Denmark is ideal for a cycling trip, as it is a country perfectly adapted to bicycles. There are more than 12,000 km of signposted cycle routes throughout the country. In this small kingdom, everything is close by and always easy to reach.
We'll pass through green areas of flowery meadows, the Baltic Sea coastline and charming villages with routes linked by cycle paths.
The bicycle is the perfect choice for getting around. Let's discover a new world on two wheels.
THE "SUPERHIGHWAYS" FOR BICYCLES
Denmark's Capital Region and 23 municipalities are cooperating to create bicycle superhighways throughout the region. The so-called superhighways can be new lanes or improvements to existing cycle paths, with the aim of offering a mode of transportation that is equivalent to public transport and the car.
The cycle paths connect residential, educational and commercial areas, as well as public transport hubs and stations. The municipalities agreed on a conceptual strategy that defines the quality and criteria for an urban superhighway and a vision plan for a fully built network of 746 kilometers by 2045.
Each municipality is responsible for planning, building and financing the routes. However, they are often co-financed by the state. The network will make it easier to get from A to B by bicycle, especially on journeys between five and 30 kilometers.
