In this section in Humlebæk you bike along the coast. The houses are really beautiful and there are many beaches. A paradise.

At one point a wooden bridge leads over the waters of the moor, then you walk along a narrow headland. Beautiful nature and a wonderful path.

Benches and a table – that's often all you need to take a long break in the middle of nature. With a fantastic view, you can eat your snacks in peace and quiet.

A lovely spot to enjoy the view of the lake. In summer the trees offer shade.

The Louisiana Museum is an absolute highlight north of the Danish capital Copenhagen. The extensive building and the beautiful park offer a large collection of modern and contemporary art. Recommended!!!
