Hiking at sunset

We walk in silence at sunset in the beautiful nature in and around Svanninge Bakker. Here we “bathe” in the special atmosphere of nature just before, during and after sunset. We sense the darkness, the play of colors and the nature that calms down. Along the way, we sit down and look at nature as it takes off in the twilight. Maybe the sun colors the sky red. You are guided to sharpen your attention to what you sense and what it brings to life in you. After that, the experience is expressed when you write a creative text. With you home, you get an immortalized moment in the form of a poem, a tale or a mood picture. Bring: Warm clothes, blanket/mat to sit on, notebook/paper, pencil and possibly a cup of hot drink. Time May 14, 2026, 8:30 p.m. — 10:30 p.m. Deadline for registration is May 13 at 18:00 Tour guide: Tine Døring - Room for Presence & Movement

Lilacs & secrets on South Funen

Lace up the hiking boots and let the pace slow down. With the South Funen Archipelago in the front yard and Svanninge Bakker in the back garden lies Faaborg, one of Denmark's oldest and most beautiful market towns. But Faaborg area is more than Funen's hollyhock. Because when May is at its peak, Lilac Land unfolds with a landscape that smells of spring and is swathed in shades of purple. On this 2-day tour of South Funen you will visit Syrenlandet and not least Geopark The South Funen Archipelago. With Arreskov lake, Håstrup Mountains and Hell's Cave, among others. This is an easy hike. You can walk many hours every day, but there is room to take several breaks along the way so that everyone can join — both those who walk fast and those who take the time. There is full catering and good beds along the way. DAY 1 (May 13)//Welcome to Syrenland Venue Faaborg at 09:00 From the meeting point at the port in Faaborg — there is a shared transport to Håstrup, from where our hike begins. Håstrup is popularly called Denmark's only mountain town — located in the middle of the South Funen mountain range. From Håstrup the tour goes over the Håstrup mountains and we climb the viewpoints Dronningeten and Trebjerg. We enjoy lunch at Trente Mølle. Now we are in the center of the Syrenland. It is in the area around Ny Stenderup and Gl. Stenderup that we will be surrounded by lilac fences and the heavy scent. We cross the road and walk north and east of Arreskov Lake, and come on the way to Corinth, passing Arreskov Castle, among other places. There's almost a state guarantee to experience sea eagles On the stretch. Today's walk ends in Corinth. In Corinth we will be accommodated in the newly renovated part of the Corinth Inn. The inn is the inn of the whole city, and after many years of disrepair - today can welcome us. We get the history of the inn — and a tour of the many plans and projects that the many enthusiasts and volunteers have for the building in the coming years. Dinner and fun. Number of km: 15.5 *Meals: * -/F/A Accommodation: Corinth Inn *DAY 2 (May 14) * After a nice breakfast, and equipped with a good packed lunch, we depart from Corinth in the direction of Gærup and south of Lake Arreskov. Arreskov Lake is the largest lake in Funen and covers 317 hectares. From its eastern shore emanates the Odense Å. Further over Sollerup Enge, where there are the remains of a rampart from the early Middle Ages. We follow Rislebækken into Sollerup forest going directly into Helvedes Hule, into a deep and beautiful gorge, zoned for untouched forest. From here we go through Svanninge Bjerge and climb Lerbjerg (the fourth highest point in Funen, 126 m above sea level) From here you have a great view of much of the archipelago. The area abounds with nature and cultural history that will be told. How did Arreskov Lake come to be, what was hidden in the hellhole and why does Lerbjerg ever shake? We are now onto the Øhavstien trail which we follow south over the Sundbakkerne hills with the amazing view of Faaborg and the Archipelago that meets us. Further along the old fjord — Sundsjön, and then we are back in Faaborg. *Number of km: * 14.5 *Meals: * M/F/-

Circus Grand Danois at Bramstrup

Experience breathtaking circus equilibrism, live music and humour at its most vivid and life-affirming. During Geoparkdagar 2026, the contemporary circus performance Grand Danois will be performed at Bramstrup's amphitheatre. Performance is innovative, touching and at the highest artistic level. A performance for the whole family that will make you laugh, shudder and think. About the Performance We meet a ragtag circus company that lives on the country roads in pursuit of freedom. A life in the smell of sawdust and popcorn, and where home is where the old, worn-out circus wagon is rolled into the ditch for the night. The dream is a real circus tent. Just like in the great abroad! To revisit the greatness of the circus and travel the world to the sound of applause and excitement. But maybe the journey is just as important as the destination? And how high is the price of freedom and community?
