Explore South Fyn on Two Wheels
The South Fyn Archipelago is a dream destination for a two-wheeled vacation, as it’s easy to explore even the remotest parts of the region on bike.
Nice Cycling Routes
South Fyn has lots of cycling routes marked with signs along the way. The exciting and diverse terrain offers flat stretches as well as hilly country roads through beautiful surroundings.
The Baltic Sea Route
If you are looking for a challenge, then try the Baltic Sea Route – or N8, as it says on the signs. The 820 km cycling route traversing southern Denmark is easy to follow due to the signage. The route takes you past four market towns around the South Fyn Archipelago – Ærøskøbing, Rudkøbing, Svendborg, and Faaborg, each with a charming townscape of half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, interesting shops, cosy cafés, nice restaurants, and active harbours.
The Manor House Route
In spring 2022, Fyn will get a new bicycle route called The Manor House Route. Fyn has a total of 123 castles and manors, and the new route winds its way across the whole island, taking you past 50 estates, half of which are located on South Fyn. Feel free to divide the 665 km route into shorter trips or take a detour along the way.
True Biking Hospitality
The people of South Fyn wants to show hospitality towards visiting cyclists. Therefore, more than 120 Bike Friends service stations have been set up across South Fyn, with bicycle pumps, puncture repair kits, and drinking water. Some of the stations also have a toilet. Look for the Bike Friends sticker along the way.
There are lots of bike rental options across the archipelago. In the larger towns, there are several places to rent a bike –some of them will even deliver it to you and pick it up again when you’re done using it. On a number of the smaller islands, locals will make sure the bikes are ready for you when you arrive.
