Day 2: Odense to Nyborg. Ca. 36 km

Today you will be cycling east out of Odense and across Fyn and hit Nyborg, the Heart of the Kingdom of Denmark, where history and proximity to the sea play such a big role.


Along the way you will meet, among other things, The Romantic Garden, the unique Flødebolle tree and one of Fyn's most characteristic and unique microbreweries.

Tåsinge is a beautiful island that, in addition to Valdemar's castle, contains the love story of Elvira Madigan and Sixten Sparre and the cozy skipper's town, Troense. Visiting an island in the South Funen Archipelago is also a wonderful, slow experience.
