Stage 3: Feddet to Vordingborg, 30 km
Today’s stage is 30 km in length and takes you from Præstø Fjord to Vordingborg. Follow Route 9 along Præstø Fjord and into Præstø, where you can take a break, have an ice cream and enjoy the idyllic market town or the harbour overlooking Præstø Fjord. If you’re here during the summer holidays, drop by H.C. Andersen World, Denmark’s only theatre park. From Præstø, follow Route 56 towards the lake at Ugledige and Stokkede Skov. Despite the place’s grim history – Galgebakken – it is an ideal spot for enjoying a packed lunch at the shelter, which also has a campfire area. From here, the trip continues towards Vordingborg.

For the fourth stage, the Danish Castle Centre and Goose Tower is the perfect place to start the day.
