Leaving the pier in Fredericia, we will cross the new belt bridge to the island of Funen. Here you will drive along Strandvejen to the village of Strib . What was once a ferry stop on the road from Copenhagen to Jutland is now the perfect stop for you to enjoy a direct view of your cruise ship. Your guide will fill you in on the history of this quaint little town as you enjoy the breeze from the sea and the opportunity to take a photo of the cruise pier in Fredericia.

The tour will then continue to the old fisher village of Middelfart and the peninsula of Hindsgavl with its enclosed deerpark and the small castle , of the same name. From here, the tour continues back to Jutland where you will drive through the landscape and pass the villages of Skærbæk and Taulov where , we visit the old medieval church, which underwent a total renovation in 1999. The old church interior now features a splendid array of colourful art in bright, warm surroundings. The church’s ornamentation and 70 paintings are the work of artist Arne L. Hansen. Its tower used to serve as a navigation mark. The church affords a magnificent view across Kolding fjord to Skamlingsbanken .
On our return to Fredericia, you will pass by the vast Carlsberg Breweries, the world’s fourth largest brewery and founded in Denmark. Fredericia has been the home of all production of Carlsberg products in Denmark since 2008 and the town prides itself on housing the world famous brand. On our return to Fredericia, you will have the chance to visit the ramparts and tour the small inner town. The perpendicular streets and the many old houses bear clear witness to Fredericia’s past as a fortified town. You will see the statue of the Brave Soldier, erected in 1858 to commemorate the private soldier after the vigorous battle of Fredericia in 1849.
Before you return to the pier, you are invited to enjoy a refreshment of coffee and cake at a local café. You can then chose to walk back to the ship or board the coach and return to the pier.
