Great halftimbered houses in Svendborg
globetrott Says: On your way to Valdemar's Slot you will pass by some really great halftimbered and straw-thatched houses and a part of them are used as a hotel.It is always great to see such wonderful buildings in the traditional danish rural architecture.
some more side-buildings of Valdemar's Slot
globetrott Says: Valdemar's Slot was built in the bay of Svendborg and surrounded by the sea from 2 sides and in addition there is a lake as well inside the castle-innercourt (see it in my 1st picture) When you walk through the 2nd gate-house you will see the sea of the bay of Svendborg (my...
globetrott Says: These are the 2 gate-houses of Valdemar's Slot. One of them is the entrance for visitors and the other one is now giving access to the beach in the back of the castle and also access to the car-parking for people coming to the restaurant. These gates is only 2,2 meters wide...
globetrott Says: In their brochure they claim that this is the only place on earth, where you will find a restaurant directely under the church. I am quite sure that this is not an unique situation, but who cares, it is an interesting constellation anyway.I did not go to that reastaurant, it...
globetrott Says: Valdemar's Slot is a great castle outside of Svendborg and what-ever you see on this page about this castle you can see free of charge.When you want to see the interior of the palace, you have to pay an entrance-fee and I skipped that simply because photography is totally...
travelfrosch Says: It's just a nice place to wander. Work your way away from the Ærøskøbing ferry dock and explore. No breathtaking sights, but just relaxing surroundings.
Liolio Says: I don't know the name of the church, but the bell ringing here is the most beautiful I have ever heard. It rings at 12 o'clock and it takes not 1 minute as usually, but 5 minutes for sure or even longer. Great melodies.
Liolio Says: The old part of Svendborg is a nice place for a walk. When the shops are working, lot of clothes are taken out, so the streets are much different than in the evening. Walking the streets you will find some small cosy streets, corners, churches and views.
Restaurant Oranje: Enjoy Dinner on this Historic Old Boat
PatriX82 Says: An old Dutch river boat, the "Oranje" is a piece of maritime history. Sit on deck under the canvas roof and enjoy the view of the harbour, or move below deck to the magnificent dining hall.The food is everything from fish to lamb, and comes in generous helpings. A large menu...
to Svendborg & Valdemars Slot by car
globetrott Says: When you have a car it is quite easy to get to Svendborg and/or Valdemar's Slot: You simply take the main-road from Odense, this road is partly even built like a highway and the total drivingtime from Odense is less than 60 minutes.As soon as you arrive at Valdemars Slot you...
travelfrosch Says: Unless you have a car, the best way to get to Ærø is the ferry from Svendborg to Ærøskøbing. Through June 2008, ferries will depart Svendborg Monday-Friday every 3 hours from 07:30 until 22:30. On most weekends, the 07:30 ferry doesn't run. Travel time is approximately 1...
Obak81 Says: There are 6 daily ferries going from Svendborg to Ærøskøbing (4-5 in the weekends).The current prices (december 2006) are:Adult DKR 92/149 (single/roundtrip).Car 201/332.Other combinations can be see on the shipping companys homepage.The ferry departs from a dock near the...
Obak81 Says: There is a line operating from Odense to Svendborg. There are trains on a regular basis, and compared to the average danish regional trains they are of quite good standard.
Liolio Says: There is nothing special about shops in Svendborg. Souvenir, clothes and alike shops are in the center of the city, the furniture, food and other bigger shops are mostly located quite far from the center. The special thing about Svendborg (or even Denmark in general) - there...
Liolio Says: Don't leave your car for a long time unattended in Svendborg. Sometimes the thieves may crash your car window and steal the players or your own things. It is ok for a day or several, but this may happen during a night if your car stood in the same place for some time...
Tranekær Slot - just 15km from Svendborg
globetrott Says: Tranekær Slot is another castle close to Svendborg. I have been there several times and unfortunately this castle is off-limits for visitors, but at least you can take a walk in the castle-park. The windmill of Tranekær was under restauration, when I visited it last time in...
Egeskov castle is just 15km from Svendborg
globetrott Says: Egeskov castle is just 15km from Svendborg and it is not only one of the most beautiful castles of Danmark,but you find there also an excellent carmuseum, the Falck-museum of firefighting, a maze, a treehouse and a lot more attractions for all of the family.Titania's Palace...
Liolio Says: Sailing is probably the most popular activity in Svendborg (in summer of course). Although if you want to have some sport during the other time of a year you can go to the sport clubs (there are around 4 sport clubs, but I should say all of them not so nice) or a swimming...
RogerW1nz Says: The Bowling centre in Svendborg is very new and modern looking.
travelfrosch Says: While we were waiting, several sailboats passed by. It made for a pleasant diversion while sitting at the dock.

Valdemars Slot is an interesting castle a bit outside of Svendborg. It is a pity that photography was forbidden INside the castle !

Svendborg is quite far south on the island of Funen, which makes it an ideal starting point for ferries to the smaller islands. The town itself is quite picturesque, and is not a bad place at all to...
