The riding in Hareskoven

Hareskoven is one of the most popular mountain bike forests in the Copenhagen area. The marked trails are graded blue, so they suit beginners and families, while the roots, short climbs and twisty sections still keep more experienced riders busy. There is also a bike wash at the centre for when the forest gets muddy.

When to ride

The centre is open all year. Spring and autumn are lovely in the beech forest, summer brings long light evenings, and winter riding is possible on most days with the right clothing. Check the opening hours on the website before you go, as they change through the week.

Getting to Hareskoven

The easiest way from Copenhagen is the S-train: Hareskov station is about 250 metres from the centre, so you can arrive without a car. By car it takes roughly 20–30 minutes from the city centre, and Copenhagen Airport is about 40 minutes away.

Tips for your ride

• Book bikes and guided tours in advance, especially at weekends and in the school holidays.
• An e-MTB is a good choice if you want to cover more of the trails in a short visit.
• Bring a layer and waterproof jacket – Danish weather changes quickly, even in summer.
• Leave time for a coffee at the café after your ride.
