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,
