Day 2 ODENSE - SVENDBORG - 36 miles
Bike out of Odense on bike paths and quiet roads. On your way south visit
the unique medieval castle, Egeskov, built on thousands of oak wood trunks
in the middle of a lake. On to Svendborg - perhaps the most attractive
country town in Denmark. Two nights are spent here in the Hotel Svendborg.
Day 3 SVENDBORG
- 10 miles
Day off in Svendborg. We suggest a roundtrip on the neighboring
island Taasinge and the old poetic village of Troense on the local ferry.
Or, a tour along the beaches just east of Svendborg.
Day 4 SVENDBORG -
AEROSKOBING - 38 miles
The route continues through Valdemars Slot, a castle dating back to the
baroque period, and then through the fabled woods to Nørreskoven,
over the bridge to Rudkøbing and on to
Langeland. Quiet lanes and byways take you on a
short tour of the island before heading back to Rudkøbing to board the
ferry to Marstal on the island of Æerø. Two overnight stays in the old
part of the romantic town Æerøkøbing.
Day 5 AEROSKOBING
Day off in Ærøskøbing. Why not spend the day exploring the many
cobblestone streets with quaint shops and well preserved half-timbered
houses? Or how about a swim at the beaches surrounding Ærøskøbing?
Day 6 AEROSKOBING -
FAABORG- 27 miles
From Ærøskøbing over the hills to Søby. Magnificent view! Then by ferry to
Faaborg on Funen with its old town feel and narrow cobbled streets.
Overnight at Hotel Faaborg Fjord overlooking the sea. You can spend the
day sightseeing in town, riding into the hills or sailing in the
Archipelago. A must in Faaborg is the small art museum
and its famous paintings from the beginning of the century.
