Signs: All the national cycle routes are marked with signs, so basically you can just follow them. But you’ll probably find some additional tools useful. Directions are not only about finding your way en route, but also finding a nice place for a break, shopping and accommodation along the way – and not least planning the rest of today’s or tomorrow’s stage.
Digital tools: There are countless digital tools you can use to find your way and the points of interest you want to visit. All routes here at ruter.dk can be downloaded as GPX files for apps and GPSs.
Apps: At Dansk Cykelturisme, we prefer Osmand and Naviki for route navigation. Both draw data from the user-generated map OpenStreetMap with very large coverage in Denmark, and both are free in the basic version. Naviki is the easiest one to use, but Osmand has far more configuration options.
GPS: You can use a dedicated cycling GPS or an overall outdoor GPS.
Print: Many of us still swear by a printed cycle map. It never runs out of power and provides a good overview of the area you are passing through or planning to visit. If it is water-resistant, it can even be used as a sou’wester.
