Is it possible to get from Copenhagen to Germany by bicycle? Which way will be better?
We are planning bicycle tour from Helsinki to Rome. At first we thought to get from Copenhagen to Flensburg, but it seems that we can`t pass some bridges on bicycle.

You have to take a ferry. The fastest way to germany would be to bike to Gedser and take the ferry to rostock or bike to Rødby and then the ferry to Puttgarden. You probably can also take a ferry from sjealand to fyn and from fyn to jylland, but I have never tried that.
Thank you!
There are several ferries that you can take. Check out either Rødby-Puttgarten or Gedser-Rostock, both operated by Scandlines.
Thank you!
Hey guys!
It's correct that you can't bike across some of the Danish bridges... Specifically the Øresunds Bridge, between Malmö and Copenhagen, and the Great Belt Bridge are closed for bikes... To get around the first bridge between Sweden and Denmark, you can board the short ferry-ride between Helsingborg and Helsingør... To get around the Great Belt you can take a ferry from either Rødby or Gedser to northern Germany (Putgarden and Rostock, respectively)... Alternatively, you can take a train across the Great Belt boarding in Korsør and getting off in Nyborg...
If you really want an adventure on some of Denmark's back roads, you can bike down to Nakskov, take a small ferry (departing the village of Tars) to the island of Langeland. From here you can bike past Svendborg and Faaborg, where there is another small ferry from the village of Bøjden to Fynshavn on the island of Als, near Sønderborg... From here it's a relatively easy ride to Flensborg...
Happy travels, Ask
Thank you!
yea, didn't think of those. But right, that'd make a great trip on bike.
From Sjaelland to Fyn you would have to find a train or bus t bring your bike, as there are not really ferry anymore between Fyn and Sjaelland. From Sjaelland to Jylland there is a route by ferry, but it would bring you on a route which would add another day to your bike trip i think. Best is just to bike South and take the ferry from Denmark to Germany.
Thank you! I think we`ll take ferry
bicycles on a bus? Not in Denmark, unfortunately. Unless you dismantle them into handy pieces that can be put in a bag.
Hey! yeah I have tried at least cycling from very near copenhagen down to Rødby where theres a ferry to germany. You can follow one of the national cycle routes which means signposts all the way. SOme bridges you can't cross but there are always ways around like with small ferries.
National cycle route 9 will take you all the way from Copenhagen down to Gedser. There are shelters on the way- some where you can just show up. Some that you should book. Its a nice route with some good views and lots of countryside !
CHeck out the national bicycle routes on Denmark Vej Direktorat (Road directory) here :) https://trafikkort.vejdirektoratet.dk/index.html?usertype=3
Thank you!
The best and most secure way is to get a flight and forget the bicycle 🚲 ☺️ Then you have short to reach your goal but you may have your credit card ready...
Thank you, but it is our main idea - ride all the way on a bicycle)
you have to do ferries and you can chose to go one ferry from rødby/putgarden but this is the way I would chose https://goo.gl/DTS3cV that'l take you to sydfyn this is just a quick Google search you can probably find better cycle routes and sites to see when you are in the planning mode I'll put in some locations that'l be on your route, I hope this will help you choose your route have a nice trip going cycling /C
Thank you! We`ll think
thinking is always good :)
Jep, it is possible indeed. The route from Copenhagen to Berlin is beautiful. I rode it some years ago during the fall and the nature was beautiful and the signposts were very easy to follow. I can only imagine that during the spring it will be even better! I took the from Gedser to Rostock and did not cross any bridges. Good luck with your trip. It sounds awesome!
Cool! Thank you!
You can bicycle, on bycycle routes, along the water all the way from Copenhagen to Køge. Most of the way just a few meter from the ocean. (email me here or on anders@basechat.com if you want the exact map)
After Køge i dont know, but there are still very good roads, and probably many bycycle only routes.
From Rødby you can sail to Fehmarn og from Gedser you can sail to Rostock. On both ferry you can bring bycycles.
I will say Gedser and Rostock is a better way to go than Rødby Fehmarn (the later more is much more industrial).
Thank you! It`s really cool!
Sure it's possible. Depending where in Germany you want to go to you can take the Rødby-Puttgarden ferry or the one from Gedser to Rostock. Another possibility is to go over Sweden, fx. from Trelleborg to Travemünde. Until some years ago there were a few smaller ferries from Denmark to Germany but they're all out of business now. Alas, because they were really nice, especially for travelling without motor vehicles.
In my opinion, the suggestion somebody else made her, taking the ferry from Lolland to Langeland and then another small ferry to the south of Jutland is the most interesting route. That way you can follow international and national bicycle trails for the most part, you keep off the big roads and it's probalby also the cheapest and fastest way for bikes. Might even be the shortest too and it's definitely the most scenic route. I can help you finding the details when you're with us.
Thank you! At first we thought that we can pass all the bridges by bicycle) We were too naive and did not know the geography very well)) I think such issues should definitely be studied in geography lessons instead of strange statistical data)
I think, that well finally take the Rødby-Puttgarden ferry. What about small ferries, we thought that this situation is characteristically for russian ferries, but it seems there are such plomlems with small ferries in Europe too. Its sad.
Capitalism is ruling the entire world, not only Russia ;-) and what's not profitable has to go. When we still had socialism in Scandinavia the small ferries got subsidies that kept them alive. Now our politicians say subsidies are illegitimate because they distort the competition. Which means only the big corporations and big financial institutions now get subsidies - because we can't afford to loose them, so they say. In the end, it's all your fault, because you Russians gave in to capitalism and since then there's no alternative ;-) What's so sad is that, if we want to survive as civilised species, we need cooperation, not competition. It's competition that has brought us into the current quagmire, but the only solution our politicians can see is even more of what brought us the problems. And then... there's no requirement about a minimum measure of intelligence for politicians, any idiot can become a prime minister.
I think this is a topic for a long conversation) And I agree that the future is for cooperation. Moreover, the changes are already felt. We periodically listen to seminars about business and there are more and more taught to build partnerships instead of shouting out competitors
