Cycle path along the dunes to Skagen

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you drive between the dunes towards Skagen. Great bike path - free ride. Wind, how else should it be on the coast, mostly from the front.

A very good to ride bike path through the dunes in which the Erika flowers in the fall. A real "eye candy".

August 10, 2022,N-L-S, Tag 8: Von Jerup Strand nach Grenen (Skagen)
By bike from Niebüll to Skagen, the last day and not too far to go.
It starts from Jerup Strand via Aalbæk and Hulsig into the Hulsig Hede, a sandy heathland that extends to Skagen. Here we see one of Skagen's landmarks, Den tilsandede Kirke, which, contrary to what the name suggests, is not completely sunken in the sand, but …

Unfortunately we got wet to the bone; there was a festival going on in Skagen and we couldn't enjoy it.

Eurovelo route 1. Excellent surface winding through trees, sand dunes. Goes through Skagen en route to the end of the road at Grenan. Same route back.
Tour through a wonderful landscape and on a well-developed bicycle road where you meet many other cyclists.

October 8, 2025,Skagen-Runde 😎☀️
Our penultimate day gave it our all, starting with a beautiful sunrise 🌄 over the Baltic Sea. I actually jumped on my bike in my sleeping gear, as we had parked the camper in the more sheltered front part of the site. I'll spare you that recording 🤪.
After breakfast, we headed back to Skagen, once again with a decent …

Another popular route: the Panorama Route to Skagen.
The starting point was Bunken and then we continued to Skagen with the increasing wind, which in the meantime killed one of the poles of our brand new tent.
In Grenen we added a walking loop to the meeting of the seas.

Denmark's northernmost point – here you can stand with one foot in any sea! The waves visibly crash against each other.

Den Tilsandede Church
A 14th-century church whose nave has now been swallowed up by sand. Only the tower remains.

October 2, 2025,Bunken - Skagen
Another week of vacation in the north is upon us, even if things hadn't been planned that way. Originally, the Zeeland Marathon in the Netherlands was supposed to be one of the events, but since that was fully booked, the Skagen Marathon was now on my husband's list.
We got our little camper ready one last time, headed to the …
