The Danish west coast hides the most charming bicycle routes in jutland. All along the route, all your senses are bombarded with impressions. Heather and rose hips, along with pine trees, buckthorn, and blueberries, create fine and spicy scents. The sea and the fjord also produce different scents, and a fresh smell of fish of course. The lapping waves and chirping birds provide a great background on the heaths, where you cannot hear cars and other people.

It winds its way through the terrain and please note that it is a gravel path, which is best suited for bicycles with broad tires.
