Itinerary
Day 1 (Sunday):
Stay at a centrally located city-hotel within walking distance to all major sights. Visit the house of the fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen and the open-air museum, Den Fynske Landsby, showing centuries of peasant life.
Day 2 (monday):
Bike southwest to Faaborg, a charming provincial town. A stroll in the cobbled street and a visit to the Faaborg art museum are a must. There are excellent beaches on both sides of the town. 30 miles.
Day 3 (tuesday):
Catch the ferry to Søby on the lovely island Ærø. Bike along the beaches to the main town Ærøskøbing. Spend the day there walking in an unspoilt idyll or explore the bicycle friendly island on your own. Take the ferry to Svendborg, another well-kept provincial town with a busy harbour of ferries and veteran sailing ships. After dinner we recommend a small excursion either by bike or ferry to the village Troense, one of the most well preserved villages in the country. 18 miles.
Day 4 (wednesday):
Follow the east coast to Nyborg, passing manor houses, castles and even more wide sandy beaches. The landscape offers soft undulating hills with many grand views over the sea and surrounding fruit plantations. Stay at a seaside hotel just outside Nyborg. 30 miles.
Day 5 (thursday):
Return to Odense via Kerteminde, a busy fishing town with atmosphere and a famous Viking ship burial site. The route follows the Hindsholm peninsular and the Odense Fjord all the way into town. 34 miles.
Day 6 (friday):
Departure from Odense after breakfast.
