Highlight • Cycleway

A very good to ride bike path through the dunes in which the Erika flowers in the fall. A real "eye candy".

Beautiful cycle path through nature, but you have to be careful with oncoming groups of racing cyclists because they sometimes avoid you very closely

Unfortunately we got wet to the bone; there was a festival going on in Skagen and we couldn't enjoy it.

When we got there, the sky had already darkened …

Day 2 in Denmark, the sun is beckoning, so we saddle up our bikes in Bunken despite the wind. The bike path to Skagen is one of our favorite routes, but this time we're making a detour to Råbjerg Mile, as a dark cloud is gathering dramatically and promises some interesting photos.
