Cycling In Denmark

Denmark is a beautiful cycling country and Skanderborg and the Danish Lake District is an exciting and very suitable area for biking.

With Skanderborg Sø Camping as starting point, we offer a free bicycle map with 10 biking routes for our guests. All tours are round trips between 15 – 55 km and most of them can be shortened, prolonged and combined just as you like.

All the routes are made with the purpose for you to experience the very varied and beautiful nature in these environs, with peaceful lake areas, woods, fields, smooth hills and valleys. Other experiences on the routes are the small villages, the farmer and handicraft shops and the churches you pass along the way. The routes are along small, winding roads without much traffic or on cycle paths. Some short distances are on moderately trafficked main roads with cycle stripes. A few kilometres are gravel paths. Some of the routes are with smooth hills, but with just a normal physical fitness, most people can do them easily.

“VisitSkanderborg” has published a brochure with 12 beautiful bicycle tours in the Lake District, with distances between 10 – 40 km, you can have it for free at the camp site. Some of the tours are in cycling distance from Skanderborg Sø Camping, others you’ll have to reach by car.

Several of the regional and national biking routes go through the Lake District and we will gladly provide you with suggestions and maps, when you accommodate at the camp site.

Skanderborg Sø Camping is a member of “CyclingDenmark” and “Bed + Bike” which means that we are well informed about the biking possibilities in the Danish Lake District and environs, that you can buy meals at the site or use a kitchen for self-catering, that we have a room where you can dine, that you can get your clothes and equipment dried, that you can borrow the most needed tools for reparing your bike, and that we can advise you in almost all biking related matters.
