Danish Stages
Denmark: A journey through innovation and sustainability
The igus:bike worldtour has arrived in Denmark – a country where cycling culture meets modern architecture, and where the tranquility of nature blends with the dynamism of the city. This journey takes us through Denmark’s varied landscapes on igus bike – a bicycle made entirely from recycled plastic that requires no lubrication or maintenance.
We start our tour at igus’ Danish office in Vejle, where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. From here, we cycle to Vejle Harbor to admire the modern architecture, including the impressive Fjordenhus, which rises directly from the water. Our route then takes us through the historic **Dyrehave**, where undulating forest trails and wildlife create an idyllic setting for the trip.
Our journey continues to one of Denmark’s most iconic places: Legoland in Billund. Here, in a world of Lego bricks, we experience how creativity and imagination can create fantastic worlds. It is the perfect example of how small components can form a large, impressive whole – just like the recycled materials that make up our igus:bike.
Back in Vejle, we take a final trip past the city’s architectural landmark, Bølgen. The wave-shaped buildings stand as a symbol of Vejle’s modern urban development and give us the perfect view of the water before we continue our journey.
Denmark, and especially Vejle and Billund, is the ideal place to test the strength of igus:bike in everyday life. With beautiful landscapes, modern urban environments, and bike-friendly roads, Denmark proves that sustainable transport is the way forward.
