Transport on Samsø on the iron horse
Take you bike on the ferry to Samsø
or rent one on the island
Samsø is ideal to see from the bicycle saddle. There are good cycle paths all the way from the capital Tranebjerg to Nordby. With as many as 22 villages around the island, it is never far to the next village and in many of them it is possible to get a refreshment.
Most of the island is relatively flat, so the altitude meters will not knock you out. The only place the altitude is really challenged is up to the island’s highest point Ballebjerg. But the “mountain” is worth the trip, with great views and wonderful walks in the area.
VisitSamsø has a lot of inspiration to get around by bike on Samsø.
