Route01It’s like the famous boxer Mike Tyson said:
“Everybody has a plan till you get punched in the mouth”

Well, the plan was to ride to my sailboat in Greece. The inevitable result of our lifestyle in relation to animal abuse has finally shown us that there has to be limits in our behavior.

Things are as they are and we have to make the best of it, so I changed my plan.
Since I have to stay within the borders of Denmark, I thought it could be funny to ride as close to them as you can go on a bicycle.

While playing with the route, I noticed that (of course) there are a lot of lighthouses scattered in the landscape. So, I thought, why not dedicate the ride to visiting or at least looking at, these lighthouses.
Normally with sailing, I use a lighthouse as an important beacon in my life, so why not also this time?

And that's how my new plan came about.

These are the routes and you can see which lighthouses I found to visit in the maps

dk lh01 dk lh02 dk lh03 dk lh04
649km +2.632m +4% 300km +1.474m +5% 1.172km +3.798 +5% 861km +3,184m +6.8%


2.984km in total. It can easily become 3.000 or more, as I did not draw all the small routes on the islands and how to visit remote lighthouses. We’ll see about that.
The side effect is that I will never be further away from leaving Denmark than only 2-3 days of cycling. As soon as the borders open again, I’m on my way to Greece.

I guess somewhere between the end of May and the end of July.

Maybe we meet on the route in a safe 2m distance :)
