Description

Small ferry and island harbor on the southwest coast of Femø, one of the most popular destinations in the Småland fairway.

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach is possible day and night. At night, however, the approach requires greater navigational care due to the unlit fairway.

From the northwest, enter Femø Sound at 140° and keep the Vejrø light astern on the boundary between the red and green sectors. At the level of the unlit red buoy (WP 376), turn into the leading light of Femø (2 F.G) at 096°, which marks the channel buoyed on one side (target depth 3m).

Anchorage: Good anchorage west of the harbor at approx. 2.5m, well protected in northerly and easterly winds.

Berths

Yachts are moored in the western or eastern basin at a water depth of 1.5 - 2.8m.

The ferry jetty may not be used by pleasure craft.

Surroundings

In addition to fuel and modern sanitary facilities, there is a merchant at the harbor and a local doctor.

There is a ferry connection to Kragenæs.

NV Land Guide

Femø was first mentioned in Valdemar Sejr's land register in 1231 as Fymø, which means foam. However, three large stone graves in Nørreby prove that the island has been inhabited since time immemorial. Belt buckles, arm rings and necklaces from the Stone Age discovered in the fields and meadows are proof of the early settlement, which lasted until a raid by the Wends. The pirates ravaged the island to such an extent that it remained uninhabited for years afterwards. Only gradually did farmers settle again. Femø became a royal estate.

The island consists of a hilly moraine landscape, the highest point of which is the 22-metre-high Issemoseberg. It is divided into two halves by a drained valley. The villages of Nørreby and Sønderby are the centers of the two parts of the island. The island's houses used to be located exclusively in these two villages. All paths therefore lead to Nørreby and Sønderby in a star shape.

The network of paths on the small island area is characterized by a special variety of paths. Moorland, agriculture and fruit plantations characterize the island. The bogs such as Østemose, Bastemose and Langemose are surrounded by trees.

Two roads lead from the harbor on the west coast of the island to the two island villages, the north-eastern road leads to Nørreby and the south-western road to Sønderby. On the way to Sønderby, you pass the church built in 1527, whose lime paintings are well worth a look. A baptismal font from the 13th century, a pulpit from 1580 and a crucifix from around 1200 are further sights of the church.

In the past, horses were tethered to the rings outside the church before the service.

Sønderby is situated on hilly terrain and offers a beautiful view over Nørreby and the northern parts of the island. The village's gems are the old farms. The island valley Bækkenet leads from Sønderby to Nørreby in the north. The inn in the north of the village was already serving guests in 1534. The Højriis Gallery has a café garden. The village pond of Nørreby is the last remnant of the drained Bækkenet fjord, which was once even used by sailing ships. The earliest settlements on the island were grouped around this village pond.

The Krugesten on the path from Nørreby to the harbour is a memorial stone to the visits of King Christian X in 1933, 1936 and 1939.

Increasingly, the 1138-hectare island with 15 kilometers of coastline is being discovered by pensioners as a retirement home. They already account for 35 percent of the total population. During the season, they are joined by holidaymakers who spend their vacations mainly in the vacation home areas on the island's eastern beach.

There is a store in Nørreby, a supermarket and a grocer in Sønderby. There is a kiosk at the harbor.

Comments

Die Tankstelle wurde kürzlich erneuert: Selbstbedienung und GTL-Diesel.

Virsicht, wenn die große Fähre - zu erkennen an der Aufschrift Kragenaes-Fejö- am Anleger liegt. Dann ist von einem Ein- oder Auslaufen wegen des Schraubenwassers DRINGEND abzuraten.

Es gibt hier einen kleinen aber feinen Sandstrand, der ganz flach ins Wasser geht. Im Norddorf findet man eine offene Kinderwerkstatt, wo man mit Holz werkeln kann. Der Høker am Hafen ist zwar relativ groß, wird aber offenbar selten beliefert, Gemüse ist zur Zeit rar. Andere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten haben wir in den Dörfern nicht gefunden. Tanken nur in Absprache möglich.

Sehr schöner Aufenthaltsraum mit Küchenzeile im Gebäude bei der Tankstelle

WC und Dusche an der Nordostecke des Hafens gibt es nicht mehr.

Die Insel ist gut mit dem Fahrrad zu erkunden. Kleiner Einkaufsladen, Tankstelle und Imbiss am Hafen. Restaurant im Ort. Duschen und WC sind OK. Wer allerdings seine Ruhe sucht ist hier fehl am Platz.

Sehr gemütlicher Hafen. Sehr netter Hafenmeister . Bezahlung über Harba App für ältere Leute etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Toller Service beim Dorfkrug. Einfach anrufen, und man wird mit Fahrservice zum Essen und wieder zurück zum Hafen gefahren. Das Essen war ausgesprochen gut. Die Telefonnummer steht im Hafen.

Die Insel ist wirklich sehenswert und prima per Fahrrad zu entdecken. Wermutstropfen ist, dass die Beschreibung oben nicht mehr ganz stimmt. In keinem der beiden Orte gibt es einen Kaufmannsladen, geschweige denn einen Supermarkt. Der Kiosk am Hafen ist dafür aber ein Laden, in dem man alles, was man so für den täglichen Bedarf braucht, bekommt.

Good facilities. Payment through smartphone app Harba. Only one grocery on the island, 'Havnehoekeren' at the harbour, with a limited selection of products.
