Cycling

Beautiful path through the pine forests in front of the sea. It gets a bit bumpy in places, as the path is often interrupted by sections of wooden planks lying across it.

Cycling

The dense forests along the coast are a great environmental asset. Originally a natural defense against the storms and sand dunes drifting inlands, they are now mostly replaced by pine plantations. Still, nice to bike through green nature and have some shade (at least when the sun stands lower). The smoothly paved bike trail runs parallel to the road but safely separate.

The area's natural forests have largely been replaced by pine forests, but they still offer a pleasant, shady path for cyclists, especially when the sun is lower in the sky. A well-maintained bike path winds alongside the main road, ensuring a safe cycling distance.
