Denmark Bike Tour

Island hopping - get to know 10 of the 143 inhabited Danish isles in only 10 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.

Itinerary

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.

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.

37 miles

In Nyborg a train 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 take you along the cost and beaches to Skælskør and further on to the medieval city centre of Næstved.

28 miles

The day starts with a train ride to Vordingborg. 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.

25 miles

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

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.

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.

15 miles

We have planned an optional day excursion visiting two more islands, the idyllic Askø and the very small Lillø.

30 miles

By train to Nakskov 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.

Departure after breakfast.
