Tips, Trips, and Stories From Our Worldly TravelsMartofte: Mårhøj and the Northern Tip of Funen
After Kerteminde we continued north along the Hindsholm peninsula towards Martofte. The village itself is small, and the reason this stop stood out for us was not the centre of Martofte but Mårhøj/Snavehøjen, where we stopped to see one of the most impressive...
The Ice Cream Behind the Chocolate Crack
Magnum is one of those ice creams that is almost impossible not to recognise in Europe. The basic idea has changed remarkably little: vanilla ice cream on a stick covered by a relatively thick layer of chocolate, designed to break with a noticeable crack when you bite...
Kerteminde: Harbour, Beach and a Busy Marina
We reached Kerteminde on the east coast of Funen and spent time around several parts of the waterfront. The setting was one of the main reasons to stop: the town sits between Kerteminde Fjord and the Great Belt, so the harbour, marina and beaches are all very close to...
Årslev: A Stop by the Lakes near Odense
After travelling through southern Funen we reached Årslev, south of Odense. This was not a stop for a historic town centre or a major attraction. For us, the interesting part was the countryside around Ibjergvej, where we checked two very different places for the...
Svendborg: Harbour, Ferries and South Funen
We reached Svendborg while travelling through southern Funen, and our visit involved checking several different places for the motorhome rather than relying on a single parking area. Our route through the town included Pjentemøllestræde, Dronningemaen and Stenpladsen,...
Faaborg: Old Streets, Harbour and South Funen
Faaborg was one of our stops on the south coast of Funen, and unlike some of the smaller places we had passed through, here we spent time checking several different parking options around the town before continuing our journey. The most useful part of Faaborg for us...
Odense: Hans Christian Andersen, Vikings and the Danish Language
Odense was one of the more important stops of our journey across Funen, and we passed through its area more than once. Our travel log records four different places that we checked around the city: Rugårdsvej and Christiansgade during the earlier part of the route,...
Nyborg: Castle, Harbour and the Great Belt
We reached Nyborg on 18 August and ended up checking more possible stops here than in most towns on Funen. The harbour, old centre, beaches and Great Belt Bridge are all fairly close together, but the different parking options vary considerably in how useful they are...
Ejby: Two Very Different Motorhome Stops
After Middelfart we continued across Funen and stopped around Ejby, where we ended up trying two completely different places. The first was at Høstmarksvej, directly by the coast. We arrived at about 5pm in mid season and still found a space easily for our 23-foot...
Middelfart: The Little Belt, the Bridges and the Waterfront
After Fredericia we crossed the Little Belt and reached Middelfart, our first proper stop on Funen. Here the water was again the main reason the place was worth stopping for. Middelfart sits directly on one of Denmark’s narrowest and most interesting stretches of sea,...
