FALSTER    RUNDT    Bicycle tour 15.8.2010

132 kilometers  bicycle route along the Danish coast

The bicycle route ‘Around Falster’ offers magnificent views, impressive landscapes and many other experiences. Enjoy the cosy market towns and the many sandy beaches and sights. Stop by the water or in a forest and take a detour on the sea with a mini ferry or a canoe.
‘Around Falster’ is a route of  much natural beauty – well-suited for a long weekend. On the cycle route map you will see 13 information tables that guide cyclists around Falster’s coast. Bicycle route no. 40 follows the national bicycle route 7, 8 and 9 for much of the tour, and it also follows the Sound route (Sundruten).
The island Falster is green and fertile and encircled by the Baltic Sea, Guldborgsund, Storstrømmen and Grønsund.

The landscape is flat with soft hills, valleys with streams and large and small forests that were formed as long ago as the Ice Age. There are ample opportunities for accommodation while you are under way in hotels, hostels and at camping sites (plus primitive camp sites and private homes) especially in Nykøbing Falster, Stubbekøbing and Marielyst.

When you cycle through the little roads and paths, you will pass:
 Gedser – Denmark’s southernest town with a view of the Baltic Sea
 Hasselø Plantation – situated at Guldborgsund
Nykøbing Falster – Falster’s main town with shops, restaurants, swimming centre, Middle Age centre, a zoo and sights
