This scenic traffic-free path winds through the coastal dunes and offers stunning views of the Baltic Sea (technically, the meeting point of the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas). It's also the starting point of Denmark’s National Cycle Route 5 (Østkystruten), which runs along the country’s eastern coast.

This type of cycle path runs through large parts of Denmark and is great to ride on. It is a highlight for smaller children because you can ride on the road like the grown-ups.
