Local tips

  • Rent a bike early in the day to maximize trail time. The shop opens at 9:00 AM weekdays and 9:00 AM Saturday; arrive early during peak season to ensure equipment availability.
  • Download trail maps before heading out. The shop provides overview maps of main routes, but having digital copies ensures you can navigate the 50-kilometer network confidently.
  • Start with blue-marked trails if unfamiliar with the forest. The terrain is hilly and varied; beginner routes offer excellent flow and scenery without overwhelming technical demands.
  • Plan for a full day experience. The forest's size and trail variety reward extended visits; combine cycling with visits to natural attractions like Madum Lake or Rebild Bakker.
  • Check weather conditions before riding. While trails are rideable year-round, winter and wet conditions can affect trail quality; spring and autumn typically offer optimal riding conditions.

Gateway to Denmark's Premier Mountain Biking Destination

Rold Forest Bike Shop sits at the entrance to one of Denmark's most celebrated outdoor recreation areas. The shop is strategically positioned in Skørping, providing immediate access to Rold Forest, an 80-square-kilometer expanse that encompasses Denmark's largest mountain biking network. With 50 kilometers of meticulously maintained trails, the forest attracts riders from across Scandinavia and beyond. The shop's location makes it the natural starting point for anyone planning to explore this vast terrain, whether arriving for a single afternoon or an extended cycling adventure.

Complete Cycling Services and Equipment

The shop operates as a comprehensive cycling hub, offering bike rentals, professional repairs, and retail sales. Whether you arrive without equipment or need maintenance on your own bike, the knowledgeable staff can accommodate your needs. The rental fleet includes models suitable for all skill levels, from entry-level hardtails for beginners to high-performance full-suspension bikes for technical terrain. The repair workshop handles everything from basic adjustments to complex component work, ensuring that mechanical issues never interrupt your forest experience.

Trails for Every Skill Level

Rold Forest's trail system is renowned for its variety and quality. The terrain features blue-marked beginner routes with gentle flow and minimal technical challenge, red-marked intermediate trails that introduce singletrack and moderate elevation gain, and black-marked expert routes with extreme technical sections and significant climbing. The famous "Den Store Rold Skov Rute" (The Great Rold Forest Route) is a blue trail with optional red and black sections, allowing riders to customize their experience. The "24-timers Ruten" (24-Hour Route) combines all difficulty levels and is named after the annual Rold24Race mountain bike competition. A dedicated downhill track and practice area for technique refinement round out the options.

Natural Beauty and Forest Character

Beyond the trails, Rold Forest captivates visitors with its hilly landscape, diverse woodland composition, and rich natural heritage. The forest consists of multiple named woodlands including Hesselholt, Nørreskov, and Nørlund Skov, each with distinct character. Natural springs with year-round temperatures of 7.5 degrees Celsius support unique flora and fauna, including ice age relics. Popular natural attractions within the forest include Madum Lake for swimming, Rebild Bakker with its dramatic topography, and Troldeskoven, known for rare orchids. The combination of challenging trails and pristine natural surroundings creates an immersive outdoor experience.

Access and Practical Considerations

The shop operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, closed Sundays. The location benefits from abundant parking facilities throughout the forest area. Riders should note that biking is restricted to designated paths and forest roads; ancient monuments, burial mounds, and private forest areas have specific access limitations. The public forest areas managed by Naturstyrelsen Himmerland permit 24-hour access, while privately owned sections (75% of the forest) allow access only between 6:00 AM and dusk on designated routes.
