Ristinge Klint and Ristinge Nor

Follow the Ristinge Peninsula around the coast, with a detour into the drained Ristinge Nor.
The hike begins and ends at the parking lot at Bjørnhøj Strand.
Follow the trail across the foreshore and down to the beach. Head inland past the abandoned seaside guesthouse Havblik and follow the trail along the top of the 30-meter-high Ristinge Klint—a geological hotspot in the South Funen Archipelago. Be sure to enjoy the view of Marstal and the rich birdlife of the Baltic Sea.
Continue to the western tip of the peninsula and, if you like, take a detour out to the tail itself (not marked on the map).
Continue along the gravel road toward the east and take the public trail that winds along the dikes on the northern coast.
Cross Ristingevej and walk around Ristinge Nor. Notice the many drainage ditches that have drained the lagoon. Take a short detour to an idyllic bench by the open water in the lagoon—see photo.
Follow the grassy paths back to the parking lot.
