Tips from the Community
Partially extremely difficult to ride, especially with headwinds. I rode to the island with my gravel bike and 45mm tires. But it's very much worth it! If necessary, you can push the bike. The path is a real highlight and adventure.

It is the oldest town in Denmark and has over 100 listed buildings. It is like walking through an open-air museum, but it is also somehow very modern. A great little town that is worth visiting.
