Cycling on Fanø

From North to South Fanø is only 15 km. You will find cycle paths connecting all towns and holiday areas. Moreover, the beach is perfect for riding your bike.

Between the towns and the holiday centers there are goog bicycle roads. That makes it safe and easy for all to ride the bike - also for children. There is hardly any traffic on the smaller roads on Fanø and therefore it is nice to cycle on them. As on the beach. Close to the water the sand is often very loose and difficult to bike in. Close to the dunes, however, the sand is hard and it is almost like riding on a bicycle road. The beach is perfect for cycling. 

In the middle of Fanø there are quite a lot of dirt roads where you are allowed to cycle. Some them are quite good, others are very sandy. Although Fanø is relatively small the nature is very varied. You see dunes and the beach, the landscape of the Wadden Sea, the dune heath and the forest in only one day. 

Ask at Fanø Tourist Office, where you can also acquire 5 different bicycle cards.
