Vertical rise, cars and Bridgewalking on the Little Belt Bridge are a small selection of the things you can experience on the stage between Assens and Middelfart.
Take a closer look at the stage on the map below. Zoom in and find manor houses, Bike Stations and Bike Friends near the route.

The stage is 87 km and quite hilly - especially the stretch between Håre and Assens contains several good climbs especially around Frøbjerg. The stage is mainly paved road.
Experiences on the route
The stage is the longest on The Castle Route, and is called The King Stage. Luckily, there are plenty of spots along the way to rest your legs.
For example, you can take a dip at Føns Strand, relax in the park around Krengerup Gods, enjoy the area by the marina in Middelfart or grab a lunch on the terrace at Glamsbjerg Hus.
If you book an appointment in advance, you can get a tour of Strøjer's unique collection of famous cars.
If you have strong legs, take a trip to Frøbjerg Bavnehøj - Funen's highest point!
