Signage and guidance

Signposting for national route 9 (here with regional routes 54 and 56)

The long-distance cycle path is laid out in such a way that you are mainly guided on separate cycle paths away from the streets or side streets with very little traffic.

The signposting of the cycle path is divided into two sections:

• In Germany, the cycle path is signposted with blue, white and red symbols with the label Radweg Berlin – Copenhagen .
• In Denmark the cycle path is congruent with national route 9 and is therefore also signposted after it.
