Faxe

Travel back in time at Faxe Kalkbrud Limestone Quarry, ride through the countryside on the back of an Icelandic horse and climb in the treetops at Camp Adventure.

When you visit Faxe in South Zealand, you'll find a wide range of options for exploring nature however it suits your fancy! Visit Camp Adventure, where you can get in touch with your inner Tarzan and climb trees, wander over rope suspension bridges or glide through the verdant treetops on the zip line. If you wind up feeling a little dizzy after all that, you can recuperate at the Faxe Kalkbrud Limestone Quarry, where the Faxe Geology Museum offers a fascinating look at a bygone era - a staggering 63 million years ago - when Denmark lay submerged under the North Sea. Adventurous adults and kids can embark on a fossil hunt in the otherworldly landscape of the quarry, which is teeming with petrified corals and strange marine life from the nascent days of Earth's primordial past.

If you still haven't had your fill of fresh air after that, but maybe feel like your feet might need a bit of a break, take a guided horseback ride on the back of an Icelandic horse at the HippoXplore Equestrian Centre. It's a wonderfully relaxing way to take in the incredible scenery of the Feddet Peninsula and the Praesto Fjord. There's also a lovely sandy beach here that lures beach-goers and divers alike with its azure blue waters. Or if you prefer "pedal power" to horsepower, you're sure to enjoy a bike ride on the popular Panoramaruten Trail, which winds through the pretty countryside of Faxe on its way from Berlin to Copenhagen. Perfect for both gung-ho solo cyclists and leisurely rides with the family in tow.

For some cultural stimulation during your weekend stay in Faxe, take a step back in time at the Renaissance-era Gisselfeld Kloster Monastery, which was first built in the 16th century. The grounds are home to the Paradehuset Orangery - a botanical world full of exotic flora that will make you think you've left Denmark and arrived in a lush, tropical paradise. There's also a charming, well-kept tea salon here that serves delicious Danish pastries. Continue to soak up history by dropping in at the Faxe Church, whose 15th century late-Gothic style is a reminder of the diverse historical forces that shaped the area.

Adventure-filled days await you when you book a holiday in Faxe. Whether sailing through treetops, charting a path of scientific discovery or enriching your mind at the local cultural and historic attractions, Faxe offers something for everyone!
