Sinebjerg Camping

Forests, lakes and a fair amount of flat terrain make this part of South Funen a smashing one for cycling or walking: a couple of kilometres away is the pretty fishing village of Dyreborg, or you could bike for half an hour to the birdwatchers’ haven at Bøjden Nor. Heaps more ideas are collected together in folders of recommended routes for your browsing pleasure on site, including the walk through the woods down to Faaborg fjord. Close to Faaborg are riding centres where you can saddle up Icelandic horses; there’s also a rather scenic golf club a 10-minute drive away, and a smart harbour facility in town where you can hire kayaks or take a swim before warming up in the sauna. It’s worth taking a wander around Faaborg too – the town is full of historic buildings, including old watermills, the medieval West Gate and a church dating back to 1250. Arty types will want to visit the excellent collection in the Faaborg Museum too; outdoorsy types might prefer a boat trip to the islands of Lyø or Avernakø. Half an hour away by car is the Renaissance Egeskov Castle, like a fairytale picture with a moat, spires and elegant furnishings. You can also see the world’s biggest dolls’ house, stroll through the gorgeous gardens and clamber into the trees at the play forest.
