Step into the magical world of wool and travel 6,000 years back in time. Ever since the Neolithic period, we have used sheep’s fine coats to create both practical and beautiful things.

Before wool can be used, it must first be carded, spun and dyed. Now the yarn is ready for you to f.inst. weave, braid or sew with. This year, we are focusing on weaving, and both children and adults can participate. We will be visited by people who are really skilled at working with wool, but it is also good to bring your own adult. The activity is free of charge.

You can also visit the exhibition “Discover yourself”, which is open during the autumn holidays from 10 am-5 pm. Children are free, and adult tickets (18+) cost DKK 105.

Date: 13–17 October 11 am –3 pm
Location: Øhavsmuseet, Havnegade 3, Faaborg

 

Invite your kids on a magical adventure to experience Denmark’s first hikes, especially designed for children. Try the big aquaplay to experiment with hydro power yourself and activate the listening post with their fun fact stories about water’s immense importance to all of us.

Start at the water mill Kaleko Mølle, the oldest in Denmark, and let the fun begin.

 

”Beneath the Ice” is a dramatised audio walk that plays whenever you choose. The setting is the beautiful countryside of Southern Funen.

In the company of the narrator and archeologist Sofie, you ascend from Faaborg into the hilly Ice Age landscape that cradles our picturesque town. Feel how your pulse quickens as you walk upwards with a lovestruck Hans Christian Andersen in your ear. Smell the pine forest as his beloved Riborg Voigt reads from their correspondence. And let yourself be captivated by the gentle hills that have mesmerized the famous painters Anne and Fritz Syberg.
