Cycle along the coast or through the forests

Follow the North Coast Trail – Cycle Route 47 along the North Zealand coast, with views of the sea, beaches and charming coastal towns. If you prefer to head inland, Par Force Cycle Route 105 and Route 110 take you through forests and countryside shaped by the UNESCO-listed par force hunting landscape.

Several cycling routes pass through or close to the Nationalpark Royal North Zealand, where forests, lakes and cultural landscapes provide the setting for both short and longer bike rides.

If you do not have your own bike with you, you can rent a bike in North Zealand, making it easy to add a bike ride to a holiday or day trip.
