Baagø is a small island in the Little Belt, a 30-minute boat ride from Assens. Baagø is sometimes windswept and the environment can be harsh in winter, but it’s an idyllic island when spring arrives. The abundant natural areas offer peace and quiet for nature lovers, who can easily enjoy several days on Baagø.
Baagø is situated in an EU bird protection and Ramsar area, offering fine opportunities for birdwatching. In the spring of 2003, two birdwatching hides were set up for this purpose. Fine walking and cycling trips are also possible on Baagø.
In the village of Bagø at Prinsehøjsvej 8 is “Hestestalden” (the Horse Stables), which has a coffee machine and an area where you can eat your packed lunch. Coffee, ice cream and other items are sold here.
The room can seat 80 people.
Hestestalden is open from 1 April to 1 November.
There’s a sign by the road and over the door.
It also contains a small local museum displaying old agricultural tools used on Baagø, which has changing exhibitions.
