Bregninge Kirke is a beautifully placed church on the highest point of the South Islands surrounding Svendborg. On a clear day, the view from the hills is very beautiful, incorporating the majority of the islands in the South Baltic. A climb to the top of the church tower is certainly worth the effort- a breathtaking experience indeed. Highly recommended! And of course the cemetery is beautifully kept- tranquility itself.

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 20 reviews
The oldest part of the Mayor's Yard (Borgmestergården) is from 1601. The building and its additions house the historical museum in Nyborg. In the cobblestoned courtyard, you will see fine examples of old fire trucks, and the entrance to the smithy is also here. You can eat your bag lunch in the courtyard, too, on the tables and benches there.
10. Hans Christian Andersens Childhood Home
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 274 reviews
Andersen recalled his childhood with nostalgic pleasure. From the age of two until he was 14, he grew up in a poor – but also loving – home which provided him with inspiration for many of his fairytales. Come and sense the really special atmosphere of the poet’s spirit in the childhood home. Take a look too at the tiny, fairytale garden.

We enjoyed walking through the rooms furnished at the time of HC’s life. It is part of the entire HC complex of interesting history exhibits.
