Tour de France route on Zealand - regional cycle route 27
Follow the Tour de France legacy on regional cycle route 27 from Roskilde, west of Copenhagen, through Zealand’s fjord and Ice Age landscapes. To continue to Nyborg on the island of Funen, take the train from Korsør across the Great Belt; cycling on the bridge is not allowed.
Stage 2 started in beautiful, historic Roskilde and then travelled through picturesque landscapes along fjords and over hills, along the stunning west coast and finishing in Nyborg.
The Tour de France peloton has to cross the Great Belt, while you can take the train from Korsør to Nyborg. It's easy to find your way back to the route from the stations. There are plenty of exciting experiences for young and old along the route.
