Ride along the Køge Bay, hugging the Baltic Sea coastline. Enjoy the scenery of the car-free Amager Fælled National Park, and maybe make a stop at the Arken Museum of Modern Art. Located on the coast, Køge is one of the oldest towns in Denmark. Take a stroll along the white sandy beach or an invigorating dip in the sea.
Day 3: Køge – Næstved (approx. 60 km)
Say goodbye to the coast as you head inland through southern Zealand and its lush green meadows and forests. The medieval town of Næstved with its old town houses is fun to explore, or you could visit the Rococo Gavnø castle.

Continue west towards the Great Belt. You will soon reach the small coastal town of Karrebæksmind. The small sandy beach near Enø is the perfect spot for sunbathing.

Head back inland through the countryside. Highlights along the route include the ring fort at Trelleborg built around 900 BC, it offers a modern museum where you can learn about life and culture during the Viking age. Once in Sorø, it is worth visiting the 12th century monastery, based on the Cistercian abbey of Fontenay.
Day 6: Sorø/surrounding – Roskilde (approx. 65 km)
Cycle through green fields and beautiful little villages. Pass the Ise Fjord and Roskilde bay, before reaching Roskilde itself with its imposing cathedral a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. The Viking ship museum is also worth a visit.
