policies and there are often more bicycles than cars on the streets. Green spaces - including the world-famous one Tivoli - is plentiful and in the summer pavement cafés and restaurants are very popular.

Copenhagen

The little mermaid

"Den Lille Havfrue", the small bronze figure on Copenhagen's promenade "Langelinie" is not only the symbol of Copenhagen. It has now become the Danish national symbol.

Little mermaid

Royal Copenhagen

Copenhagen abounds with royal palaces, monuments and regalia and is perfect for exploring on foot or by bike.

Royal Copenhagen

Helsingor

Roskilde

The city of Roskilde is only around 30 kilometers west of Copenhagen and, with almost 47,000 inhabitants, is the second largest city on the Baltic Sea island of Zealand. The town center is situated on a slope above the Roskildefjord. The city is known for the Roskilde Music Festival, which has been held since 1971 and attracts around 120,000 spectators every year.

Roskilde

The cliffs of Stevns Klint

The cliffs of Stevns Klint are located in the south-east of Zealand, are about 15 kilometers long and rise up to 41 meters above sea level. The breathtaking chalk coast is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the unique "Fischton" and can be hiked along its entire length. The Fischton location is located between the layers of rock and provided evidence that an asteroid impact 66 million years ago was responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs on Earth. At Højerup you can see the Fish Clay just below the large limestone overhangs when you stand on the beach. Access to the beach area under the cliff is next to Højerup's old church, where you can also experience how the sea constantly gnaws at the coast.
