What you'll do
Welcome by the guide at the port, who will be waiting for you, identified with a SHORE2SHORE sign.
Leaving the pier in Fredericia, we will cross the New Bridge of the Little Belt towards the island of Funen. Here we will drive through Strandvejen to the village of Strib. This location was once a ferry stop on the way from Copenhagen to Jutland and it is now the perfect stop to enjoy a direct view of your cruise ship. Our guide will tell us the history of this picturesque little town while we enjoy the sea breeze and the opportunity to take a few photos of the cruise ship pier in Fredericia.
We will then continue our tour to the old fishing village of Middelfart and the Hindsgavl peninsula with its deer parks and the small castle with the same name. From here, the tour continues back to Jutland, where we will see the landscapes, pass through the villages of Skærbæk and Taulov and visit an old medieval church which was completely renovated in 1999. The interior of the old church now presents a splendid variety of colorful art in a warm and bright setting. The church ornamentation and the 70 paintings are the work made by Arne L. Hansen. The tower used to serve as a navigation guide. The church offers a magnificent view across the Kolding Fjord to Skamlingsbanken.
On our way back to Fredericia, we will pass the Carlsberg Brewery, the fourth largest brewery in the world founded in Denmark. Fredericia has been home to all Carlsberg products production in Denmark since 2008 and the city is proud to be home to the world famous brand.
Once back in the City, we will have the opportunity to visit the walls and tour the small inner town. The perpendicular streets and the number of old houses are a clear testimony to Fredericia's past as a fortified city. We will see the statue of the infantryman, erected in 1858 to commemorate the military privates after the Battle of Fredericia in 1849.
Before returning to the port, we will stop to rest and/or have a coffee and cakes in a local cafe (not included). Then we can return to the dock by bus or take a ride on our own to the ship.
