Biking

When in doubt, pedal it out

We highly recommend exploring The Coastal Land from the seat of your bike. The area has routes for all levels and ages, beautiful landscapes, hilly woodlands and rolling fields. Several routes are signposted and take you past local attractions. Get your bike and stomp the pedals with us.

Mountain bike trail in Bjerre Forest

You’ll find one of Denmark's best mountain bike trails in the hilly and wooded landscape of Bjerrelide between Horsens and Juelsminde. More than 15 kilometres of tracks of varying difficulty make the route the perfect choice for both beginners and those with experience.

Did you know?

…on average, Danes bike 1,6 km daily? That makes us one of the most bike-riding populations in Europe, only surpassed by the Dutch, which averagely rides 2,5 km daily.

APPROX 52 KM

Around Horsens Fjord Horsens Fjord is one of the most beautiful inlets in Denmark, surrounded by spectacular and diverse nature – and it is perfect to explore on bike. You can easily make the trip in one day, but we recommend you plan for more, in order to truly experience the landscape, the nature and the communities you pass underway. Read more on page 74.

APPROX 61 KM

The old Railway – history on flat terrain The nature trail along the old Bryrup railway takes you through the beautiful hilly countryside, over the Uncovered Bridge, past old boxcars, stations, a functioning part of the vintage-railway and last, to the grand lakes and deep forests in Søhøjlandet near Silkeborg. In 1968, the last train rode the railway. Since then, it has been a public nature trail. You rarely enter conventional roads, and mostly follow a flat and paved path.

APPROX 100 KM

Culture by Bike – sights on wheels Do you prefer longer tours through beautiful landscape, with the possibility to ride along the coast and go island-hopping? Then journey out on the trail Kulturringen – Culture by Bike. In total, the 540 km route takes you through Eastern Jutland’s beautiful nature and by the most notable cultural sights – however, the route is comprised of 22 individual stages, for you to choose and pick between. We recommend starting at Moesgaard in Aarhus and ending at Rosenvold beach at Vejle Fjord. The surface on this stretch is paved all the way.
