Denmark is ideal for cyclists

Denmark is ideal for cyclists and the very flat West Coast in particular.
A bicycle tour is a wonderful way to experience the Wadden Sea National Park: The wind, the weather, the seasons, the light, the quiet that only makes the song of birds more amazing ... both if you are alone, if you are more - and also if you are a couple who want a sustainable honeymoon ♥ The wedding picture shows newlyweds Zhenia from Russia and Stefan from Germany with bridal bouquet and one of our bikes ♥.

A bike ride into the Wadden Sea National Park:

Cycling is a great way to get out and about in the Wadden Sea National Park. From the hostel in Ribe you go to Kammerslusen (Ribe Waterway Lock), along the Ribe Dike and the Wadden Sea, you follow the North Sea Cycle Route to Mandø Ebbevej and the Wadden Sea Centre. Continue along the Ribe marshland and back to Ribe. Approx. 25 km.
Get a free bicycle map "Hiking and biking map of Ribe" when you rent your bike.

The North Sea Cycle Route

The North Sea Cycle Route (The West Coast Route) in Denmark follows the National Cycle Route No. 1 from the Danish-German border in the south to Skagen in the north, a total of 570 km. Read here about the book "Cycling Back to Happiness - adventures on the North Sea Cycle Route", written by the English journalist Bernie Friend, who fell in love with Ribe: "Cycling Back to Happiness" (site under update)
