Æbelø
Æbelø is located in the Kattegat north of Funen and here there is no ferry crossing. You can, on days with low tide, walk all the way to the island. The island is only approx. 2 km2 and is uninhabited. It is therefore a gem where nature is allowed to live its own life, without intervention and change.
The island was abandoned in the 1960s and then the various buildings that had previously characterized the landscape were removed. Later, the island was bought by the Age V. Jensen Nature Foundation, which works to restore nature on the island and let it flourish without disturbance.
Unique experiences
You can choose to take the trip to the island yourself, so it would be a good idea to check up on the tide schedule before you plan your trip. It varies a lot and you may end up having gone to the island and then can not come back again as the tide is the place in the meantime. It is also an opportunity to book a guided tour to Æbelø, where you will be told stories about the island. The guided tour is approx. 15-18 km and you must bring your own food and other necessities. Otherwise, just enjoy the beautiful kilometers both through the water and around the island in the unspoilt nature that the island has to offer.
As the island is not inhabited, there are no accommodation or dining options on the island - so it would be a good idea to pack a good packed lunch if you decide to visit the beautiful island.
