Beautiful tour around the island with swimming 😄

Today we took the ferry to Fanø. When the weather was beautiful, we circled the island on the paved paths and on the beach. The cycle paths are a dream here in Denmark. Finally we had a burger before we took the ferry back. A really successful day.

Today's tour took us to the southern tip of the island. There is also a seal bank here.
First, however, a shallow stretch of shore filled with North Sea water had to be waded through.
Unfortunately, the animals' resting place was very far from the beach and we didn't know the tides. So don't take any risks and just took …

The path along the west coast is a hard sand track. Ideal for cycling. The circuit around the island is flat (40 meters in altitude) and does not require any special physical condition. Worth seeing is Sønderho with its beautiful town center. But Nõrby also has a beautiful old town centre. The entire island is a dream 😉

Today we went to the small island of Fanø, there was a lot to see and of course it was a lot of fun to drive there, you couldn't see everything, maybe another time.

Ferry ticket is valid for the return trip.
From the ferry, there are paved bike paths along PanoramaWeg 404 to the south. Easy, very beautiful area.
Didn't take the 404 back (which would have been fine, too), but instead took the west side along the beach: very impressive. Depending on the tide, it might not be possible all the way.
