Nordic lightness between sea and culture

Discover Denmark by Bike & Sail

Denmark stands for vastness, wind and water – and for an incomparable feeling of freedom. Between gentle coastal landscapes, lively towns and small harbour villages, cycling and sailing combine to create a journey full of ease and discovery. The wind sets the course, the sea sets the rhythm – and you experience the country in the most natural way possible: from the deck of a tall ship and the saddle of your bike.

Along the Öresund – the strait between Denmark and Sweden – charming towns alternate with tranquil nature. Here, maritime flair and Nordic design meet centuries-old history: royal castles, white chalk cliffs, old fishing villages and modern architecture tell the story of a country that combines tradition and innovation with playful serenity.

Along the way, places with character beckon: Copenhagen with its creative energy, Malmö with its Scandinavian flair, Helsingør with Kronborg Castle and small fishing villages with colourful houses that tell the story of the sea. Between history, design and nature, a unique harmony emerges – Nordic clarity, simplicity and yet full of life.

Denmark shows how easy it is to combine active holidays and enjoyment. Whether sailing under white sails, cycling through the wind or dining on deck with a view of the sunset over the Öresund – these trips represent pure ‘hygge’ in the Nordic way.

Bike & sail in Denmark and Sweden

Across the Öresund from Copenhagen to Malmö

This extraordinary combination of sailing and cycling takes you along one of Northern Europe's most beautiful coastal routes on the tall ships Atlantis or Antigua. Between Copenhagen and Malmö, you will discover Denmark and southern Sweden from a completely new perspective – on water, on land and with the wind as your constant companion.

The route through the Öresund combines culture and nature in a unique way: Copenhagen's modern lightness, the royal castle of Kronborg in Helsingør, the fortress town of Landskrona and the small island of Ven with its artists' studios and cafés. Along the way, cycling stages alternate with sailing days – sometimes you glide relaxed across the sea, sometimes you cycle along the coast, through forests and dune landscapes.

In the evenings, your ship anchors in picturesque harbours or under the clear starry sky – Nordic ‘hygge’ in its purest form. A journey full of movement, tranquillity and the sound of the sea – ideal for anyone who wants to feel free and enjoy life between the wind and the waves.
