On Ærø, we found a more peaceful life with more freedom. Watching my children grow up in these fantastic surroundings, makes me very grateful. Life is simply too short not to live on Ærø.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN THE

THREE BIGGEST TOWNS ON ÆRØ

The three biggest towns on Ærø – Marstal, Ærøskøbing and Søby – stand proudly on each corner of the island It is here that the local pulse beats strongly, and it is here that you will find the biggest grocery stores (and plenty of local islanders, of course)

However, the delights of the island are not limited to these bustling areas Just outside the various towns, you will find a host of exciting activities in beautiful natural settings that are a delight to experience

The following pages provide a peep into the special features of the three towns, and we then present the sights and attractions you must not miss to visit

SØBY & THE COUNTRYSIDE

Close to the westernmost tip of Ærø stands Søby, the smallest of the three largest towns on the island Søby is renowned for its incredibly beautiful natural surrounds, as well as its charming, thriving marina, which is located close to the town, the shops and a café that offers a delightful view out over the sea

Søby is anything but a sleepy town You will clearly sense this at the harbour, where a new Dagli’Brusen supermarket opened in 2022 and the only shipyard on the island builds new ships from time to time Its most recent product is Ærø’s ferry the E/F Ellen, which sails its route every day, powered purely by electricity

Just outside Søby stands Søbygaard manor, which radiates history and bears witness to Ærø’s ducal past as a part of the Duchy of Southern Jutland The manor hosts changing exhibitions and the Kys Frøencentre for children It also stages concerts from April through October And a walk around the old moat is always a treat

A stone’s throw from Søby lies Vitsø Strand. This is a delightful, pebbled beach that is a great place to spend half a day or more Take a gentle stroll, skim stones across the water, enjoy the view and admire the wonderful old fisherman’s cabins that line the coast On warm summer days, you’ll be sure to appreciate the jetty that leads directly to an excellent swimming area with a soft, sandy bottom

VITSØ BEACH NEAR SØBY

Søby Marina & playground is an absolute must if you’re visiting Ærø with children The playground is located right next to Søby Strand beach, the marina, shops and Café Arthur, which has a wonderful sea view and serves fast food with a twist

Rising high in the middle of Ærø Golf Club’s spectacular seaside links at the northern tip of the island, Skjoldnæs Lighthouse stands proud The lighthouse is 22 metres tall and still flashes its warning out into the night sky Climb to the top and take in the view out over the South Fyn Archipelago, the Baltic Sea and the waters of the Little Belt – all at the same time

Founded by Arthur Jørgensen almost a century ago, Søby Værft (shipyard) is the largest privately owned workplace on the island If you would like to find out more

about Arthur and the shipyard, we warmly recommend the tour entitled In Arthur’s footsteps, where guide Karen-Margrethe leads you around the town, relating stories about Arthur’s life and times

Just north of Søby is Næbbet, an area of wetland that stretches 300 metres into the water and is shaped like a beak (“næb” means “beak” in Danish) The area is especially popular with birdwatchers and people interested in plants, and it is something of a paradise for anglers on account of the depth of the water and the strong current

In the summer, you can treat yourself, your friends and your family to an entertaining hour or so on the charming minigolf course in Søby. The tricky holes are of the old, brick-built type and the surroundings are green and welcoming

MARSTAL & MARITIME HISTORY

When you stroll through the town of Marstal or along the waterfront, you cannot help but notice how maritime history is much in evidence everywhere you look – even up in the air, where signal flags are used to decorate the pedestrian street As you head

towards the water, you will encounter the old seamen’s houses that line the winding roads

The harbour itself is elongated, transforming as it progresses from shipyard to ferry harbour to marina and, finally, to a fine stretch of beach

The marina here is the largest on the island and attracts numerous visitors every summer – many of whom come back year after year

WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN MARSTAL

The Archipelago Festival is a summertime fantasy of a festival in the beautiful setting of Marstal Harbour It is a new festival, having been held for the first time in 2021, and showcases music, interesting talks and activities for children

If you would like to dive down into the maritime history of Marstal, we warmly recommend a visit to Marstal Maritime Museum – although “museum” is, in fact, something of an understatement The place is actually a treasure trove of all things maritime, and the people in the photos are more than anonymous figures “The lady there on the deck with the big hat was my great-grandmother,” relates the tour guide; and that pretty much sets the scene

Alongside Eriks Hale, the most popular stretch of beach in Marstal, you can admire the sight of 19 typical Ærø beach houses. The little houses are all privately owned and they are used regularly in the summer because on Ærø, a beach house is a place for family gatherings, traditions and moments to cherish

Close to the sea, you will find Skipper Park Marstal – an amusement park with water features, games and a maritime theme There is plenty of space for children to burn off some energy while their parents enjoy a coffee on the lounge chairs outdoors or in the delightful indoor café

Strandbyen in Ommel. A little oasis on the outskirts of the village of Ommel, approx 3 km from Marstal Head on out there by bike – and don’t forget your packed lunch and a towel Attractions here include a charming little beach and a private playground close to each other

Every Friday in July, the local traders association organises the Marstal By Night event There are all kinds of great activities for young and old alike, the shops stay open late, and the town is packed with people, music and a general air of merriment To mark the event, the town is also beautifully decorated to a specific theme – maritime, naturally

MARSTAL MARITIME MUSEUM

ÆRØSKØBING & ARCHITECTURE

Ærøskøbing is the best preserved eighteenth century town in Denmark and includes parts that are actually more than 750 years old Thanks to an ambitious conservation plan and to residents who lovingly

renovate and care for their homes, the town looks like it has been lifted out of a fairytale, with its cobbled streets, climbing roses and small, neatly kept houses Many travel guides actually refer to it as “the Fairytale Town”

Over the past decade, the town has enjoyed a purple patch and now presents a lively urban environment buoyed by local firebrands, and a thriving town centre dotted with cafés and shops

WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN ÆRØSKØBING

In 2002, Ærøskøbing was awarded the coveted Europa Nostra Prize for the preservation of European cultural heritage, which has simultaneously been assimilated into a lively local community It is precisely this blend of heritage and modern life that makes the historical part of Ærøskøbing so interesting to visit

Step into Ærø Museum for a journey back through time: from present day life on the island to the rural society of ages past Admire the extraordinary exhibitions and the museum garden which provides a fine impression of the greener, more fertile Ærøskøbing which is otherwise hidden away in the closed courtyards of the town

Every year, the town is transformed when it hosts the delightful Christmas Market in Ærøskøbing, famed for its stalls,

Christmas music, giant Christmas Cookies and locally produced items that make wonderful Christmas gifts The Christmas market is held on three Saturdays divided between November and December

Alongside Vesterstrand, the popular stretch of beach in Ærøskøbing, you can admire the sight of fully 71 typical Ærø beach houses. In the same way as in Marstal, these privately owned huts are used regularly in the summer, when families invite their friends to the beach, to celebrate birthdays and so on

If you would like to find out more about the history of Ærøskøbing, we recommend that you join the watchman as he walks his rounds through the town The local watchmen are fully familiar with the history of the region, and you can be sure of both cold facts and heart-warming stories

about the residents of Ærøskøbing and the lives they lead You might even spot a tall tale or two

In early August every year, you can relax to the cool sounds of jazz at various places in Ærøskøbing when the curtain rises on the Ærø Jazz Festival. The event attracts both big names and new acts, and the full programme delights aficionados of jazz year in and year out

During the school holidays, a bunch of cool dudes and gals at Det Gamle Værft (The Old Shipyard) are ready to teach young and old alike about maritime cultural heritage and Danish traditions of craftsmanship in the field of vessel conservation For example, you can test your skills in the forge and have a go at other exciting, traditional crafts

COAST & COUNTRYSIDE

NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO ÆRØ

moor your boat in one of the charming harbours, see if you can stay upright on an SUP board or in a kayak, cast your fishing line, go on a guided tour to find out more about the origins of beach stones, or simply

Make tracks for Voderup Klint on the south side of Ærø The geology here has markedly changed the landscape in that a major stone slide has left huge blocks of stone that look more like terraces or giant steps leading down to the water.

HISTORY & GEOLOGY

THE PAST REACHES INTO THE FUTURE ON ÆRØ

ÆRØ IS A PRODUCT OF THE ICE AGE

The history of Ærø can be traced back to the last Ice Age Together with the island of Langeland and the cities of Faaborg and Svendborg, Ærø is a part of the South Fyn Archipelago, which came into being when the giant ice caps melted more than 11,000 years ago The melting ice caused massive flooding, which left only the highest points of the landscape above sea level, and thus was created the South Fyn Archipelago, with its 55+ islands and islets Today, it is known as Geopark – The South Fyn Archipelago

On and around Ærø, you can still see many traces of the last Ice age, in the form of small islands, tongues of land, cliffs and stretches of wetland; and you can experience how the local population has exploited the particular conditions created by the Ice Age

A KEY JUNCTION ON THE VIKINGS’ TRADING ROUTE?

People, however, have “only” been making their mark on Ærø since the Stone Age, as evidenced by the numerous dolmens and galley graves scattered across the island

Moreover, did you know that Ærø was a key junction on the Vikings’ maritime trading route? This has been established by excavations that have unearthed traces of a trading site and boat-building operations at Havsmarken on the south side of the island

If you would like to delve a little more deeply into the earliest history of Ærø while you are visiting the island, there are ancient relics to be found wherever you go

ERIKS HALE BEACH NEAR MARSTAL

Swing by Søbygaard Manor just outside Søby and feel the breath of history sweep over you This mediaeval fortress is a testament to Ærø’s noble past: the island was a part of the Duchy of Southern Jutland until 1867.

Grab your binoculars and head for Næbbet, which is also near Søby This is one of the most vibrant and fascinating areas in Europe for people who are interested in studying birds and plants It is also a popular recreation area

Sail with the Birkholmposten mail boat to the micro-society on Birkholm – one

of Denmark’s smallest inhabited islands There are no eateries on the island, but you can buy ice cream from the town’s small self-service store, which also provides access to fresh water The store often has frozen baked goods for sale, too, as well as knitted goods and a small selection of books and sweets

Enjoy a dash of sea air and dive down into the Ærø’s unique seafaring history from the 1600s to the present day at Marstal Maritime Museum in “the skipper town”

Ærø will be inaugurating its very own Geopark visitors’ centre in 2023 The new centre will be located at Søbygaard and is scheduled to open its doors on 1 April Visit the centre for an in-depth look at the special geology of Ærø and then head out to the extraordinary geo-spots that are dotted around the island

Pack a picnic basket and set course for Voderup Klint, from whose cliff tops

there is a magnificent view over the Baltic sea – and the sunsets here can be truly breathtaking

Make sure to visit the area near St. Albert’s Church. This was originally the site of a fortified refuge in the Viking Age, before a church was built here in the 1300s You can still see clear traces of the old church today, and the view from the site is amazing

Come and see a galley grave from the Early Stone Age At the Galley grave in Kragnæs, you can crawl all the way into the burial chamber itself In fact, several people can sit inside at the same time and sense the Stone Age ambience

On the tip of Ærø, just outside Søby stands Skjoldnæs Lighthouse – one of the most beautiful lighthouses in Denmark Climb to the top and enjoy the view The lighthouse is open 24/7 on payment of a small admission fee

ART & CULTURE

HAND-CRAFTED BY ÆRØ FIREBRANDS

CREATIVE SOULS FIND THEIR WAY TO ÆRØ

It seems that Ærø readily attracts creative firebrands, and the island is fertile ground for art and culture In both the large towns and the small villages, local islanders and newcomers alike show a keen entrepreneurial mindset They devote their creativity to experimenting and expressing themselves – and the results are a delight

LOCAL ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT – WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH

Some contribute to a significant production of art, while others help initiate exciting cultural activities For example, you can visit wonderful (and sometimes downright quirky) galleries that present relevant photo art, unique jewellery, ceramics, woven goods, sculptures and fascinating installation art And, of course, much of what is on display is for sale, too

CONCERT, TOWN FESTIVAL, YOGA OR GUIDED TOUR?

You can also attend great concerts or visit one of Ærø’s traditional – and often thematic – town festivals Or draw inspiration from talks by contemporary authors, micro-festivals, dance performances, yoga workshops and guided tours

HAMMERICHS HUS IN ÆRØSKØBING

The atmospheric and authentic book store Creutz Boghandel in Ærøskøbing often hosts interesting, intimate meetings with contemporary authors – and stocks both relevant, carefully selected literature and top quality stationery

The libraries in Ærøskøbing and Marstal also regularly arrange intellectual and informative events centred around talks by authors

Experience world-class photographic art at Galleri Maria Fynsk Norup, which is located just outside Ærøskøbing In her work, this award-winning photographic artist often involves the self-portrait as a medium to support the narrative of the images She turns her aesthetic eye on the melancholy aspect of existence, the right to be in this world and the raw poetry of nature

The art college on the outskirts of Søby traditionally holds a free summer art exhibition. In 2023, the exhibition, which consists of works by the graduating students, will be presented in the area around the harbour in Søby As mentioned, the exhibition is free of charge – as are guided tours for groups of more than eight people

Ærø Museum gives you the chance to experience a voyage through time: the art/history exhibition entitled “Ærø – our island” presents stories and artefacts associated with life on Ærø through the centuries, from the ancient rural society on the island to modern day life as an Ærø resident

Treat yourself to a festival! The festivals on Ærø are small and intimate, but the lineups are just as exciting as at the bigger versions In Marstal, it is the Archipelago Festival you should attend – a modern festival of culture featuring both conversations and music, while in Ærøskøbing, the venerable Ærø Jazz Festival should claim your attention Every year, this festival draws internationally recognised performers to the island .

Historically, Ærø was a seafaring society (and it still is, to some extent), and this is something you can clearly sense at the “brown hostelries” on the island Step inside one of them for a shot of maritime ambience along with a glass of fine ale –and perhaps a story from the seven seas

No matter whether it is Grollefesten in Marstal, Eventyrfesten in Ærøskøbing or Risefesten in Store Rise, the town

festivals on Ærø are anything but dull Come and join the fun when local residents and visitors – children and adults alike – mix, mingle and party like there’s no tomorrow

In summer 2023 the Open Air Ballet by the Royal Theatre in Denmark will take place on Ærø Keep an eye on the event calendar at visitaeroe com/events for dates and more information

Come along on the Island Treasure Hunt and get to know Ærø (a little better) while you’re here The route takes you to some of the more unusual places on the island, each with a story to tell For example, you will visit the ancient lighthouse and the giant earthworks that were used to defend Ærø against the Wends Visit all the checkpoints to win a wonderful medal

Build ships and cross the Equator at Marstal Maritime Museum, crawl down into the cabin of a “real” sailing ship, or try climbing all the way up a ship’s mast! Children can also get an “authentic” sailor’s tattoo

Make your own soaps at the little smallholding in Bregninge that houses the Ærø Soap Company. Susanna & John grow flowers and herbs in their own garden, which they then use in the soaps From spring until autumn, you can carve funny shaped soaps using the leftovers from the main soap production process

Come and Kys Frøen (Kiss the Frog) at Søbygaard. Bring a packed lunch with you and enjoy a whole day under the open sky at Søbygaard, where you can also visit the whittling workshop, try shooting a bow and arrow, bake pancakes over an open fire and make your own kiln-fired beads of clay

Have a go at some authentic seafaring crafts at Det Gamle Værft. Experience the authentic shipyard hall with its own

smithy, where young and old alike can have a go at shaping a hook over a genuine forge under the skilled eye of the shipyard blacksmith You can also knot your own cool keyrings and decorate them with beads, or print your own design on fabrics and t-shirts

Ærø's nature is open for business, every day of the year And it offers various options for you to enjoy long, sandy beaches, beautiful landscapes, wonderful views and historical sites Building sandcastles and digging water tunnels are allyear activities on Ærø .

Let the little ones run free at one of Ærø’s well-equipped playgrounds. For an overview, see page 46

In the summer, you can challenge friends and family to a round of minigolf in the three largest towns on Ærø. For an overview, see page 46

If you come to Ærø in the autumn holidays, you can be sure of an adrenaline rush! If your children are aged between 8 and 16, they can test their driving skills in the Ærøskøbing Grand Prix Soapbox-car Derby

Plan a trip to the newly opened aqua park, Skipper Park in Marstal. There are water-based activities for children in the summer, as well as a coffee area for parents who would like to take a little breather

If you’re looking for a child-friendly outdoor experience, book a night’s stay at one of the numerous shelters on Ærø There is nothing quite like falling asleep under the stars, and in the morning you and your family can wake up with the beautiful natural surroundings all to yourselves

If you have a budding angler in your family (or even if you’d just like to give fishing a try), you can book a guided fishing trip for the whole family The focus here is on children enjoying themselves, and the trip includes a solid introduction to angling before you cast your lines from the coasts of Ærø

At the smallholding known as Solbo Grønt on the outskirts of Søby, you can pit your wits against the magical corn maze, where children and the young at heart can quiz their way around – and maybe even lose their way for a while You can also meet Bubba the boar and the other woolly pigs who live on the farm

The cycling and hiking routes on Ærø can easily be divided up, shortened or ridden/walked in short stages to suit small legs that tire a little quicker Plan a route that the whole family can manage, and remember to include plenty of breaks There are more than enough beautiful views to stop at and zone out

THE CHANGING SEASONS ON ÆRØ

SPRING ARRIVES EARLY – AND SUDDENLY

The green shoots of spring appear earlier on Ærø than on the mainland The island wakes with a start from its winter hibernation in the early months of spring, and the bushes and trees burst into bloom in a veritable symphony of colour

Every year, the rapeseed fields add their dash of bright yellow colour to large parts of the island, and poppies bloom in big and small clusters in the fields and roadside culverts

Shops, cafés and restaurants that were closed in the winter open up for the new season, the birds twitter in the trees and the queues at the ice cream stalls are still manageable Spring on Ærø is almost synonymous with weekend breaks and Easter holidays

SUMMER HOLIDAYS YOU WON’T WANT TO END …

And which you will want to repeat Often That’s the way it is with summer holidays on Ærø

The towns and beaches bustle with activity, and the crystal clear water can easily call to mind a postcard from the Caribbean

There are many reasons why Ærø’s summer guests keep coming back, year after year Perhaps it’s the special children’s crab races and the long days on the beach that do it … Or maybe the local summer festivals, the charming pedestrian streets and the summer concerts . It could also be the sunsets, the peace, quiet and togetherness, or the evening strolls through the Ærø countryside

Summer holidays on Ærø are simply made to be repeated

CHANGEABLE AUTUMN

As September progresses, the pace of life gradually slows on Ærø This is the time when you can sometimes have the whole beach to yourself, while on the streets you may meet only a cat and a couple of passing locals, who will greet you with a cheery “Go’daw!”

Autumn on Ærø can be rough and rugged with its tall waves and tree-shaking storms, but it can just as easily be mild and gentle with its soft winds and wonderful sunsets

The countryside colours change to warm, enveloping tones, and the air feels fresher than ever – if that were possible

This is the season for art and culture, introspection, tasty meals, coffee and cake And quality time with the people you love

THE TOWN SQUARE IN ÆRØSKØBING

WINTER ON ÆRØ IS THE SEASON FOR REFLECTION

The warm sea around the island means that winter comes later to Ærø than to mainland Denmark Winter on Ærø is the season for reflection and even without snow and ice, the island provides the sweetest backdrop for your winter holiday This is the place to step back from your sometimes hectic everyday life and allow yourself to slip into the warm embrace of island life, comfort and togetherness There are no pressing deadlines here Relax your shoulders and breathe deeply .

And before you say that this is something you can do everywhere, we dare to claim that it’s a little different on an island It has something to do with the ferry As you sail across the water, you can already feel the stress and pressure start relaxing its grip on you Spend the winter on Ærø, making time for yourself Go for a walk in the countryside, treat yourself to a massage or a dip in a hot tub with a view of the sea; enjoy the quiet and a couple of hours’ fishing Ærø has it all

Hvad er det, der gør en ø til noget særligt? Ifølge Jacques Berg ligger det hele i ankomst og afrejse. Ingenting bliver helt som før, når man har været på en ø og mærket den parakdoksale frihed indenfor det begrænsede område, som øen er...

Køb, læs og nyd de smukke illustrationer i denne lille bog, hvor Jacques Berg sammenstiller Ærø med den lille franske ø Yeu, og finder at lig hederne er større end forskellene.
