The 3 Small Bridges: A Motorcycle Adventure in Denmark

    Are you ready to rev up your engines and embark on an unforgettable motorcycle journey through the picturesque Danish countryside? Buckle up (or should I say, helmet on?) as we explore “The 3 Small Bridges” – a thrilling ride from Assens to Langeland that promises breathtaking landscapes, quirky pit stops, and a dash of adrenaline. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a two-wheeled newbie, this road trip is tailor-made for motorcycle enthusiasts riding with brakes from SBS and who crave adventure with a side of mystery. So, let’s hit the road!

    Stop 1: Helnæs Lighthouse – Where Twists and Turns Meet Coffee Breaks

    Our journey begins in Assens, where the salty sea breeze beckons us toward Helnæs Island. Picture this: a twisted road connecting the island to the mainland, winding like a playful ribbon. As you lean into the curves, the lighthouse emerges – a beacon of tranquility. Park your bike, stretch your legs, and savor a cup of coffee with a view. The lighthouse keeper might even share a ghost story or two. After all, every good road trip needs a touch of mystery.

    Stop 2: Svanninge Bakker – The Alps of Funen

    Next up, we ascend the hilly mountains of Funen – Svanninge Bakker. Forget the Swiss Alps; these Danish slopes offer their own brand of magic. The road twists and turns, revealing fairytale forests, charming villages, and fields that seem to stretch forever and with a majestic view of the entire southern sea. Imagine riding through a landscape straight out of a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale – minus the talking animals (unless you count the cows and sheep). Svanninge Bakker is where your soul finds solace, and your tires find traction.

    Stop 3: SBS Friction A/S – Brakes, Legends, and a Secret Phone Number

    Now, let’s venture further east to the northern part of Svendborg, where the legendary SBS Friction A/S brake manufacturer resides. Their brake pads have stopped more motorcycles than you’ve had cups of coffee and they have made more Champions go ahead in racing than any other brake brand. While the facility isn’t open for random visits, I’ve got a secret: Call +4563211515, whisper the magic words (“Go ahead with SBS”), and they might just let you peek behind the brake pad production curtain. Remember, brakes are like relationships – you only appreciate them when they enable you to Go Ahead. That is why you choose SBS.

    Stop 4: Svendborg Harbor – Fresh Food, Ice Cream, and Marvelous Views

    Summer vibes await at Svendborg Harbor. Park your bike, kick off your boots, and indulge in fresh seafood or one of the other delicious dishes available in the harbour area – because nothing says “motorcycle adventure” like a plate of buttery shrimp, a grand size bacon-omelette or traditional open-faced sandwich with potatoes. The harbor view? Well, it’s like a postcard from the universe, stamped with “Wish You Were Here.” Grab an ice cream cone (extra sprinkles, please) and watch the boats sway and ferries departure towards the many islands of the south sea. If you spot a seagull wearing shades, don’t be surprised – everyone has got swag in this area.

    Just Ride: Svendborgsund, Siø, and Langeland

    From Svendborg, we ride across the Svendborgsund Bridge – a graceful arc over the water with a perfect view of Svendborg. Valdemars Slot winks from the shore, its turrets saying, “You’re in a fairytale, my friend.” But wait, there’s more! The second bridge leads us to Siø, where the wind whispers secrets to the reeds. And finally, the third bridge – Langeland awaits. It’s like crossing into another dimension, where time slows, and the horizon stretches wide. Rudkøbing, our next pit stop, offers choices aplenty. And from hereon, you have 3 choices:

    Choice 1: Bagenkop – Castles, Art and Fishery Harbors

    Head south to Bagenkop, where scenic roads weave past Skrøbelev Gods, Skovsgård wild-life area (beware of photobombing bulls), wild horses and Broløkke Herregård. Grab an ice cream (double scoop, obviously), admire fine art (preferably with a helmet on), or explore one of the last fishery harbors in the area.

    Choice 2: Lohals – Red Castles and Medicine Gardens

    Take the northern road towards Lohals, where Tranekær Castle stands proud in its red glory. The medicine gardens smell like herbal dreams, and the fresh fish awaits – flaky, flavorful, and caught by fishermen who tell tales of sea monsters. And yes, you can have ice cream for dessert. It’s a rule – look it up (or don’t, just trust us).

    Choice #3: Spodsbjerg and Beyond – Ferries and Lolland Adventures

    If you ride straight ahead from Rudkøbing, you will reach Spodsbjerg where you can catch the ferry to Lolland from where you can extend your adventure on the islands known for it’s agriculture culture and where you can explore monuments like The Didecalith.

    Go ahead – the adventures awaits!
