Faaborg - a Part of The South Funen Archipelago
Maritime adventures and The Archipelago Trail
In the South Funen Archipelago, you will find little islands dotted in the waters as pearls on a string. Just south of Faaborg, these islands, ie Bjørnø, Lyø, Avernakø and Ærø, are all reachable by ferry from Faaborg Harbour. How about catching the morning ferry and go on a hike on the island of Lyø for a few hours, then sail to Avernakø and do some cycling and later in the afternoon return to Faaborg by ferry?
From Faaborg there are also daily departures to Søby on the island of Ærø.
Sea Kayaking and Setting Sails
The Archipelago map offers exiting kayaking trips and provides you with a lot of opportunities in terms of spending your holidays with paddles in your hands. The map is available free of charge from the Tourist Office in Faaborg and the Tourist Information situated at “Midtfyns Fritidscenter” in Ringe. The guide book, including a chart, “Sea Kayak – Guide to the South Fyn Archipelago” is available from the Tourist Office.
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from June 28th to August 6th, the beautiful old wooden ship Meta embarks from Faaborg on an island cruise to Avernakø during the mornings and a nostalgia sunset trip in the evenings.
Angling
Many years of vigilant work, persistence and reestablishment of the streams on Funen have turned the area into an angler’s haven. The sea trout guide “117 fine Funen fishing spots” provides invaluable information on the best fishing places on Funen.
The Archipelago Trail
From Faldsled in the west, Langeland in the east and Ærø due south – a signposted trail surrounds The Southfunen Archipelago and with its 220 km it is one of Denmark’s longest hiking trails, ie also known as the Archipelago Trail. The maps are available at the Faaborg Tourist Office and you can find more information at www.detsydfynskeoehav.dk
The Archipelago Day
On Sunday the 29th of August the entire Southfunen Archipelago will be roaring with activities for adults as well as children. Please find more information at www.oehavetsdag.dk
