**Avernakø Landhotel** strives to create unique and memorable experiences for our guests through sustainable operation, personalized service and authentic nature experiences. We are dedicated to providing a haven from everyday life where guests can relax, rediscover nature and create lasting memories with loved ones.

We are located in the heart of the **UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Archipelago**, which tells the story of a dramatic sea rise at the end of the last ice age, and how the ice created a very special landscape that has defined the nature and culture of the area for 10,000 years.

We love our Geopark and therefore the tours here are also themed around the islands and nature which is definitely worth experiencing!

*We want to make it easy and convenient for our guests to experience Avernakø and that's why we offer this tour where you can quickly and easily book a bike ride on Avernakø. We make sure you have bicycles ready at Avernakø Harbour, book your ferry tickets for you and make sure you are covered for a delicious lunch at Avernakø Landhotel.*

Lunch of course takes place at **Avernakø Landhotel**, where we have outdoor dining in our beautiful garden when the weather permits. We have classic Danish lunch dishes and cold beer/water in the fridge.

UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Island Sea is a geological gem and was shaped during the last ice age when huge glaciers retreated as temperatures rose. Avernakø is about 8 km long and has just under 20 km of coastline, which can be the setting for some very beautiful nature experiences.

The elongated shape of the island means that you have sea views almost wherever you go. It's easy to stop and enjoy one of the many great beaches. The bird life is diverse on Avernakø. Avernakø is home to Europe's largest concentration of bell frogs, and in order to provide them with the best possible conditions, former watering holes have been re-established. It provides good conditions for bird life.
