CHILDREN OF THE SEA WELCOME YOU!

Hear the voices of the Archipelago. Now, you can listen to childrens and grown-ups stories about life as a young islander in the Southern Funen Archipelago – from the Stone Age to present times. When you board the charming islands, many other adventures await you. Get activity tips for the whole family and try everything from hare spotting to dam building.

Along the way, you will meet:

• Valdemar the Young on Lyø in 13th century

• Cloud on Bjørnø around 5000 BC
