Go for a walk in the heart of the holiday territory
The beaches along the Odder Coast attract sun-seeking holidaymakers to this picturesque stretch of coastline. Just behind the east coast's finest beaches lies a patchwork of holiday homes in peaceful and cosy surroundings. You can truly feel the relaxed holiday atmosphere on a walk through the area. This hiking route guides you through the scenic stretch between Saksild Beach and Dyngby Beach. It starts just south of Saksild Beach, allowing you to avoid the often-crowded beach areas. If you prefer a longer walk, you can begin the route at the public car park in Saksild.
Perfect for a short Sunday stroll
The route consists of two circular loops, which can be combined into a 5.6-kilometre hike. Both loops begin at the former beach hotel, Saksild Badehotel, on Chr. Petersensvej, and are clearly waymarked.
The shorter loop heads north on Chr. Petersensvej and meanders through the holiday home neighbourhood in Dyngby, following Posmosevej and Strandparksvej.
The longer loop follows the coastline south towards Dyngby from the beach hotel, then loops back through the charming holiday home area via Dyngby Havvej and Spongsvej.
