Route Details

A [Cycle Super Highway](http://www.supercykelstier.dk/concept) is a cycle highway, where the commuters’ needs have been given the highest priority. This route is not constructed aiming at being a Cycle Super Highway but it will feel like such, as you can ride along with very few stop. Even going through Randers, you just need to pass one intersection with traffic light.

North of Randers, it is all pavement except a few hundred meters. Leaving Randers going south, it is at current all well compressed fine gravel, but it has been decided to pave this part too.

With pavement on the route from Randers to Langå, it will become an exceptionel commuting route isolated from traffic in beatiful nature along the only river in Denmark and taking you straight into city center.
