The third time in Denmark. Fjällräven Classic Denmark offered a hiking experience on one of Denmarks’ most beautiful nature sights, the South Funen Archipelago-trail (Sydfynske Øhav – Øhavsstien). The hike had its starting point by the harbor of Faldsled and had a distance of 75 km, with the goal line at Valdemars Slot, on Tåsinge, near the town Svendborg.

Faldsled Harbour, Fyn, Denmark 9am – I’m ready for the day’s 25km. Already at the start I meet several hikers that I know and have hiked with throughout the year. It can only be a great day!
We walk to Østrupgaard where we take a break and receive refreshments. Then it is on to the first camp at Holstenshuus. It is still very hot and difficult to fall asleep. We are awakened in the early hours of the morning when a lightning and thunder storm strikes.

We start at 8am and hike to Præstens Skov at the 40km mark where we eat lunch by the sea.
Then it’s on to Egebjerg where we camp for the second night at the 50km mark. It is still very warm.

Today we hiked down to Svendborg. Here I am treated for foot blisters. Just about everyone was suffering with them by this stage.
Then it was time for a quick lunch and then on to the finish line at Valdemar’s Castle.

I grew up in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia but I have lived in Denmark for some 25 years. I love the outdoors and lightweight backpacking is my way of getting there. I try to get outdoors at least once or twice a month in Denmark but mainly the south of Sweden. Two to four day hikes are my preference.
My base weight is normal to be around 5 kg and depending on the season 7 to 9 kg is an ideal total pack weight for me including consumables (food, water & fuel). That way I can enjoy my backpacking experience and still have all the essentials in my kit.
