I<\/em><\/strong>ntro: in the summer of 2023 I did a 1.614 km (1.000 miles) long biketour in Denmark and a bit of Sweden. I wanted to ride on a couple of old railroad-tracks, now converted into bike trails. <\/strong>
It took me 19 days in the sadle and it was a great adventure !<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thursday 20th of July 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I departed at 9:30 AM from \u201cSheltere B\u00e5rses\u00f8erne\u201d, located a bit northwest of Pr\u00e6st\u00f8. I cycled east to get back on my route, National Cycle Route No. 9, to be more specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roads consisted of small bypass roads, residential areas, and beautiful landscapes filled with fields. When the sun hit just right, it was a stunning sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reached Faxe Ladeplads and continued northeast until I arrived at a beautiful coastal town. I decided to take a 30-minute in R\u00f8dvig\u2014the first 41 km of the day. There were about 40 more kilometers to K\u00f8ge, where I planned to find a place to stay for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just after R\u00f8dvig, I reached Stevns Klint and the Cold War Museum Stevnsfort. If I had plenty of time, I would have loved to join the guided tour, but that would have to wait for another visit. However, I did take a look around at what was accessible and treated myself to a delicious Magnum ice cream with coconut and mango\u2014a surprisingly good combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little later, I arrived at Stevns Lighthouse. It\u2019s a truly beautiful spot where you can walk right up to the edge of the cliffs. There was also a powerful telescope set up, perfect for some serious spying if one was so inclined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, you could easily spend several hours exploring these cool places north of R\u00f8dvig. There are four to five different attractions along the way, and they\u2019ve cleverly set up a free shuttle bus that runs between them. Frederikshavn could definitely learn something from this when it comes to our Palm Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point, I was caught off guard by a 15-minute rain shower while refilling my water bottle at a cemetery. I took shelter under a large tree near the restroom, so I didn\u2019t get too wet. Shortly after, two other guys about my age arrived, also looking for cover from the rain. So, we all ended up standing inside the restroom together\u2014an amusing situation, but we had a good chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were both Americans who had flown to Copenhagen (presumably with their bikes) and were planning to cycle all the way to Florence. Their gear was very lightweight since they were staying in hotels along the way. This allowed them to cycle much farther than I could. Plus, one of them could ride in the other\u2019s slipstream, Tour de France style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were impressed by Denmark\u2019s cycling infrastructure, but they struggled with navigation and finding the national cycling routes, which in some cases are also part of the international EuroVelo routes. Luckily, I was able to help them: \u201cJust go to cycle.travel<\/a> and enjoy the amazing map.\u201d They were absolutely thrilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stopped in K\u00f8ge at \u201cK\u00f8ge og Vall\u00f8 Camping\u201d after 81 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dag 14 – Torsdag d. 20. Juli 2023.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jeg tog afgang kl 9.30 fra \u201cSheltere B\u00e5rses\u00f8erne\u201d der ligger lidt nordvest fra Pr\u00e6st\u00f8. Jeg cyklede \u00f8st p\u00e5 for at komme tilbage p\u00e5 min rute, National Cykelrute nr 9 for at v\u00e6re mere specifik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vejene best\u00e5r af sm\u00e5 omfartsveje, villakvartere og jeg kommer ogs\u00e5 ud og ser mange smukke omr\u00e5der med marker. N\u00e5r solen rammer er det bare et smukt syn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeg n\u00e5ede til Faxe Ladeplads og cyklede videre nord\u00f8st og ramte en smuk by ved kysten. Her ville jeg da lige g\u00f8re holdt en halv times tid. Det var i R\u00f8dvig. Det var de f\u00f8rste ca 41 km. Der er ca 40 mere til K\u00f8ge hvor jeg havde t\u00e6nkt mig at finde et sted for i nat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lige efter R\u00f8dvig kom jeg til Stevns Klint og Koldkrigsmuseum Stevnsfort. Havde jeg haft oceaner af tid, ville jeg godt have v\u00e6ret p\u00e5 den guidede tur, men det m\u00e5 blive en anden go gang. Men jeg var da lige rundt og snuse til det jeg kunne og n\u00f8d en dejlig magnum is med kokos og mango – en udem\u00e6rket blanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lidt derefter kom jeg til Stevns Fyr. Det er et meget flot sted hvor man kan g\u00e5 helt hen til kanten. Der var ogs\u00e5 opstillet en meget kraftig kiggert s\u00e5 man rigtig kunne spionere hvis man havde lyst til det.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generelt kunne man bruge rigtig mange timer til at g\u00e5 p\u00e5 disse f\u00e5 km nord fra R\u00f8dvig. Der er vel 4-5 forskellige attraktioner hvor de har v\u00e6ret s\u00e5 smarte at placere en gratis shuttlebus der k\u00f8rer gratis i pendul mellem disse. Her kunne Frederikshavn godt l\u00e6re noget i forhold til vores palmestrand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u00e5 et tidspunkt blev jeg overrasket af en regnbyge p\u00e5 ca 15 min da jeg var ved at tanke vand p\u00e5 en kirkeg\u00e5rd. Jeg stod under et godt tr\u00e6 s\u00e5 jeg ikke blev s\u00e5 v\u00e5d. Tr\u00e6et stod lige ved toilettet. Kort efter ankom to fyre ca p\u00e5 min alder ogs\u00e5 for at s\u00f8ge ly for regnen. S\u00e5 vi gik alle tre ind p\u00e5 toilettet – en sp\u00f8js situation, men vi fik en god snak. De var begge amerikanere der var fl\u00f8jet til k\u00f8benhavn (med deres cykler g\u00e5r jeg ud fra) og ville k\u00f8re til Firenze, mener jeg de sagde. Deres oppakning var meget let. De boede p\u00e5 hoteller undervejs. Dette muligg\u00f8r at de kan k\u00f8re v\u00e6sentlig l\u00e6ngere end jeg. Desuden kunne den ene af dem ligge i l\u00e6 for den anden n\u00e5r de k\u00f8rte. Meget Tour de France agtigt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De var imponeret over den danske infrastruktur, men de havde problemer med at navigere og finde de nationale cykelruter, som ogs\u00e5 i nogle tilf\u00e6lde er del af de internationale EuroVelo ruter. Men s\u00e5 kunne jeg heldigvis hj\u00e6lpe dem: tast www.cycle.travel<\/a>  og nyd det dejlige kort. De blev sv\u00e6rt begejstrede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeg stoppede ved K\u00f8ge ved \u201cK\u00f8ge og Vall\u00f8 Camping efter 81 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
