Why not go for a swim at Føns Beach, hike to the top of Frøbjerg Bavnehøj and enjoy the view from Funen’s highest point (130 meters), or explore the marina area in Middelfart or the charming harbor in Assens?
If you book in advance, you can also visit Strøjer Collection – a unique and impressive display of royal and celebrity cars.
Along the route, you’ll pass by some of Funen’s most impressive manor houses – including the majestic Brahesborg, the idyllic Krengerup, and the historic Erholm. You can also take a short detour to Wedellsborg Manor and enjoy a walk in the scenic natural surroundings that embrace the estate.
