Between Copenhagen and Malmö, you will discover charming towns, historic harbors, idyllic villages and quiet islands along the Öresund - a strait rich in tradition and history. The journey begins in Copenhagen, where you first cycle along the water to the Hamlet city of Helsingør. You then cycle along the “Danish Riviera” through rolling hills. After a night-time crossing, you reach the Swedish side with Helsingborg and cycle on to the fortress town of Landskrona. From there you cross over to the artists' island of Ven - a scenic and cultural highlight. A sailing day takes you further south to Køge or Rødvig.
