When my family was visiting in June 2014, I squeeeezed in an overnight trip to the island of Ærø to the south of our larger island, Fyn. It's a very small island and very well preserved from the 1600s with very few cars. So I wanted to get my family down there to spend the night in Pension Vestergade 44, a beautiful bed and breakfast with an amazing garden and take them biking into the countryside on the bike highway system.
It was a beautiful train ride down to Svendborg to catch the ferry for an hour and a half ride through the small islands - such a lovely sunny day. And we could just walk a block or two off the ferry right to the front door of our bed and breakfast where we had some cookies and tea before renting our bikes for the next day and a half.
It was just a real nice time. Personally, I'd say that I enjoy my time more on vacation in the Copenhagen area (for the Louisiana and Design museums, the canal tours, the pretty-citiness), but for a relaxing trip through little villages and out in the countryside and off on the tiny islands, it was a great choice and a great "away from it all" kind of place.
And we found this neolithic tomb on our ride one day so #winning!
