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

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.
