Cycling routes

From Kulturøen Cycle routes twist and turns along the strait, into Staurby Forest and over the hills in Middelfart. Here, the distance between coast and forest, views and calm, town and nature is short. The routes will show you the town from within and take you where the coast takes over.

Experience Middelfart and the hinterland on two wheels

Your bike is parked by the coast, behind you is Staurby Forest and the New Lillebælts Bridge. In Middelfart the landscape is so diverse that cycling is a natural way of experiencing all the city has to offer. You are close enough to the strait to feel the wind, close enough to the forest to hear the birds and the leaves in the wind and you can stop exactly where something catches your eye.

Funen is one of Northern Europe's best cycling destinations and Middelfart is connecting the strings. From here the cycling routes follow the coast, through forests and over hills with views of the strait. The short Clover Paths lead you through the towns historical neighborhoods down to the harbor. The longer routes open up the landscape of Funen with views of Fredericia and Fænø and the possibility of spotting porpoises.

Along the routes you will find Bike Friends spots where you can fill your water bottle, borrow a pump or get help if you have a flat tire.
