Day 1 – Malmö – Landskrona – Helsingborg – Brunnby

My bike tour started today on Wednesday, 2025-06-25. I woke up early in the morning at 5:30, packed my stuff and  had some great breakfast. The Copenhagen Central Station was some 300 meters away. The ticket price from Copenhagen to Malmö was a bit cheaper (99 DKK for ticket and 50 DKK for bike ticket, ca. 20 EUR total) than the other way around.

The weather was mixed and windy at 18 °C. The first half of the day was windy and raining. Later during the afternoon, the weather got much better – lots of sunshine and no clouds. It was windy along the coastline, less windy towards main land.

Sydkustleden – Cycle Route No. 3

From Malmö C, I followed the route No. 3 – Sydkustleden to Helsingborg. I have visited cities of Landskrona and Helsingborg. In Helsingborg, the route was continued on Kattegatleden Cycle Route No. 1 to Göteborg.

I kept cycling until late in the evening until tiredness set in and I had to find a place to rest. After looking for a camp spot, I found a shelter few kilometers behind Brunnby where I slept over night. Great place, it was quiet and I really enjoyed it.
