About Samsø
The island and the surrounding sea invite to a wonderful mix of deep relaxation in tranquil surroundings and super holiday activities.
The beaches vary from wide child-friendly beaches with shallow water, over to the slightly deeper, and in some places more rocky beaches. Here, on the other hand, there are often good fishing opportunities. Everywhere the water is clear and with the long coastline of 120 km it means that the beaches are never crowded.
Despite a size of just 114 km2, there is still on this small area an indescribably beautiful and completely varied nature, which offers many experiences and opportunities. The landscape and the short distances make it ideal for example for bike vacations.

Get around on the iron horse
Take you bike on the ferry to Samsø
or rent one on the island
Samsø is ideal to see from the bicycle saddle. There are good cycle paths all the way from the capital Tranebjerg to Nordby. With as many as 22 villages around the island, it is never far to the next village and in many of them it is possible to get a refreshment.
Most of the island is relatively flat, so the altitude meters will not knock you out. The only place the altitude is really challenged is up to the island’s highest point Ballebjerg. But the “mountain” is worth the trip, with great views and wonderful walks in the area.
VisitSamsø has a lot of inspiration to get around by bike on Samsø.
