RouteXpert Review We leave from the campsite “Nordsee” in Cuxhaven and drive over provincial roads through Germany and Denmark to the seaside resort of Sønderby in Denmark.
At Wischafen we cross the river Elbe with the ferry to Glückstadt. The crossing takes about 25 minutes and there is a ferry every 30 minutes. In the summer it can be very busy, so expect waiting times.
After the crossing we drive on back roads along the river Stör, every now and then there are sections with a few nice bends.
At Embüren we turn onto the N77 and drive via Rendsburg, Schleswig and Flensburg towards Denmark. Just before Schleswig you can enjoy a delicious lunch at Pizzeria Solemia in Jagel.
Once we have crossed the border we drive along the Flensborg Fjord, a beautiful drive with a wonderful panorama, it is definitely worth stopping to take some pictures and enjoy the beautiful view over the bay.
After about 1 hour drive we reach the town of Sønderborg, a nice town to stop for a short break and some sightseeing, there are several cafes, restaurants and you can visit the Sønderborg Castle.
Sønderborg Castle one of the most iconic castles in Southern Denmark. The castle, which is now a museum, shows the history of Sønderborg, the border area and the Schleswig-Holstein region that the Danes lost to the Germans in the 19th century.
End point for today is the beach camping in the seaside resort Sønderby. A simple camping with a snack bar/restaurant, shop and a beautiful beach on the Fjord.

Route Collections in this region 13 day roundtrip South Norway
A 13-part motorcycle journey through southern Norway is like a letter to nature, where every bend and every horizon reveals a new chapter. This journey is characterized by the smell of pine forests and the sound of cascading waterfalls, while your engine rumbles softly on the winding roads that take you deeper into the Norwegian wilderness.
A highlight of this trip is Dalsnibba, where you ride above the clouds and are greeted by panoramic views of deep fjords and snow-capped mountains. It feels like the world stands still for a moment as you admire the majestic beauty of the Geirangerfjord below you.
From there, the road takes you to Geiranger, an enchanting village nestled by the fjord of the same name. As you drive along the fjord, the waterfalls – such as the famous “Seven Sisters” – seem to perform a dance. Here you feel the grandeur of nature right into your soul.
The next few days will take you along the iconic Trollstigen, the "Troll Road". With its eleven hairpin bends and steep cliffs, it is an adventure in itself. As you reach the peaks, it feels like you are touching the ancient legends of Norway itself. The silence is only broken by the rushing of mountain streams and the hum of your engine.
Another highlight of the trip is the Atlantic Road, a masterpiece of road engineering that winds gracefully over small islands and bridges, as if designed by nature itself. With the Atlantic Ocean on either side, you feel the freedom of the open water, as the sea breeze caresses your face.
Every day is filled with contrasts: deep fjords and high mountain passes, serene lakes and wild coastlines. Norwegian culture – from picturesque villages to charming mountain huts – invites you to stop and enjoy heart-warming food and friendly encounters.
This journey is not just a ride; it is an ode to adventure, connection and the pure beauty of the world. You will return not only with unforgettable memories, but also with a heart that is forever a piece of Norway.
Some of the routes include sections of gravel roads. These roads are of such a quality that they are easy to drive for everyone. Gravel roads and cabins are an integral part of the real Norwegian adventure. They offer a unique opportunity to explore the country in an authentic, intimate way, away from the hustle and bustle of paved main roads and standard tourist accommodations.
Using gravel roads and staying in cabins offers a perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. During the day you explore rugged, remote areas where asphalt ends and nature begins. In the evening you relax in a cozy cabin, where the simplicity of life and the beauty of Norway come together.
Of course, you are also free to pitch your own tent at the campsites where the routes end.
This combination makes a holiday in Norway an unforgettable experience, where you get to know the real soul of the country. It is a way to get closer to nature, challenge yourself and at the same time have a warm refuge to recharge for the next day of discoveries.
