Hey everyone,
I’m planning my first ever bikepacking trip (!!!) and I’d really appreciate your thoughts, advice and knowledge about the Danish landscape and best routes before I set off.
I'll travel in July. Gravel bike. Tent, but also hotels and camping.
Here’s the rough itinerary – but suggestions are very welcome:
- Saturday: Start in Hamburg → Lübeck
- Sunday: Lübeck → Fehmarn
- Monday: Fehmarn → Maribo
- Tuesday: Maribo → Møns Klint (is it really worth the detour? I’ve seen people here rave about it)
- Wednesday: Møns Klint → Næstved
- Thursday: Næstved → Copenhagen
- Friday: Day trip to Malmö + Lund → back to Copenhagen
- Saturday: Helsingør (and back to Copenhagen)
- Sunday: Train back
A few things I’m wondering:
- Is this too ambitious for a first trip, or reasonably doable?
- What would you change? Where would you go?
- How’s the cycling infrastructure and wind conditions along this route (especially Fehmarn → Denmark)?
- Is Møns Klint worth the extra effort, or would you adjust the route?
- Any must-know tips for this region (campsites, ferries, food stops, or things to avoid)?
I’m trying to balance challenge with actually enjoying the ride and testing the equipment and myself.
Curious to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve done parts of this route or something similar.
Thanks a lot!

I went from Copenhaguen to Hamburg with a friend on may 2019 (during a longer trip), and we planned the route day to day and it was quite easy to find a shelter/legal spot to camp.
We had a bit of wind but it was a nice week and i think it is a good destination for a first trip
