The cycle routes wind their way through the famous Fyn landscape, which was carved out by ice age glaciers around 15,000 years ago. When the ice began to melt 8–10,000 years ago, huge volumes of water flowed into the seas, leaving behind gently undulating countryside and, in particular, the “flooded landscape” of the South Fyn Archipelago.
To the north lie the flat stretches of heathland, while the “big” hills and woods are to be found in the southern parts of the island, with the gentle hills of Central Fyn nestling in between. Even though distances are short, the experiences vary widely: you can start the day riding between grand country estates with their alleys, woodland and fields, and finish up cycling along twisting country lanes bordered by lilac hedges, admiring magnificent views, or simply relaxing in the shade of a giant oak.
