Cycle Tour Kattegat South

Eight days of bicycle holiday around the southern part of Kattegat, which is the body of water north of Funen/Zealand between Jutland and Sweden. Planned as a "wilderness trip" with accommodation at shelter sites or in the woods in my tent, with primitive cooking and bath in the sea or in a lake. Comprises two ferry crossings: Elsinore (Zealand, Denmark) to Helsingborg (Scania, Sweden) and Halmstad (Halland, Sweden) to Grenaa (Jutland, Denmark)

I intend to bike as close to the coast as possible. With exceptions on a kind of prologue from the station of Roskilde along the fiord of Roskilde to the northern coast of Zealand and also on the way back in Jutland, where I often go further away from the coast, as the peninsulas and deep fiords would make a route along the coast too long.

The landscape is characterized by the coast with long stretches through nature and large forests and fine beaches, in Denmark sandy or stony ones, in Sweden mostly rocky beaches. Highlights are the wild Swedish peninsulas of Kullen and Bjäre. However, I will also pass larger towns and cities like Helsingborg, Halmstad, Aarhus, Horsens and Vejle.

Train transport from Odense to Roskilde on the outbound trip and from Middelfart to Odense on the hombound one.

Ferry transport from Halmstad to Grenaa will also have to be planned in advance.
