Tips, Trips, and Stories From Our Worldly Travels

Martofte: 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...

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...
