Travel to Scandinavia - Adventure Tour

Best of Funen

6 days / 5 nights

Dates of operation: Departs from Odense Sundays 10 June to 26 August 2007, total tour length 182 km.

The Funen countryside and its towns and villages paint a harmonious picture. The many living fences unite forests and fields in a picturesque pattern, and small village idylls with their ponds, thatched, half-timbered houses, hollyhocks and old orchards are still everyday sights. The landscape of Funen also has a treasure trove of well-preserved relics from the past.

Day 1 Arrival to Odense. Stay at a centrally located city-hotel in walking distance to all major sights. Visit the house of the fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen and the open-air museum, Den Fynske Landsby, showing centuries of peasant life.

Day 2 - 49 km. Bike South - West to Faaborg, a charming provincial town. A stroll in the cobbled street and a visit to the art museum Faaborg Museum are a must. There are excellent beaches on both sides of the town.

Day 3 - 20 + 10 km A great day of bicycling. Catch the ferry to Søby on the lovely island Ærø. Bike along the beaches to the main town Ærøskøbing. Spend the day there walking in an unspoilt idyll or explore the bicycle friendly island on your own. Take the ferry to Svendborg, another well-kept provincial town with a busy harbor of ferries and veteran sailing ships. After dinner we recommend a small excursion either by bike or ferry to the village Troense, one of the most well-preserved villages in the country.

Day 4 - 49 km Follow the East coast to Nyborg, passing manor houses, castles and even more wide sandy beaches. The landscape offers soft undulating hills with many grand views over the sea and surrounding fruit plantations. Stay at a seaside hotel just outside Nyborg.

Day 5 - 54 km Return to Odense via Kerteminde, a busy fishing town with atmosphere and a famous Viking ship burial site. The route follows the Hindsholm peninsular and the Odense Fjord all the way into town.

Day 6 Departure after breakfast.

$862.00 per person double occupancy

Included: 5 nights very high quality hotels and inns with breakfast and three dinners. Bicycle and very detailed route description in English and German with maps. Luggage transport. Ferry tickets Faaborg - Søby and Ærøskøbing - Svendborg.
