Cycle path along the dunes to Skagen

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you drive between the dunes towards Skagen. Great bike path - free ride. Wind, how else should it be on the coast, mostly from the front.

June 16, 2026,Heideweg bei Skagen – Die versandete Kirche von Skagen Runde von Grenen

What was planned as a circular route turned into a round trip because not all paths were actually suitable for our bikes. Nevertheless, this magnificent route is worth riding. Without any car traffic through idyllic landscapes.

Denmark's northernmost point – here you can stand with one foot in any sea! The waves visibly crash against each other.

Den Tilsandede Church

October 8, 2025,Skagen-Runde 😎☀️

Our penultimate day gave it our all, starting with a beautiful sunrise 🌄 over the Baltic Sea. I actually jumped on my bike in my sleeping gear, as we had parked the camper in the more sheltered front part of the site. I'll spare you that recording 🤪.
After breakfast, we headed back to Skagen, once again with a decent …

It had already been announced on the journey north and just as we arrived at the campsite in Hulsig the heavens opened and it poured with rain. But after 30 minutes it was over and it was time for us to saddle up our horses. We rode on a really good cycle path through the heath and dune landscape towards …

June 26, 2023,Tour nach Skagen oder auf der Flucht vor dem Unwetter

Sunday in Denmark, but we'll practice the Sunday weather again 😬.
Today we drove to Bunken by car and changed there by bike to the panorama route to Skagen. The path leads through dunes and heathland (very pretty splashes of color later in the year), past the silted-up church to Skagen.
When we got there, the sky had already darkened …
