Guided Wilderness Mountain Bike Tour

Our Wilderness Tour on MTB is a unique 3-day guided MTB tour through the Danish wilderness! Our skilled guides find the best routes and the coziest campsites, bring home the best local produce and create an unforgettable nature experience in the wild, North Jutland nature.

The Wilderness Mountain Bike Tour is our very own concept, and one that we are particularly proud of. It came about because this is exactly how we prefer to spend three adventurous days on our bikes in nature. As a participant you can look forward to wild nature, wild tracks and wild food! During the three days we will ride two longer tours through some of the wildest, most beautiful and most desolate nature we have in Denmark. Overnight stays will be partly outdoors and, when it’s time to cozy up, it will be around the fire, in front of the fireplace and in the wilderness caravan. In addition, you can look forward to tasting fantastic local produce as we prepare delicious food over an open fire together with Kresten Kronborg from Madsmedjen.

Suggested programme

Day 1

15.00-16.00: Arrival at Slettestrand with the option for coffee and cake.
Bags and sleeping bags can be dropped off in reception on arrival.

16.00: The bikes are loaded on the trailer

16:30: We meet dressed and ready at reception, where a bus is waiting to transport us along the coast and into the Danish wilderness to the west of Slettestrand. The bus will drop us off a short distance from our first camp site, and we will bike the last section of the journey. The luggage will be transported all the way to the camp site, so you don’t need to bike with it.

Once we’ve set up camp, we can relax, drink local beer, tell tales and enjoy a delicious meal of local produce. We will sleep in tents, a Lavvu or some other exciting accommodation.

Day 2

Day 2 starts with a cosy time around the campfire, where we will prepare an energetic “Wilderness Breakfast”. Around 10 am we cycle to Slettestrand. Ahead of us there are about 6 hours of cycling and 50-70 km. Together we will ride natural tracks and experience the beautiful and wild nature! Along the way we will pass Denmark’s only bird mountain, the old fishing village Thorupstrand and lots of beautiful viewpoints. Our guides will provide plenty of stories about the landscape and culture along the way.
The luggage is transported to the next camp, so you only need to cycle with what you need during the day.

Lunch on day 2 will be fresh, delicious and authentic. We won’t say much more, other then look forward to it!

First thing in the evening we arrive at the Food Forge. Here we will cook together, under expert guidance, a delicious menu of local ingredients in the Madsmedjen’s wood-fired ovens. Afterwards, it’s cosy time in front of the fireplace and relaxing in the wilderness camp.

From days 2 to 3, there is the option to sleep indoors for those who wish.

Day 3

We prepare breakfast at the camp, before setting off to continue our journey along the coast and explore the area to the east of Slettestrand. We will bike for approximately 3 hours, with several shorter breaks on our way. The tour will end back at Slettestrand, where we can relax and soothe our tired muscles in the sauna and the lovely warm water pool.

13.00: We will round-off our adventure with a delicious lunch buffet in Restaurant Slettestrand.
