    Cycling the Kattegat Coast // Denmark and Sweden // World Bicycle Touring Episode 29



    We took a ferry from Northern Germany to Denmark, where we followed country roads and bike paths to Copenhagen. From there, we continued up the coast and took a ferry to Helsingborg, Sweden. We cycled most of the Kattegattleden bicycle route as well as some Swedish islands before arriving in Strömstad, our final stop in Sweden before ferrying to Norway.

    We rode this section in July/August of 2022.

      I'm thinking of riding a route very similar to this one. In Sept i followed much of your gpx tracks through Sardinia, I think when you two were there in the winter traffic is much less than in September.

      you both have very calm voices. recently found your channel, now binge watching everything 🙂 it is awesome to see the world through a bike's perspective!

      It's hard to believe that you've actually traveled through all those countries on bicycles. Looking at your map in the opening frames is just awe inspiring. Your videos are always the best to relax and see places that I'll never visit. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

      Great to see more of your travels, and I think it is emblematic that you have ridden across Germany (with your Rohloff hubs, Ortlieb panniers, Schwalbe tyres and Tubus racks) and now you are entering Norway to take your Hilleberg tent on a trip back home. I am impressed at your 30 days of wild camping. I don't think that I could ever do it that tough; I would have to stop in a caravan park at least once every 4-5 days to get a real shower. Looking at those tyres, I reckon there is at least another 5,000-10,000kms in them. I would not be worrying too much until the tread blocks had at least been almost worn off. Denmark looked great for bicycle touring. Ride on joyfully.

      Denmark is easy to ride with wonderful free shelters at night, and the roads for bicycle are top standard.. But the country and the people are quite boring. it's certainly good cycle destination for beginners. But if you already did 2-3 cycling trips- skip it.

      Speaking of wild-camping, you guys have been riding through all sorts of weather conditions, and I mostly see you wearing a pretty limited set of clothing. You have all the camping kit, and are packing a couple of GoPros, and a drone. Extra batteries and chargers as well I presume. You do seem to have fairly small pannier loads (no rack top bag, no handlebar-bags) so I presume you are saving space by carrying limited clothing. I usually carry at least two sets of riding gear, some warmer layers, and some street clothing for around town. So my question – How do you deal with laundry needs? I have done this at times on bush-camps, using an Ortlieb bucket, but it is time consuming. And then there is the drying. I usually have to resort to drying some clothing strung on my panniers while riding… the Chinese laundry. But I have never seen this on your bikes. In winter in Albania, how did you dry clothes?
