Stage 1: Næstved to Feddet, 31 km
From Næstved, cycle 31 km via Regional Route 54 to Feddet peninsula. The trip is idyllic, and you’ll pass an array of beautiful forest areas, all of which are inviting places to take a well-deserved break. A great choice for your overnight stay is the family-friendly Feddet Strand Resort, which offers plenty of activities for the children: a jungle course, trampoline land, an indoor pool, the beach and much more.

Stage 3: Feddet to Vordingborg, 30 km
Today’s stage is 30 km in length and takes you from Præstø Fjord to Vordingborg. Follow Route 9 along Præstø Fjord and into Præstø, where you can take a break, have an ice cream and enjoy the idyllic market town or the harbour overlooking Præstø Fjord. If you’re here during the summer holidays, drop by H.C. Andersen World, Denmark’s only theatre park. From Præstø, follow Route 56 towards the lake at Ugledige and Stokkede Skov. Despite the place’s grim history – Galgebakken – it is an ideal spot for enjoying a packed lunch at the shelter, which also has a campfire area. From here, the trip continues towards Vordingborg.
