Discover Hillerød and Surroundings at Your Own Pace

Most cycling routes in the region start from Hillerød Station, whether you head north, south, east, or west. Routes are marked, and you can pick up a North Zealand cycling map before you go.

Town, Castle, and Lake

Follow route numbers 100 and 104 to visit Frederiksborg Castle, pass the town square, and enjoy the view of the castle lake – then head back to the station.

Forests, Birds, and World Heritage

For a more natural and historical experience, try the Parforce route through Gribskov (No. 105) or the shorter southern Parforce route (No. 110), both of which start and end at the station.

Why “Donkey” Bikes?

The name pays tribute to the donkey, once the most accessible and reliable mode of transport. Today, the bike fills that role. Just a bit of air in the tyres and oil on the chain, and you're ready to go. And with their bright orange colour, the bikes are easy to spot.
