The first Skovlyst restaurant was built in 1926 by farm owner Jens Andersen. He was interested in astronomy and built the 18-meter-high tower behind the restaurant in 1935. A telescope was placed at the top. Today, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Svanninge Bakker from the tower. The five floors house an exhibition on the natural and cultural history of Svanninge Bakker. https://www.visitfaaborg.de/faaborg/plan-your-holiday/viewpoint-tower-svanninge-bakker-gdk1105505

November 19, 2024, Lerbjerg Summit

Lerbjerg is the fourth highest point on Funen and is located in the Svanninge Mountains nature reserve, which is owned by the Bikuben Foundation. Lerbjerg is 126 meters high, and from the hill there is a fantastic view over South Funen and the South Funen archipelago. Lerbjerg is located on Øhavsstien and the Under the Ice route and is easiest to reach from the Svanninge Bjerge car park, with access from Nyborgvej Route 8. https://www.visitfaaborg.de/faaborg/urlaub-planen/lerbjerg-gdk1135686

The hilly landscape of Svanninge Bjerge was formed at the end of the last ice age. Traces of it are also large stones that can be found in the area. They were "carried" here frozen in the glacier. Looking more closely at their composition, specific locations in Norway, Sweden or the Baltic States can be traced.

What a beautiful walk with heights, meadows, fields, forest. We were at a time when we could pick delicious wild raspberries and morello cherries. To enjoy.

At this spot the painter Fritz Syberg found the motif for one of his most famous works – “Aftenleg i Svanninge Bakker”.

A restaurateur built the 18 meter high stargazing tower behind the restaurant in 1935. Today you can enjoy a great view of Svanninge Bakker from the tower.
