TET Denmark

Track 1:
The route follows public roads - most are surfaced but there are a few gravel sections as well.
It's a scenic route that offers nice riding on small roads, mostly surfaced but with a few gravel sections thrown into the mix, to give you a taste of The Eastern Islands.
In the south you will be visiting several island connected by bridges.
Just before you reach Sweden, you will pass through the centre of Copenhagen following an interesting route that offers you a good view of the Capital.
Track 2:
You can expect a route with a great degree of terrain variety, alternating between tarmac, gravel roads, compacted tracks, forest and grass lanes.
Occasionally you will encounter sand and more technical sections, especially in adverse weather. These might not be easy to foresee, so keep an eye out. Difficulty is always hard to grade, depending on too many factors to account for.
The track can be considered easy compared to many other TET countries, with some moderate sections, and a few more difficult ones. Pick your challenges.
The unavoidable tarmac sections will offer you a welcome change of pace to stretch your legs and get on the throttle.
The track can definitely be ridden by bigger bikes. Knobby tires are recommended.
Denmark is a very densely populated country, so although you might feel at times that you are traveling through a sparsely populated area - especially when you leave the tarmac - remember that people always live nearby, and please keep the TET Code of Conduct in mind!
We invite you to stop often and take time to explore what the country has to offer. Pack a pair of hiking boots, there’s more to the country than what you can ride - and don't forget to bring your swimming gear.

Track 2:
Lakolk beach on the island of Romø: One of Europe’s largest beaches, and one of the very few you can ride on.
Mandø: A small island on the Wadden Sea, which is the breeding area to multitudes of birds. The island is connected to the mainland via a rough unpaved road, and is only accessible at low tide. Don’t get caught racing the tide. Or do, but send pictures.
Wadden Sea Centre: Learn about migratory birds and the surrounding UNESCO world heritage environment.
Randbøl Heath: Denmark’s largest inland heath, a raw, peaceful and historically significant area with an informative recreation area (Naturrum Kirstinelyst), a perfect starting point for walks in the surrounding nature.
Vejle: While the track purposely avoids or takes the most direct way into/out of cities, take the time to explore this town. Grab something to eat, and get a feel of what life is in a middle sized Danish city.
Gudenåens Kilde: The source of the river Gudenåen, Denmark’s longest river. The same river that will feed the lakes in the Silkeborg area you will encounter later in this journey.
Himmelbjerget: “The Sky Mountain” or “The Mountain of Heaven” - Park your bike and go for a stroll around what until 1847 was believed to be Denmark’s highest natural point (although at a mere 147m). Beautiful views of the surrounding areas can be seen from the top of the hill.
Kalø Castle Ruin: A short walk takes you to the remains of the Kalø medieval castle. Although not much of it is left, its cultural significance and the idyllic surrounding area make the stop worth it.
Mols Bjerge Nationalpark: Unpack your boots one last time, and go explore the extensive network of trails of the very hilly and forested Mols Bjerge National Park.
