Day 1 

Arrive on your own to Odense and prepare for a relaxing and exiting tour. If you have booked a rental bike you will find it at the hotel. Tonight you stay in Odense. 

Day 2 

Odense – Faaborg (approx. 55 kms)

Odense is the capital of Fyn – and also well known as the birthplace of author Hans Christian Andersen. It is worth to have a stroll around the city. From urban environment out into rural landscape on minor roads, starting to experience the idyllic scenery of Denmark’s garden.
A great place for lunch is the idyllic Brobyværk Kro (Brobyværk Inn) before you pedal into “The Alps of Fyn” – an undulating landscape from where you start overlooking the archipelago of Southern Fyn, where you might spot a local ferry or the sail of an old wooden ship. Your destination is the old harbour town of Faaborg which offers small streets to stroll and old houses to create a very specific atmosphere.

Day 3 

Faaborg

Today you can chose to enjoy the special atmosphere of seamanship there always is in harbour towns with a century long tradition of sailing – or you can take a ferry to one of the isles in the archipelago outside Faaborg: Bjørnø, Lyø and Avernakø. Each of these has got its own ambience and the small populations of each island live their lives in close relation to nature and neighbours.
Look forward to another night in Faaborg – which by the way offers some really nice dining possibilities.

Day 4 

Faaborg – Ærø (Aeroe) – Svendborg (approx. 25 kms) 

Today it’s your turn to literally experience the archipelago: you start of with the ferry from Faaborg to the island of Ærø (Aeroe). The trip lasts one hour and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while arriving “the proper way” to a real island: by boat. Landing harbour on Ærø is Søby (Soeby) from where you follow small roads to the fascinating town of Ærøskøbing (Aeroeskoebing). Old houses and cobble stoned streets awaits you – along with an interesting history. Remember your camera! From Ærøskøbing you take another ferry back to Fyn and arrives at Svendborg, where you stay 2 nights. An alternative to the ferries and the visit to Ærø is to bike directly from Faaborg to Svendborg – approx. the same distance, but saving the time and costs of the ferries. 

Day 5 

Svendborg 

Svendborg is the maritime centre of Fyn. Just next to the quay of the ferry from Ærø is “Træskibsbroen” (the wooden ships bridge), where you can be lucky to see a very fine collection of old wooden ships. The city itself offers shopping, attractions, restaurants – and of course a variety of bars, as it is still a lively seaman’s town. You might also take a daytrip in the surroundings – and maybe visit the castle Egeskov, hosting a fine collection of old cars and aeroplanes. 

Day 6 

Svendborg – Nyborg (approx. 45 kms) 

From Svendborg and north the water on your right hand changes it’s name to Storebælt (Great Belt). Often you see small stalls along the route selling local fruits and vegetables. Again you pass impressing old manor houses – and arriving in Nyborg you see the Storebæltsbroen (Great Belt Bridge) – not long ago the longest spanning bridge in the world. Nyborg is your goal for today. 

Day 7 

Nyborg – Odense (approx. 50 kms) 

From Nyborg you head north to the picturesque town Kerteminde. A good choice could be to visit the Fjord & Bælt-center (“Fiord and Belt Centre”) – or maybe have an ice cream at the harbour – before you head back for Odense, enjoying even more beautiful scenery, timbered houses and lovely gardens on the way. 

Day 8 

Time to travel home – or maybe to extend your holiday with a day or two extra in Odense – or maybe in Copenhagen.
