Copenhagen's bikes and smørrebrød, five real Viking ships raised from the fjord at Roskilde, and then Møns Klint, 128 metres of white chalk falling into water that goes turquoise on sunny days, under Scandinavia's first Dark Sky reserve. Denmark's whole range, one unhurried southbound road.

Zealand: Copenhagen to Møn is a 130 km one-way journey (self-drive). It works best as 2–4 days; the plan below is the 3-day version for June, built from 671 verified places, with real road-routed transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
