Cycling day trip from Slagelse to Ringsted

Ready for a scenic ride across Zealand? Start out in Slagelse—one of Denmark’s oldest towns, known for its cool Viking history and cobbled streets—then set your sights east toward Ringsted. The route is about 67 km and mostly follows smooth asphalt cycleways and quiet country roads, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the rolling countryside (and barely any busy traffic!).

There’s a bit of elevation—about 243 meters in total climb—but nothing too crazy, and you’ll be rewarded with fresh air and peaceful views the whole way. Ringsted, your destination, is another historic Danish town, famous for its medieval church, Sankt Bendt's Kirke, and lively town center.

Pack some snacks for the ride, stop in charming villages along the way, and don’t forget your camera—the landscape between Slagelse and Ringsted is classic Danish countryside at its finest!
