Car-free Tunø Tunø is a small natural paradise with a fantastic history and an atmosphere that everyone should experience. A vibrant island community with its own school, grocery shop, amazing eateries, treasure hunt… and a traxi!
Around the island in a traxi
On the car-free island, there is a long tradition of transporting tourists and visitors around the island on the back of a tractor. They call it a traxi!
In the heart of the village, you’ll find the charming little Tunø Church with a unique 18-meter combined church tower and lighthouse. From the top of the tower, you have an amazing panoramic view of the island, and on clear days you can see all the way to the Great Belt (Storebælt) Bridge. You can also enjoy beautiful views on the tall cliffs on the north side of the island and the bird tower on “the mountain”.
Tunø is bustling with life and activity during summer. In the vegetable road stands you can buy fresh potatoes, carrots and crispy green asparagus. The eateries at the harbour and in the village are open late. Only a few steps from the marina, you’ll find the cosy village centre with the local grocer’s and the beach hotel Mejeriet Tunø. Also, make sure you don’t miss out on the restaurant Tunø Smokehouse at the marina, known for its delicious smoked salts and lavish fish dishes.
How can you make children get up early and go for a long walk? You send them on a scavenger hunt around the island of Tunø!
All scavenger hunters can get a free treasure map aboard the ferry. While hiking the 8.3 km walk around the island you must solve a few tasks. When you reach the finish line at the merchant’s house (Tunø Købmandsgård), all hunters will receive a medal.
