Exploring Korsør on a bicycle

From Tunisia I made my way to Denmark to take on more Destination Challenges.

The Denmark Challenge kicked off in Korsør and this time not just with me but also Carina from Travel Run Play joined. Together we spent 10 days in Denmark tackling 10 missions.

On our first mission in Korsør we needed to find different landmarks and connect them by bike. One of my favorite landmarks was the massive storebælt bridge that connects mainland Denmark with Sjælland aka Zealand.

Find out what else we discovered below...

Made it to #Denmark! 🇩🇰 Denmark is putting Carina from @travelrunplay & myself to the test on the #DenmarkChallenge starting here in #Zealand. The #storebælt iconic bridge is the gateway to this relaxing part of the country. Quite the welcome & view don't you think? 👌✌👍👊😉 #DestinationChallenges with #visitdenmark #visitdenmarkstories #SjællandsVestkyst #RelaxingZealand #storebæltsbroen

Tadaa, meet Carina! She runs @travelrunplay and together we'll be taking on whatever #Denmark throws at us on the #DenmarkChallenge! It's the first time I'm teaming up for #DestinationChallenges so I'm super excited about what's in store for of us. 10 mission in 10 days in different parts of the country aaaand as usual we'll need your help to tackle them. Stay tuned and if you know people that live or travel here do tag them in the comments so they can join the party as well. We'll need all the help we can get. 😉🇩🇰 Normally we'd be here with Marco from @lifeisatripcom already but misfortune struck last weekend and he's recovering from a little accident. We hope he can join us soon! Hang in there buddy 😉 #visitdenmark #visitdenmarkstories #SjællandsVestkyst #RelaxingZealand

#DenmarkChallenge Mission 1 'Connect the dots on the map by bicycle.' 🚴🇩🇰 Do let us know if you know people in the area! We might be able to catch up with them or they could join on our little bike adventure. 😉 We'll also be taking Marco from @lifeisatripcom with us virtually since he was supposed to be here with us but got struck by misfortune last weekend and is now recovering at the hospital in Germany. Wish him well in your own language while we jump on our bikes and explore #Korsør on the @sjaellandsvestkyst.

The #Korsør fortress was the first place we needed to find in our little bicycle quest. Placed at a strategic position near the harbour the place shaped the Korsør maritime DNA. #DenmarkChallenge with @travelrunplay & @govisitdenmark #DestinationChallenges in #SjællandsVestkyst #RelaxingZealand

Found Einstein's head at the #Kongegaarden house, another spot we needed to discover in #Korsør. (Royal) Love and art are what's been flowing through the rooms of this historical place for centuries. ❤ #DenmarkChallenge with @govisitdenmark & @travelrunplay #DestinationChallenges in #sjaellandsvestkyst #RelaxingZealand

Interested in visiting Korsør as well? Below some practical info from our trip ;-)

Where to stay?
We stayed at camping Storebælt which was situated right at the waterfront and the belly of the bridge. You can find more Korsør accommodation options here.

How to get there?
We traveled around in a cute rental car which I found extremely convenient.
