Ruten fra København til Helsingør
– langs Strandvejen

Strandvejen is the road that connects Copenhagen with North Sealand.

This road is iconic, because it will take you along the beautifull coast all the way up to Elsinore. It is a much more picturesque way to see North Sealand, than taking the highway.
