As I was studying in Denmark, I fell in love with the country and its culture. One day, over a beer with my friend Adam, we were discussing the best way to truly get to know Denmark. I have to admit, I was sceptical about what Denmark had to offer, as I came from a country with rich forests and mountains, and Denmark is known for being flat.

We decided that the best way to truly experience the country would be to cycle it, and what better time to do it than in the summer? Denmark is known for being bike-friendly, and we had both been using bikes to get around since we arrived. We thought that cycling would allow us to take in the scenery at a leisurely pace and discover hidden gems that might be missed by other means of transportation. So, we set out to bike over 570 km in 10 days, exploring the country from south to north.

We decided to use public shelters as our accommodation, as there are many of them throughout the country. We asked our Danish friend for recommendations on the most interesting places to visit, and made a map of our route. We narrowed down our choices and planned a trajectory that would take us from Flensburg on the west coast of Denmark, all the way to the northernmost point, Skagen. We recorded the entire experience and made a YouTube video of our journey. If you’re interested, you can watch it and follow our adventure. Thanks for supporting our little project!

  1. I might give it a watch, but just saying; Flensburg is neither on the west coast or even in Denmark (not since 1864 at least).

  2. haven’t watched the video but if you ever plan to cycle a trip like this again then Langeland is a really beautiful place during spring and summer
