The starting point of your family cycling tour on Funen is Svendborg. After checking in at the hotel, grab your bike and explore Funen's second largest city. Pretty half-timbered houses and winding alleys characterise the townscape. The Anne Hvides Gård is particularly eyecatching. It is the oldest house in town. Visit the Sejlskibsbroen by the harbour. The pier harbors many beautifully preserved sailing ships and old wooden boats. If you want to learn more about Northern Europe's wildlife, Naturama is the place to visit. The museum has many exhibits about all sorts of different animals.

The first trip of your family cycling tour on Funen will take you towards Rantzausminde. Further inland you pass the Hvidkilde Sø and the Egeskover Mølle, a 19th century Dutch mill. Today's destination, Egeskov Slot, is one of the most beautiful moated castles in Europe. It was built on a foundation of countless oak trunks in the middle of a lake back in the 16th century. During your visit (included) you will get to see the magnificent rooms and many other curiosities. Go for a walk through the vast and enchanting park before you cycle back to Svendborg.

Today you take the ferry (included) through the South Funen Archipelago. Your first destination is Ærøskøbing, the oldest town on the island. Here you can decide if you want to cycle around the entire island, or if you want to visit only the eastern or western half of the island. Whichever route you choose, you will get to see one of Denmark's most beautiful regions. Whether you visit the seafaring town of Marstal, the cliffs of Voderup Klint, the hunting lodge Søbygaard, the lighthouse at Skjoldnæs, or the fairytale town Ærøskøbing - a trip to Ærø is perfect for a relaxing cycling day. After your relaxing day on Ærø the ferry (included) will take you back to Svendborg.

Your first destination today is the island of Skarø. You will arrive there soon after boarding the ferry (included). The island is almost 2 km² in size, and is a natural paradise. Leave your bike near the ferry and go for a walk across the island, which is characterised by beach meadows, dunes and sandy reefs. The island of Drejø is your next destination. Cycle along the steep coast on the western side of the island, Bækskilde beach, and the old harbour on the northern side of the island and enjoy the idyllic landscape surrounding you. After your trip you return to Svendborg by ferry.

Enjoy the view of the islands Thurø and Langeland while you cycle along the coast and towards Lundeborg. On your way there, you should consider stopping at Elsehoved's fine sandy beach. Soon you will arrive in Lundeborg. The Packhaus is a half-timbered warehouse from the 19th century and is the landmark of the town. Back on your bike you cycle to the island of Tåsinge. Not far from the sailing town Troense you arrive at the impressive Valdemars Slot, which is located right by the sea. Once built for the king's son Valdemar, it now houses a museum. How about a picnic in the castle park before returning to Svendborg?

Your family cycling tour on Funen comes to an end after breakfast. We would gladly extend your stay in Svendborg if you wish to stay a little longer.
