With the South Funen Archipelago in the front garden and the Svanninge Hills in the back, lies Faaborg – one of Denmark’s oldest and most beautiful market towns. Cobblestone streets breathe history, the Bell Tower watches over the town, and the brushstrokes of the Funen Painters live on at the Faaborg Museum.

But we are more than that.

A holiday in Faaborg is a holiday in the UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Archipelago – a rolling landscape shaped by thousands of years of glacial movement, an archipelago of possibilities and nature of world-class quality. Here, island hopping comes with the wind at your back, mountain bike trails leave mud on your face, and hiking routes are so long they leave you speechless.

Here, there is sky, sea, islands and hills. A little more time and a lot more space.

Here, it’s more than just beautiful.

In the South Funen Archipelago, experiences change with the weather, the light and the season. When spring comes knocking, the landscape bursts into life with long stretches of lilac hedges and the first warm days that invite you out onto the trails. Summer brings sailing winds, salty air and island hopping between beautiful small islands – days that stretch on, as only summer days can.

Autumn paints the hills in gold and red, and the forests of the Svanninge Hills sprinkle golden leaves across the hiking paths. And even when winter bites with frost on your nose and icy chills, there is still life in the South Funen Archipelago. Here, there is sauna for the soul, winter bathing in the waves, and the calm to feel that time moves at a different pace.

Nature sets the tempo – and the experiences follow. There is always something in sight.
