Route Planning - Inner Coastal Loop

The family reunion is on the 26th of April near Bastad, Sweden. I leave Colorado on the 23rd and arrive in Copenhagen on the 24th.

From Copenhagen to the family reunion is roughly 115km which I plan to ride on the 25th and should be rideable in a day.

My ideal route, which I am naming the "Inner Costal Loop" would include the following:


  1. Copenhagen, DK to Bastad, SE: 156 km via Malmo, SE (worlds longest bridge connects Denmark and Sweden, are bikes allowed? )
  2. Bastad, SE to Gotenburg, SE: 182 km
  3. Gotenburk, SE to Frederikshavn, DK: Ferry
  4. Frederikshavn, DK to Arhus, DK: 181 km
  5. Arhus, DK to Billund, DK: 98 km
  6. Billund, DK to Copenhagen, DK: 262 km
  7. Total: 879 km ( 527 miles )

Some shorter alternatives include:

  1. Copenhagen, DK to Bastad, SE: 113 km via Helsingor, DK
  2. Arhus, DK to Copenhagen, DK: 115 km via ferry from Sjaellands, DK
  3. Total: 591 km ( 355 miles)
