Denmark is famously known for the cycle capital of the world, Copenhagen. And you should not miss a chance to cycle around town when visiting but Denmark is also a fairytale kingdom with more than 7,000 kilometers of coast line, sand dunes, forests and open landscape. There are plenty of cycle routes in the countryside - among them four EuroVelo routes. Moreover, there is a national cycle network in Denmark consisting of more 11,000 km of sign-posted routes. Just find your route name, number or logo and follow the signs!

The Ancient Road consists of a few hundred kilometres of hiking and cycling trails that reach from the north to the south of Jutland. Along the way the route leads you very closely past everything one could wish for in the Danish countryside: the sea, the coastline, the heath, the forests and the open landscape as well as some of the most interesting locations of Denmark’s history.
No other national route in Denmark contains contrasts as great as the West Coast Route. To the south: rich, flat marshland. To the north: steep and dramatic sand dunes. The West Coast Route is the story of man and sea. A 560-kilometre-long story about life on nature's terms.
