Round trip on Funen

Odense, the thirs larges city in Denmark, is the birthplace of the famous poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen. He is commemorated at every turn in the city, which is over 1000 years old. The Sankt Knuds Kirke in the center reflects the prosperity of the city in the Middle Ages and is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Denmark.

Today you cycle from Odense to Fåborg along the strait between Funen and South Jutland, which is known for the porpoises that live there. Arrived in Fåborg, a visit to the bell tower is worthwhile, the town`s landmark.

Almost close to the coast you cycle to Svendborg, a traditional seafaring town. Visit Anne Hvides Gård, the oldest building in Svenborg. Or how about an evening stroll alon the harbour? At Sejlskibsbroen, old wooden boats and sailing ships are anchored and exude a maritime atmosphere.
