Hiking in Faaborg is something special. Walk along Øhavsstien, one of Denmark's longest hiking trails at 220 kilometres, or go island hopping in the South Funen Archipelago, where you can hike along the islands. Faaborg offers hikes for everyone.

Family-friendly hiking
Faaborg area has several hiking paths that are suitable for the whole family. Whether you want to do a short hike on 2.5 km or do a longer distance above 10 km. Pipstorn forest offers a playground, a picnic centre, and exciting burial mounds. Tarup-Davinde also offers exciting excursion opportunities where you can swim in the lakes, make bonfires or pet goats.

 

Always access to toilets and drinking water
Hike Friends is an association of volunteers, both locals and shops, all offering to fill your water bottle or provide information about the nearest toilet. VisitFyn offers a complete list of Hike Friends in the area. 

Try a different hike on Lyø, Avernakø or Bjørnø, where you can listen to their island stories along the way.

In many places on the archipelago trail the view is fantastic. Here is the view to the village of Svanninge and the South Funen Archipelago.
