TOUR DESCRIPTION:
Island
hopping - get to know 10 of the 143 inhabited Danish isles in only 11
days!
An excellent opportunity to bike through the less
known areas of Southern Denmark. Enjoy traveling with the small ferries-
which help keep life going on some of the islands en route. The
accommodations are mostly modern hotels, offering excellent facilities and
good location.
Day 1 SVENDBORG
Arrive in Svendborg, a provincial town on Southern Funen. Spend the
afternoon sailing the veteran ship "Helge" or enjoying the busy shopping
zone just out side the hotel door. The night is spent at a centrally
located city hotel in Svendborg.
Day
2 SVENDBORG-NYBORG – 28 miles
Ride along the coast of the Great Belt to Nyborg. The route passes the
quaint fishing hamlet Lundeborg and several manor houses. The hotel is
located on the beach in the outskirts of Nyborg.
Dinner.
Day 3 NYBORG-SLAGELSE
– 21 miles
In Nyborg a bus and trailer will take care of transport across
the Great Belt Bridge. Unfortunately it is not allowed to bike on the 19
km long bridge. On the island Sealand the route will pass the impressive
Viking fortress Trelleborg and the beaches North of Korsør. The night is
spent at a country hotel near Slagelse. Dinner.
Day 4
SLAGELSE-NÆSTVED – 36 miles
A beautiful day with lots of opportunities for a swim or having a rest
enjoying the scenery and three very different manor houses and castles on
the way. The country town of Skælskør is a good halfway stop. The night is
spent in a lovely hotel in the medieval city center of Næstved. Dinner.
Day 5 NÆSTVED-STEGE –
28 miles
The day starts with a train ride to Vordingborg (not included). Continue
by bike through the rolling countryside to the island Møn. The hotel for
two nights is located in the country, just outside the main town Stege.
Dinner.
Day 6 STEGE
A day off to explore this delightful island. We suggest a day excursion to
the famous cliffs Møns Klint or merely take a short ride through some of
the nearby villages with their thatched roofed houses. Dinner.
Day 7 STEGE- NYKØBING
– 35 miles
A lovely day of bicycling! First across the embankment to the island of
Bogø. Catch the picturesque little ferry to the island of Falster. The
route will take you on a wonderful ride to the country town Stubbekøbing
and later through the grounds of the manor house Korselitse before getting
to the hotel in Nykøbing.
Dinner.
Day 8 NYKØBING-MARIBO
– 25 miles
The next island on the way is Lolland. The main attraction of the day is
the lovely old town Nysted and the Aalholm castle. A quiet day of
bicycling in flat terrain. Your hotel for two nights is located in Maribo
on the middle of the island. Dinner.
Day 9 MARIBO
We have planned an optional day excursion visiting two more islands, the
idyllic Askø and the very small Lillø. Dinner.
Day 10
MARIBO-SVENDBORG – 30 miles
By train to Nakskov (not included) from where the route continues to the
ferry port at Tårs. After relaxing on board it is time to explore one of
the nicest islands on the tour, Langeland. The countryside is ideal for
bicycling. Do take a stroll down the cobbled streets of the main town
Rudkøbing before crossing the bridge, and next island Siø, to go the
quaint island Taasinge. The picturesque town Troense and its castle
Valdemar Slot are a must. Return to the hotel in Svendborg.
