Ærø offers a wealth of experiences for both young and old - most of these experiences are based on the rather special nature that can be found on the island.

We have compiled an overview of the absolute best experiences that the island has to offer below.

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 the forces are not for the long hike. Experience the beautiful nature and the historical monuments that can be found on the route, and spend the night in one of the shelters set up.
The path is for walkers, and it is therefore marked with marker poles. Read more about the route and see a map of it below.
Museum experience for both large and small
Visit the Old Shipyard
At Det Gamle Værft you can experience living workshops where the whole family gets very close to the maritime history - and you can even be allowed to get your fingers dirty. The museum consists of two exhibition buildings, which are called Den Blå Hal and Værftshallen. In addition, the museum spreads over the harbor area, where they have their own berth, among other things.

Exciting nature area
Explore the Beak
The exciting nature area Næbbet stretches 300 meters towards the South Funen Archipelago, and is one of the most interesting places for bird and plant enthusiasts all over 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.
Explore the Beak and explore the area's diverse flora and fauna.
