An ice cream break with fjord views

Strandcafé Stige Ø is located close to the water, making it an ideal place to take a break while enjoying views of the fjord and the open landscape. You can buy ice cream and coffee and find somewhere to sit while the children recharge before heading to the playground, or while you rest your legs after exploring the island.

The café’s location is a big part of the experience. With the water, green spaces and Stige Ø’s many trails all nearby, a visit can easily become part of a longer outing in the area.

A break between activities

Stige Ø offers plenty of space for walking, cycling, playing and mountain biking. Follow the trails through the area, climb the hills for sweeping views or let the children burn off some energy at the playground. A stop at the ice cream kiosk fits naturally into the day – either along the way or as a reward after tackling the final hills.

You do not need to have covered many kilometres to stop by. The café is also a destination in its own right when you fancy an ice cream surrounded by nature, just a short trip from central Odense. This makes it a great choice for families, cyclists, couples and anyone looking to combine a relaxing break with some fresh air.

A long tradition of day trips

Stige Ø has been a popular destination for day trips since the late 19th century, when visitors travelled here by boat to swim and visit the area’s restaurant. Today’s beach café continues that tradition in its own way: people still make the trip to Stige Ø – now with the chance to enjoy a generous ice cream cone by the fjord.
