Østkystruten - Route T19 - Bicycle route in Kolding

Bøgeskov - Hejlsminde

The east coast route, which follows national route 5, is slightly hilly. It follows Lillebælt through Fredericia and Kolding and along the way provides views of Kolding Inlet, Mosvig and Hejlsminde Bay. The centre of Fredericia consists of streets at right angles surrounded by one of the best preserved ramparts in Northern Europe, dating back to the 1600s. The town centre has a large selection of specialty shops, cafés and restaurants. If you feel like a quick dip, the beach at Østerstrand is close to the city centre. Enjoy an ice cream at the kiosk on the beach or stroll along the scenic path at the water’s edge.

From Fredericia, the route continues to Kolding and further south onto the Stenderup Peninsula. On the Stenderup Peninsula, we suggest a walk in the Stenderup woods, where some of the trees are more than 500 years old. Enjoy your bring-along coffee at Løverodde with a view over the Little Belt. At Skamlingsbanken you will come across one of the oldest monuments in Danish history. The granite column was raised in 1863 in memory of those who fought for the Danish cause. Today, Skamlingsbanken is a popular excursion spot, and in summer free operas are staged here, which attract audiences of up to 30,000.

The route ends in the old Hejlsminde fishing hamlet, which today is a small seaside resort. The old Hejlsminde Badehotel was constructed in 1912 and is today regarded as the town’s landmark. If you enjoy water sports, we suggest you call in at Dunkerbeck Windsurfing Centre, which is located a stone throw from the waterfront. The centre hires out gear and offers courses in windsurfing, stand-up paddling and similar.
