Day 1 

Arrival in Middelfart. If you arrive early, consider visiting the Clay Ceramics Museum, beautifully situated by the Little Belt. Another option is bridge-walking on the old Little Belt Bridge – a unique experience.

Day 2 

Middelfart – Vejle (approx. 50 km)

If you didn’t visit the Little Belt Bridge yesterday, you’ll definitely do it today, as you cross the bridge heading towards Jutland. The first stop is Fredericia, where the historic fortifications with beautiful paths and viewpoints is well worth a visit.
The route continues along National Cycle Route No. 5 
towards Vejle, where you’ll encounter the more undulating 
terrain as you approach the picturesque Vejle Fjord.
Vejle means ”ford” and refers to the crossing between the fjord and the river that people have used for hundreds of years, and the name later became the name of the exciting town, which is today’s destination.

Day 3 

Vejle – Horsens (approx. 38 km)

The northern side of Vejle Fjord offers both beautiful views and lovely nature. You also pass ”Bølgen” – iconic architecture that connects the city with the fjord. Maybe bring your swimwear and take a dip at Tirsbæk Beach just outside of Vejle.  
After Vejle Fjord, the journey heads north along regional route 53. You’ll pass through more small villages, where the local grocery store is a good opportunity to stock up on supplies.
Just before Horsens Fjord, you’ll pass by Boller Castle, with a history dating back to 1350. From here, you follow the Boller Trail into Horsens, an interesting city with a long industrial history – beautifully situated at the bottom of Horsens Fjord.

Day 4 

Horsens (optional excursion approx. 52 km) 

Enjoy the day in Horsens, where you can visit ”Fængslet”, Europe’s largest prison museum, and the Industrial Museum, which tells the story of the city’s industrial past.
If you prefer a day of cycling, a trip around Horsens Fjord is a great option. If you ride south of the fjord, you’ll reach the small, charming town of Snaptun. The bike ferry via Hjarnø to Alrø let’s you return north of the fjord back to Horsens.

Day 5 

Horsens – Vejle (approx. 50 km)

Today you truly enter Viking land. Denmark’s ancient royal city, Jelling, lies along the route, and it’s worth setting aside plenty of time here.
The large Jelling Stone is called ”Denmark’s baptismal 
certificate.” Over a thousand years ago, Harald Bluetooth 
inscribed here that he united Denmark into a kingdom – and made the Danes Christians. Denmark’s National Museum has a very exciting Viking exhibition in Jelling that you should 
definitely visit.
Your day finishes in Vejle, so if you did not explore all of this great city the other day, you now have another possibility.

Day 6 

Vejle – Kolding (approx. 55 km) 

The day starts with a ride along the Bindeballe Trail – a former railway that is now a bike path leading through the impressive Vejle River Valley. Remember to stop at Ravning Station, which is now a museum. Here you can also see where the Ravning Bridge crossed the river a thousand years ago. A fantastic structure that still marks the landscape.
Bindeballe Købmandsgård is a truly cozy, old-fashioned merchant’s yard, perfect for a refreshment.
You now climb up the Vejle River Valley and encounter the Egtved Girl’s Grave. This grave is one of Europe’s finest Bronze Age finds – more exciting history to explore.
The day ends in Kolding – the tour’s third major town at the bottom of a fjord.

Day 7 

Kolding – Middelfart (approx. 30 km) 

A fascinating place to start the day is Koldinghus – a castle over 750 years old, which for centuries was one of the country’s most important royal castles. Today the building is spectacularly restored and part of the Royal Collection.
On the way to Middelfart, you visit Skærbæk, idyllically
located by Kolding Fjord.
Later it’s time to cross the old Little Belt Bridge again, and immediately after, you turn into Hindsgavl Deer Park, where you can see herds of fallow and red deer before reaching the day’s destination.

Day 8

Departure after an eventful cycling holiday – unless you choose to extend your stay, perhaps with a few days in Odense or Copenhagen.
