Island hopping - get to know 10 of the 143 inhabited Danish isles in only 10 days! This is an excellent opportunity to cycle through the lesser-known areas of Southern Denmark with the help of small ferries.

Starting at Svendborg, a provincial town on Southern Funen, there are options to spend time sailing the veteran ship "Helge" or enjoy shopping. Cycling commences along the coast of the Great Belt to Nyborg with the opportunity to visit the quaint fishing hamlet of Lundeborg. On the island Sealand the route passes the impressive Viking fortress Trelleborg and the beaches North of Korsør providing wonderful opportunities for a swim or just enjoying the scenery with three very different manor houses and castles on the way. The castle Holsteinsborg is worth a visit on the way to an overnight stop in a lovely hotel in the medieval city centre of Næstved. The next day starts with a train ride to Vordingborg and then continuing 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. A rest day is included here to explore this delightful island, with the possibility of 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. Then you will cross an embankment to the island of Bogø from where you 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. The next island on the way is Lolland, with the main attractions of the day being the lovely old town Nysted and the Aalholm castle. Then it’s 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. You can stroll down the cobbled streets of the main town Rudkøbing before crossing the bridge to the islands of Siø and the quaint island Taasinge. The picturesque town Troense and its castle Valdemar Slot are a must before returning to Svendborg.
