Follow along as we cycle coast to coast on a bikepacking journey across Denmark in search of Denmarks wild side with our Jack Russell terrier, Banjo the adventure puppy.
Now, you might wonder, why leave the forests and mountains of Norway behind to ride bikes in Denmark? A whopping sixty percent of Denmark is made up of farmland. Only a minuscule 13 percent of Denmark is covered by forest. In other words: You don’t travel to Denmark to experience vast wilderness.
But there is something else about the Denmark. A different sort of wild. Consisting of Jutland and a whole bunch of islands, Denmark have a remarkably high coastline to mainland ratio. In other words: Denmark is a coastal land. Denmarks wild side is the coast.
The question, though, is where do you camp close to the coast in Denmark? Camping on the beach with a tent isn’t allowed. The solution? The few small designated areas where camping is allowed, often with wooden lean-to’s big enough to swallow a small tent. It might not be epic wilderness, but it sure has a charm of its own.
