Nyborg
Spend a half‑day (4–6 h) visiting Nyborg Castle and the Church of Our Lady, then catch a train onward; no need to stay overnight unless you want a spa break.
Nyborg is a small Funen town centred on its medieval castle and a historic church. With good rail links it makes a convenient stop‑over for a few hours, and the town offers a few hotels and restaurants for a quick rest.
