Today, we cycled 74 km and climbed 255 H\u00f6henmeter across three islands, from picturesque Guldborg to the cliffs of R\u00f8dvig.<\/p>\n\n

We set off in the morning from the island of Lolland, which we left right after Guldborg. On Falster, a rather monotonous but well-maintained bike path along the country road awaited us. Here, Ainhoa (on \u201cBeast\u201d) really had to battle the wind as our pacemaker. The island was pretty quiet, and there wasn\u2019t a single bakery along the route. <\/p>\n\n

After just 20 km, we left Falster behind us and drove across the Queen Margrethe II Bridge, which opened in 2026 and was so new that some of the railroad tracks were still being laid\u2026Just above the bridge passage for recreational boating (clearance height 26 m), we stopped briefly so Merle could look at the boats (and buoys, such as the red-and-white vertically striped leading buoy with a red ball as its top mark), while Ainhoa had to stand there freezing. <\/p>\n\n

We left the 4-km-long bridge over the Storstr\u00f8m and headed toward Vordingborg on Sj\u00e6lland, where we treated ourselves to a proper brunch (given the time of day). We really liked Vordingborg; the combination of the charming Danish old town and its proximity to the sea, in particular, gave us that vacation feeling. <\/p>\n\n

Shortly after passing Vordingborg, however, we almost had to turn back: Merle\u2019s rear tire had lost air, and when we tried to pump it up again in the parking lot of the Danish Netto (\ud83d\udc15), all the air escaped. Vordingborg was now already 5 km behind us, and the next bike shop wouldn\u2019t have been until Pr\u00e6st\u00f8, 10 km away. Without hesitation, we rang the doorbell of a Danish man who had several bikes parked in front of his house. Luckily, the man was home and was able to help us out with a bike pump. So today we also got to interact with the locals! <\/p>\n\n

We continued on through rolling fields, occasionally passing through beautiful, shady stretches of forest. We then chose the little town of Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 for our second longer break, where Ainhoa adjusted her tire pressure, and we polished off a few snacks at the very sheltered harbor. <\/p>\n\n

From Pr\u00e6st\u00f8, we rode along what had been the most beautiful stretch of the trip so far, following the coastline. First along the so-called Pr\u00e6st\u00f8 Fjord, an inlet with the character of an inland lake, and finally along Faxe Bugt. We were particularly taken with the fine sandy beach (and a Labrador playing in the water), but since today\u2019s destination was all the way in the east of the island of Sj\u00e6lland, we still had to pedal a little further. <\/p>\n\n
