Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Elseneur à Copenhague

Cycling Route: Elsinore to Copenhagen

Kick off your ride in historic Elsinore (Helsingør), home to the iconic Kronborg Castle—yes, Shakespeare’s Hamlet castle! From there, you’ll follow a mostly flat route hugging the Øresund coast towards Copenhagen, Denmark’s buzzing capital. The journey covers about 55 km, with gentle climbs that add up to just over 230 meters of ascent—perfect for enjoying the view without breaking the bank on energy.

About half the route is on dedicated cycleways, making for a chill and comfortable ride, while the other half sticks mostly to quiet roads. You’ll roll past charming seaside towns, stretches of open water, and lush Danish countryside. The path is almost entirely paved or asphalt, with just a touch of gravel to keep things interesting—nothing your tires can’t handle.

Finish up in Copenhagen, world-famous for its cycling culture, colorful Nyhavn harbor, and relaxed vibes. Grab a pastry and celebrate—this route is a sweet mix of nature, small towns, and city excitement!
