Not counting cycle paths in the large cities, the Ringkøbing–Søndervig path is the oldest cycle path in Denmark. It was created to give prominent citizens the opportunity to cycle from the market town of Ringkøbing to the healthy air in the seaside town of Søndervig. The path is part of National Route 4, which runs from Søndervig to Copenhagen. The path is gravel-coated and you ride right down along the edge of Fjord’s rushes and reeds, with a beautiful view over the water. The route continues from Ringkøbing to Skjern, where you pass the Skjern River and landscapes of plantations and heaths. Follow the blue cycle route signs labelled no. 4.
