Funen market towns

Not that many years ago Danish school children had to learn the names of all the market towns by heart. That has stopped and nowadays the Funen island is known for its fertile soil, delicious farm products and organic food.

The market town Svendborg is best known for its charming harbour and beautiful sights towards the islands just south of Funen. Faaborg has its belltower - without a church though, the naval hero Peter Willemoes was born in Assens and set his mark in the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 where also the Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson was present being second-in-command to Admiral Hyde Parker. In Middelfart you find a renowned ceramic museum, CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark as well as the impressive views to both bridges across Lillebælt, the Little Belt. Bogens further north have an annual celebration of roses and Kerteminde to the East celebrates cherries with an annual celebration and finally Nyborg is also worth a visit with its castle and annual open-air summer musical.

Mutual characteristics of the Funen market towns are picturesque cobbled stoned streets, leaning houses, small town gardens and court yards behind the scenes. Furthermore lots of hollyhocs growing up the houses from where the inhabitant can follow life in the street by looking through the street mirrors. Let your guide guide you to all the best places for memorable holiday photoes whether it is modern architecture and modernised harbour areas or the old halftimbered houses.

Funen attractions are numerous. You'll find plenty estates and manors spread all over the island explained by the furtile soil which has given the Funen landowners the best of opportunities to grow lots of crops from the middle ages untill today.
