You start your journey in Højer, a picturesque village in Denmark. With the wind in your hair, as far as it can reach under your helmet, you drive to the town of Ribe, the oldest town in Denmark. Ribe will enchant you with its cobbled streets, historical buildings and the majestic Ribe Cathedral. You can take your time to walk through the old town and enjoy the dark atmosphere.
After Ribe you can continue your route to Varde, a town known for its cultural heritage. Here you will find historic churches, museums and beautiful parks.

The next town is Nebel, an idyllic village in the heart of the Wadden Sea National Park. This charming town is surrounded by vast landscapes and has a relaxed atmosphere. You can enjoy a walk along the dike and breathe in the fresh sea air.
From Nebel the tour continues to Nymindegab, a picturesque village on the west coast of Denmark. Here you will be treated to beautiful views over the vast beach and dunes. You can even stop to relax on the beach and enjoy the sounds of the sea. It is an excellent place to go for lunch.
With your stomach full and new energy in your veins, you continue your journey along the winding coastal road. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocky coast gives you a feeling of serenity and freedom. The breathtaking views over the North Sea and the rugged cliffs are a feast for the eyes.
You will pass through many small coastal towns known for their peaceful atmosphere and beautiful nature. Driving along winding roads will be rewarded with panoramic views of the North Sea. Here you can even stop and enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the local cafés.
Finally you reach your final destination: Hanstholm.
Located in Northwestern Jutland, Denmark, it is a charming fishing village known for its beautiful coastlines, rich fishing tradition and unique, rugged landscape.

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.
