560 KM IN DENMARK'S MOST BEAUTIFUL NATURE
With the North Sea as a reliable guide, the West Coast Route winds effortlessly and sometimes in almost constant crosswinds through centuries-old natural and cultural landscapes. Fresh sea air, space for reflection, and beautiful North Sea sunsets are guaranteed.
The route winds through marshes, heaths, and dune plantations, past fjords, lakes, a geopark, national parks, and nature parks, and along wide, white sandy beaches. Everywhere you look, there is a rich variety of wildlife on land, in the water, and, not least, in the air. Discover Denmark's oldest and fifth-largest city, as well as a myriad of small and large fishing communities and idyllic seaside resorts. The tour takes you not only past iconic landmarks, towering lighthouses, and historic dune farms, but also past award-winning attractions and experiences.
