Boat ferry: Afternoon sailing on the Little Belt
*Go on an exciting tour of the Little Belt with the Bågöferry. *
Experience a vivid narrative of history, told by Museum Vestfyn over the ferry's loudspeaker. It tells of the ferry's function as a main thoroughfare across the Little Belt - and thus a bridge builder, between the capital and the duchies until 1864. The loss of Southern Jutland then turned the Little Belt into a barrier rather than a bridge. The ferry crossing was established again after reunification in 1920, when South Jutland became Danish again and thus the catchment area for Assens. The crossing was in use until 1972. Also get answers as to why the ferry crossing stopped in 1972. There is also an exhibition on the ferry that can be explored.
You may not buy food and drink on board - but in return, you are allowed to bring some catering for the trip. **
Maybe you guys are lucky to see guinea pigs and/or seals? Dogs are also welcome on board, on a leash or cage/bag.

*A little bit about Bågø: * Bågø is a small island located in the Little Belt, about half an hour's sailing from Assens. Bågø can be windswept and sometimes has a harsh climate in winter, but an idyllic island when spring announces its arrival. There is plenty of nature that can give peace and harmony to the nature lover who can easily get several days to walk on Bågø.
