ADVENTURES ALL YEAR ROUND
In Southern Funen, the magic of Nature awaits you everywhere. You can explore Øhavsmuseet’s exhibition on nature, ride your bike in the footstep of mammoths, walk in the realm of the supernaturals or discover other Archipelago adventures. Join one of our below activities at your own pace and time.
CHILDREN OF THE SEA
We have collected children’s voices from the Stone Age to present times. Listen to their tales and stories about being a kid on an island in the Southern Funen Archipelago. You will find plenty to do, when you go ashore. Get our suggestions to fun activities for the whole familiy at the sign posts. Why not try hare-spotting or dam building?
Mammoth trail
Mount your mountain bike in the hills of Svanninge Bakker and explore our brand new Mammoth Trail.
A unique MTB tour that takes you along the trail of the ancient mammoths. Take a break at the listening posts to learn more about the majestic mammals and some of the first humans that roamed the area.
The Nix and the Elf-girl
”The Nix and the Elf-girl” is a new hiking trail with listening posts that takes people of the present into the myth and superstition of the past. The hike is targeted older children. The combination between magical nature and the encounter of mythical creatures such as Elf-girls and The Nix creates a fascinating and sometimes a bit creepy experience. It shows how our ancestors included the supernaturals into their daily lives.
Water’s Way
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
”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.
Your entry to history.
