Introducing Ærø

Ærø is one of the most enchanting of all the islands of the south Fyn archipelago with a gentle coastline and an interior of rolling green hills, patchworked with fields and farmsteads. The winding country roads are punctuated with thatched houses, old windmills, ancient passage graves and dolmens. Most of the villages are to be found on the coast. There are some good, small beaches, one of the best being Risemark Strand on the southern tip of the 30km long island; it’s a great place to tour by bicycle.
