Day 1 Overnight in Odense

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 beach hotel at the water's edge, a charming city hotel or a castle hotel.
Day 5 Faaborg - Helnæs, Assens 32 km.
After a dip in the harbor bath and breakfast on the square in Faaborg, it's a relatively short day trip through the hilly South Funen countryside towards the next destination, a gem on the trip.

Day 7 Middelfart - Odense 60 km.
Before you leave Middelfart and the hotel with a view of two bridges and porpoises in the Little Belt, you have a few unique experiences to choose from. What about e.g. to Bridgewalk 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.
