Historical idyll on the southwest Funen peninsula
Gl. Avernæs is located on a peninsula between the Little Belt and Helnæs Bay - right where the South Funen Archipelago begins. The hotel is far off the beaten track, and Gl. Avernæs is an obvious place to meet for learning, contemplation and pampering.
Nature is at your feet, and in the park, in the grove or on the calm waters of Helnæs Bay, you have plenty of opportunity to include nature in your event. Enjoy the surroundings, unfold your creative skills, fill your lungs with fresh air - and taste South Funen.
As I said, we are far from the beaten track, but we are far from isolated. The E20 can be reached in half an hour, the town of Assens, which offers a wealth of art and culture, is located a short block from Gl. Avernernæs' towers and half-timbered buildings.
Distance: 15 min. by car
Assens is a town full of art and life, and today appears as a well-preserved market town with many historic buildings and smaller urban environments that contribute to the story of the old market town. Today, the city offers a wealth of experiences all year round. From the Apple and Mussel Festival to concerts and exhibitions. For example, become an experience richer at one of Museum Vestfyn's various exhibitions in the city.
With more than 50 specialty shops, you will also find what you need in the city's pedestrian street.
