Program
Day 1: Arrival in the Funen Alps:
Your adventure begins in the heart of Funen’s most iconic landscape. Faaborg Camping is located directly in the Svanninge Hills & Mountains – a hilly moraine landscape shaped by the last Ice Age and often referred to as “The Funen Alps.” Check into your cabin after 3:00 pm, which serves as the perfect base. Spend the afternoon exploring the beautiful hills, which offer a wealth of hiking and mountain biking routes. In the evening, you can enjoy a meal with a view of the rolling countryside. Day 2: From mountains to archipelago:
After a good night’s sleep, you can explore more of the magnificent landscape surrounding Faaborg Camping. The area is known for its rich biodiversity and historic trails. Try one of the marked hiking routes, or rent a mountain bike to get your pulse up on the scenic tracks. The direct access from the campsite to the “Funen Alps” makes this a unique outdoor experience. We recommend trying the Mammut Trail on a mountain bike, climbing Lerbjerg on foot, or exploring the Svanninge Hills. The evening can be spent relaxing or taking a trip to the cozy market town of Faaborg, just a few kilometers away. Day 3: Island hopping to Lyø and Avernakø:
Today a true island-hopping adventure awaits. Check out from Faaborg Camping and take the ferry from Faaborg to Lyø at 10:00. Stroll through Lyø’s charming streets with thatched houses and the characteristic village ponds. Remember to bring a packed lunch, as shops may have limited opening hours. Later, the journey continues to Avernakø. The ferry departs from Lyø at 14:40 and arrives at Avernakø at 15:10. From Avernakø Harbour it is 1.3 km to the Landhotel. Taxi service can be arranged (50,-). At 16:00, you are invited for coffee and cake with an introduction to Avernakø and the Landhotel. Between 17:30–19:00, a delicious dinner of local specialties and fresh produce is served. Day 4: Authentic island life on Avernakø:
Wake up to a good breakfast at the hotel (7–9). The morning is yours to explore Avernakø on foot or by bike. Experience the island’s unique landscape and tranquility. Lunch can be purchased at Avernakø Landhotel, and you are also welcome to prepare a packed lunch from the breakfast buffet instead. The final stage of the tour takes you back to Faaborg by ferry at 15:10, filled with new impressions and experiences. You can look back on an experience that has showcased Funen’s most spectacular nature – from the heights of the “Funen Alps” to the vibrant island sea.
