Hiking route with the possibility of accommodation

Lace up your hiking boots to Øhavsstien

The hiking route Øhavsstien is a full 36 km long – but can be divided if you don’t have the strength for the long hike. Experience the beautiful nature and historical monuments that can be found on the route, and stay overnight in one of the shelters set up.

Exciting nature area

Explore the Beak

The exciting nature area Næbbet stretches 300 meters out towards the South Funen Archipelago, and is one of the most interesting places for bird and plant enthusiasts on the whole of Ærø. In addition, the section between Skjoldnæs Lighthouse and Næbbet is a very polar place for anglers due to the water depth and the strong current. Go exploring on Næbbet and explore the area's diverse flora and fauna.
