Day 1 Overnight in Odense
Arrival in Odense and the hotel, located in the middle of the historic HC Andersen quarter with cobbled streets.
If I have already ordered bicycles, they are at the hotel, so I can choose to cycle around the very bicycle-friendly city. In the welcome package, which I receive at the hotel, we give suggestions for trips around the city.
Day 2 Odense - Nyborg 36 km.
I drive east out of Odense and across Funen and hit Nyborg, the Heart of the Kingdom of Denmark, where history and proximity to the sea play such a big role. A hotel with a view awaits you.
Day 3 Nyborg - Svendborg 56 km.
With the sun over the Great Belt, you say goodbye to Nyborg and cycle through the fruit and berry country, East Fyn. You will encounter several castles and manors before north of Svendborg again following the sea towards your hotel, which is located at the water's edge.
Day 4 Svendborg - Ærø - Faaborg 21 km.
You leave Svendborg by water with the Ærø ferry to cycle across Ærø, the largest island in the South Funen archipelago. Along the way, you cycle through villages and rolling countryside, where the sea is never far away. Today's hotel can be a seaside hotel, a charming city hotel or a castle hotel.
Day 5 Faaborg - Helnæs, Assens 32 km.
After a dip in the sea and a delicious breakfast, it's a relatively short day trip through the hilly South Funen countryside towards the next destination, a gem on the trip.
Day 6 Helnæs, Assens - Middelfart 61 km.
You have to say goodbye to your little paradise, but don't worry about the journey today and your destination in Middelfart, with a hotel in an unusually well-located location by the Little Belt, is yet another experience.
Day 7 Middelfart - Odense 60 km.
Before you leave Middelfart and the hotel with the view of bridges and porpoises in the Little Belt, you have a few unique experiences to choose from. What about e.g. on Bridgewalke on the old Little Belt Bridge? The trip to Odense goes through the coastal North Funen summer country and follows forest and disused railway tracks.
Day 8 Departure day
It's departure day, and I haven't made it to the hike or bike ride in Odense at or visited Egeskov castle, so now is the opportunity.
