Storms Pakhus is a fantastic gathering place that fosters social life and creativity.

The Funen Village (Den Fynske Landsby)

Take a trip back in time to The Funen Village, a historical museum with a focus on sustainability. Let your curiosity awaken and learn more about both the past and the future. You can encounter the village's livestock in various places on the premises - these animals are indispensable for the village, which is self-sufficient as they are used to cultivate crops in a time without fossil fuels. After experiencing the cozy village, you can let the children loose in the "Children's Village," where they can play with fun physical activities.

Svanninge Bakker

In beautiful surroundings near Faaborg lies Svanninge Bakker, which has been protected since 1953 and is described as the Funen Alps. It is the largest contiguous forest area, providing ample opportunities for play, immersion, and undulating landscapes. Additionally, there is abundant plant life, with plenty of insects, beetles, butterflies, and more. If you're lucky, you might spot the rare dormouse, which lives in the forest undergrowth.
