Assens is a charming town on the west coast of Funen, an island in the heart of Denmark. It has a rich history as a ferry port and a trading hub between Copenhagen and Hamburg. You can explore its old town with its half-timbered houses, churches, and museums, or enjoy the scenic views of the Little Belt, a strait that separates Funen from Jutland. If you are feeling adventurous, you can take the ferry to the tiny island of Bågø, where you can experience the rural life of Denmark. You can also rent a rail cycle and pedal along the old railway tracks that connect Assens with Tommerup, a town on the main line to Copenhagen. Assens is a perfect destination for those who love nature, culture, and history.
