Cycling in the Viborg Region

If you enjoy cycling, the Viborg area offers a wide range of cycling routes with varying levels of difficulty. Whether you're looking for challenging trails through uneven terrain or prefer a quiet, relaxing ride where you can enjoy nature at your own pace, there's something for everyone.

Among the easier routes are three former railway lines that have been transformed into cycle paths with a solid, even surface — ideal for cycling without steep climbs or descents. These scenic routes each have their own unique character:

• The Alhedestien, heading towards Herning

• The Nørreåstien, following the Nørreå Stream towards Randers

• The Himmerlandsstien, which runs north through the former fishing village of Hjarbæk and along Hjarbæk Fjord towards Løgstør

All three routes start in Viborg, each heading in a different direction. Along the way, you will find shelters and rest areas where you can take a break and enjoy your packed lunch.

The Viborg area also offers many more excellent cycling opportunities — including beautiful routes along the Gudenå River.
