UNESCO Global Geopark South Fyn Archipelago

UNESCO Global Geopark The South Funen Archipelago was created over 10,000 years ago when the melting ice caps of the Ice Age raised the sea level and formed the unique landscape of 55 islands and islets. The unique geology has shaped the life of the area with island life, seafaring and agriculture, which continues to evolve.

"Denmark fragments into numerous pretty islands. There’s often a wholesome, nostalgic Famous Five-style atmosphere at play. Ærø and Langeland are the largest and best-known islands; ferries to the archipelago run from the towns of Svendborg, Fåborg and Rudkøbing."
