Hey everyone, first time bikepacker here. Is this route possible?
I’m planning my first-ever bikepacking trip and want to go through Denmark. I found a route on Google Maps that looks good, and it says it doesn’t require any ferries – can that be true?
Also, are there any WhatsApp groups or communities for bikepacking in Denmark?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice! 🙌
Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪🚴

Hey man, sorry I can’t give a longer answer I’m about to start work! But I recommend looking at EuroVelo for pre-established bike network routes. Handy for planning. Best of luck!
Google will take you on the main roads that are not
nice to ride on but are the fastest. Country roads or paths are wayyyy nicer. Try danish national cycling routes, Marguerite route or komoot or strava heat maps. Anything is better than google 🙂
It is possible, but this Route obviously includes ferry rides e.g. to Fyn. Which is not a problem though. In Hamburg i recommend to use the S-Bahn to start from a outer district because otherwise youll mainly wait at traffic lights and wont see any nice sights lol.
In Schleswig Holstein it’s a little nicer to ride closer to the east coast imo, which I just did.
Have fun
It’s a decent route. In my opinion the south islands hop is the best option when going from Germany to Copenhagen. But I’d recommend redoing it in komoot and avoid the straight line to Køge by adding Stevns Klint to the route.
