Herning Rundt

Discover Nature, City and Adrenaline on Two Wheels

A 28 km cycling route that connects scenic landscapes, urban vibes, and thrilling singletracks.

If you're looking for an exciting and varied cycling experience in Denmark, Herning Rundt offers a perfect mix of nature, urban exploration, and mountain biking. This 28 km loop winds its way through the surroundings of Herning, taking you past serene lakes, lush forests, and vibrant neighborhoods – all within a day’s ride.

Designed with mountain bikers in mind, the route links several singletrack trails in areas like Gullestrup, Lind, Ydunsparken, and the well-known Knudmosebjerget. These sections offer different levels of technical challenge, from flowy forest paths to steep climbs that will get your heart pumping. The descent from Knudmosebjerget, with its 79 meters of elevation, is sure to put both your skills and stamina to the test.

However, Herning Rundt is not just for hardcore MTB riders. The route is also accessible by regular city or touring bikes, making it ideal for active families or casual riders who want to explore the Herning area from the saddle. Whether you prefer fast-paced singletrack or a more relaxed pace, you'll find opportunities to enjoy the landscape and local sights.

The route can be cycled in both directions, and there are plenty of options to stop for a break, take photos, or grab a bite in Herning’s town center or green areas. Herning Rundt isn’t just a cycling route – it’s an invitation to experience the best of West Jutland on two wheels.
