The island of Fyn lies in the Baltic Sea to the east of the Danish mainland of Jutland. Holidaymakers can expect camping in nature with dense forests and the archipelago in South Fyn. In the rural interior of the island, the roads meander past fields to picturesque villages. Lively harbour towns have developed along the coast, with flower-decorated alleyways and colourful half-timbered houses.
Active travellers can immerse themselves in a pristine natural landscape when camping on Fyn. Discover the diversity of the island on extended hikes and add numerous cultural elements such as historic castle ruins to your excursions.
Beach holidaymakers will find secluded beaches that slope gently into the sea and are therefore also suitable for children. Family-friendly campsites impress with exciting playgrounds and pool facilities with slides.
The flat landscapes, especially in the north of the island, make Fyn an ideal holiday destination for cyclists. The network of cycle paths covers the whole island. Most of the towns also have a cycle-friendly infrastructure.
Travellers from the Danish mainland of Jutland can reach the island of Fyn via the Lillebælt Bridge. The approach to the bridge is via the A7 motorway, followed by the E45 to Kolding. There you change to the E20, which then leads over the bridge to Fyn. The crossing is free of charge. The journey from Hamburg to Odense is around 300 kilometres, or you can take the car ferry to Fyn. The island of Alsen is not far from the German-Danish border. From Fynshav, the ferry crosses over to Bøjden on the island of Fyn. The journey takes just 50 minutes. The ferry company operates this route every 2 hours from early in the morning to late at night.
Ticket prices can vary seasonally and are more expensive during the high season from the beginning of June to the end of August. There are also gradations according to height for caravan trailers and length for motorhomes. In some cases, departures are offered on which caravans are transported free of charge.
Travellers can discover art, literature and history on the island of Fyn in places like Odense and Faaborg.
Denmark's third largest city can look back on a rich cultural history. A Viking castle and the remains of a settlement dating back to 850 were found under the Nonnebakken district. Medieval architecture can be discovered in the Gothic St Knuds Church from the 14th century. The church boasts a finely crafted and richly decorated altar by master woodcarver Claus Berg from Lübeck.
In terms of literature, Odense boasts Hans Christian Andersen, who was born here on 2 April 1805. The museum of the same name gives travellers access to the poet's life and his works. These include well-known fairy tales such as "The Little Mermaid" and "The Princess and the Pea".
Visitors enter Faaborg's old town centre through the round arch of the medieval Vesterport. It is one of the last preserved town gates in Denmark and is made of red brick. The city tour leads through narrow cobbled streets past historic half-timbered houses with colourful facades.
Art lovers will be delighted by the Faaborg Museum, which exhibits paintings, sculptures and furniture by local artists. The collection was founded by the canning manufacturer Mads Rasmussen.
When camping on Fyn, holidaymakers can discover the island region and its diverse nature on a bike tour or hike. These excursions can be perfectly combined with visits to small country villages or historic harbour towns.
A well-developed network of cycle paths criss-crosses the entire island and leads through dense forests, picturesque villages and over rolling hills. Along the way, the farm shops of picturesque farms offer, for example, sweet strawberries as refreshments for cyclists. There are colourful gardens and numerous historic manor houses to discover in this idyllic natural setting. If you are travelling along the coast of Fyn, you have the opportunity to visit one of the larger harbour towns. The island's capital Odense has 400 kilometres of cycle paths.
The South Fyn Archipelago hiking trail winds 220 km through the south of Fyn and various neighbouring islands. The trails, marked with blue pictograms, are reserved for hikers and are divided into seven sections. There are sections dedicated to a specific theme, such as walks on the art of South Fyn painters, which take those interested in culture to the Museum of Painting in Faaborg, among other places.
Holidaymakers can expect a variety of events at the campsite on Fyn. The programme includes culinary delights, musical performances, sports and entertainment for children.
The chefs on the island of Fyn use regional and seasonal produce to create dishes ranging from rustic to modern. Ingredients such as eggs, potatoes and meat come from local farmers and the orchards produce tasty juices.
One of the Fyn specialities is smoked cheese. This is usually served on brown bread with savoury radishes. Another popular dish on this Danish island is omelettes. The fresh egg omelettes are served with juicy roast pork and mustard. Of course, a slice of brown bread is also a must.
Culinary travellers can discover sweet treats on the so-called chocolate route. Beer breweries with their own beer creations can also be found all over the island. Wine connoisseurs can visit one of the picturesque wineries.
