Roundtrip by bike near Daugård
Lovely bike ride through the hilly nature north of Vejle Fjord. Along the way you will pass through varied landscape, the villages Daugård and Ørum, Daugård Beach, and Ørum River Valley.
Beautiful cycling country around Daugård
The north side of Vejle Fjord boasts truly distinctive natural landscapes. The area around Daugård offers a diverse range of outdoor experiences that are easy to combine into a scenic cycling tour. This 15-kilometre circular route showcases some of the best nature the region has to offer.
You can begin your ride from several locations – for example, in Daugård at the Ørum-Daugård Multicentre, by Ørum Church, or at the public car park near Daugård Beach. It all depends on whether you wish to combine this route with another. In this guide, we take Daugård as the starting and finishing point of the loop.
From Daugård, head south along Skolevej and continue on Korshøjvej towards the fjord and Daugård Beach. The landscape here is flat and rural, but suddenly you will be greeted by a breathtaking view from the top of one of Denmark’s steepest hills, Askebjerg. From this vantage point, you will enjoy spectacular views across the fjord. A steep descent brings you down to the idyllic area around Daugård Beach. Make sure to visit this lovely Blue Flag beach – one of the best in the region. Here you will also find toilet facilities and a great spot to pause by the water.
Continue along Strandvejen. The route now climbs uphill and leads inland through the picturesque Ørum River Valley. Several spots along the way offer exceptional views. At the village of Belle, you will cross the main road and continue north on the scenic, wooded Sønderskovvej, which runs alongside the stream. If you feel like stretching your legs, you can take a short walk along the signposted 2.3-kilometre trail known as the Ørum Nature Track. The road leads to the village of Ørum, where you will find a large, well-equipped rest area on your left as you enter the town. Just north of Ørum, you will make a 180-degree turn and head south again towards Daugård via Hestehaven.
