You start our bike tour in Odense on the beautiful island of Fyn in the heart of the Danish Baltic Sea and cycle to Aarhus, the center of Jutland and one of the largest cities in Denmark. The island of Fyn is called the Garden of Denmark because of its lush nature. See for yourself as you cycle through the beautiful countryside and discover here and there some of the many stately homes and castles for which the island is also famous. In Middelfart you will meet the Little Belt. The strait between Jutland and Fyn is the habitat of many porpoises, which you can spot from the shore or during a boat trip with a little luck. Our bike tour from Odense to Aarhus takes you mostly not far from the east coast of Jutland through small historic harbor towns that will surprise you with modern architecture. Modern, cultural and culinary extremely diverse – this is how your destination Aarhus presents itself. As you can see, nature and culture are close together on our bike tour from Odense to Aarhus and offer you a cycling experience that you will remember for a long time to come.

Day 1: Individual arrival in Odense

Your bike tour from Odense to Aarhus starts on the island of Fyn. After your arrival at the hotel, grab your bike and explore Denmark's third largest city in a relaxed way. Odense's most famous son is the writer Hans Christian Andersen. Known worldwide for his fairy tales, you can learn more about him at many places in the city, such as his birthplace, the H. C. Andersen Hus. If you are drawn to the water, a boat trip on the Odense Å is ideal to get to know Odense from another side.

Day 2: Odense - Middelfart, approx. 60 / 65 km

Today you will be heading to the Little Belt, the strait between Fyn and the Danish mainland. On Cycle Route 6 you will experience the lush nature and idyllic landscape of Fyn, which rightly earned the island the name Garden of Denmark. Once in Middelfart, it's worth taking an extended tour of the town. The Henner Friisers Hus is considered one of the most beautiful half-timbered houses in Denmark. Or how about a boat trip across the Little Belt? It is one of the whale-richest waters in the world and home to many porpoises.

Day 3: Middelfart - Vejle, approx. 55 km

Over the Lillebæltsbroen you leave Middelfart and reach the coast of Jutland. A first stop is worthwhile in Fredericia. The city center, laid out in a checkerboard pattern, is surrounded by a historic rampart where you can visit old cannons and guard buildings. The old landmark of Vejle, your destination for today, is the windmill located in the middle of the city, visible from many places in the city. New, on the other hand, is the wave-shaped Bølgen housing complex by the harbor. It has won several awards and is a real eye-catcher.

Day 4: Vejle - Horsens, approx. 45 km

With the bridge over Vejle Fjord in view, the bike tour from Odense to Aarhus first takes you along the coast. Inland it goes on partly hilly cycle paths mainly through forests. In Horsens you have the opportunity to visit the former state prison. It has been converted into a museum and cultural site that is known beyond the region. The most famous son of the town is Vitus Bering. He proved in the 18th century that Asia is not connected with North America. Near the railroad station a small park commemorates the namesake of the Bering Strait.

Day 5: Horsens - Norsminde / Odder, approx. 50 / 60 km

Along the Horsens Fjord you will cycle almost without climbing to Hou, a small harbour town. On the way you will be offered again and again fantastic views of the Baltic Sea and one or the other beach awaits you for a longer break. In Odder you will discover the historic water and steam mill as well as the Odder Sognekirke, one of the oldest churches in Denmark. In Norsminde, a walk to the small harbour including a tasting of freshly smoked fish is worthwhile. You will spend the night in Odder or Norsminde.
