Sights & Activities
Naturama MUSEUM
(www.naturama.dk; Dronningemaen 30; adult/under 18yr 100kr/free; 10am-4pm Tue-Sun mid-Jan–late Nov, to 5pm school holidays) Naturama natural-history museum is in an impressive spiral building with displays of stuffed animals and skeletons on three levels. Whale bones dominate the basement, Scandinavian mammals lurk on the middle floor, while birds from the tiny Pallas’ leaf warbler to the golden eagle float on a balcony above it all. There’s state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and regular film shows and a good hands-on section where you can stroke a mole, draw a wolf or dress up in skins.
Anne Hvides Gård MUSEUM
(Fruestræde 3; 11am-3pm Tue-Sun mid-Jun–mid-Aug) The oldest house in Svendborg, dating from 1560, is Anne Hvides Gård, a bumblebee-coloured structure that leans tipsily to one side. Its basic collection of local archaeological finds is labelled in Danish, but pop in if you’re passing to see the strangest item: a 14th-century wooden statue of the four-faced god Svantevit.
Forsorgsmuseet Viebæltegård MUSEUM
(www.svendborgmuseum.dk, in Danish; Grubbemøllevej 13; adult/under 18yr 40kr/free; 10am-4pm Tue-Sun May-Sep, 1-4pm Tue-Sun Oct-Apr) Forsorgsmuseet Viebæltegård is Denmark’s only poorhouse and workhouse museum. It’s unusual – we’d certainly never seen a lice box before – and on Wednesday in high summer you can even sample poorhouse food. About a third of the information is in English.
Islands ISLANDS
Three small islands, Drejø, Skarø and Hjortø, lie to the southwest of Svendborg and are pleasant escapes for those who dream of people-lite landscapes surrounded by lapping waves. They mainly attract yachties and ornithologists, drawn by large numbers of breeding sea birds. Camping is allowed at designated sites. Drejø has a restaurant and grocery shop, while Skarø has a small food shop and a snack bar. Car-free Hjortø has no facilities – bring a picnic. For information on getting to the islands, Click here.
Gorilla Park ADVENTURE SPORTS
(www.gorillapark.dk, in Danish; adult/child 8-12yr/child 4-7yr 245/195/75kr; 10am-6pm Apr-end Oct) Release your inner primate and go ape at this adrenaline-fuelled high-ropes adventure park. White knuckles are guaranteed on the Tarzan swings, zipwires, high-rope scrambles, base jumping and stomaching-lurching BMX bridges. No climbing experience is necessary, although a head for heights helps. Gorilla Park is about 5km north of Svendborg. Take route 44 out of town and then take a right onto Stagerupvej.
Maritimt Center Danmark SAILING
(www.maritimt-center.dk; Havnepladsen 2; cruises adult/child from 270/170kr; Thu & Fri Jul & Aug) In high summer, the Maritimt Center Danmark runs cruises on the historic wooden sailing ship Meta, and there’s often pirate-related fun for kids – contact the centre for details. Another vintage ship is the M/S Helge, which sails in Svendborg Sound – Click here. While you’re down at the harbour, look for Sejlskibsbroen, a jetty lined with splendidly preserved sailing ships opposite where the Ærø ferry docks.
