‘Around Falster’ is a 135 kilometers’ route of much natural beauty – well-suited for a long weekend. On the cycle route map you will see 13 information tables that guide cyclists around Falster’s coast. Bicycle route no. 40 follows the national bicycle route 7, 8 and 9 for much of the tour, and it also follows the Sound route.


The island Falster is green and fertile and encircled by the Baltic Sea, Guldborgsund, Storstrømmen and Grønsund. The landscape is flat with soft hills, valleys with streams and large and small forests that were formed as long ago as the Ice Age. There are ample opportunities for accommodation while you are under way in hotels, hostels and at camping sites (plus primitive camp sites and private homes) especially in Nykøbing Falster, Stubbekøbing and Marielyst.
