North of Tranekær, where the landscape shifts from open fields to dense forest, the Manor Route winds through the peaceful area around Pæregård and Åsø Forest. Here, nature and culture go hand in hand, with traces of manor farming and forestry stretching back hundreds of years.
Pæregård stands as a quiet testament to Langeland’s agricultural history. Although the farm no longer functions as a manor in the traditional sense, it still bears the marks of its past with solid buildings and a location that reflects its former status and purpose.
Right next to it lies Åsø Forest – a mixed deciduous woodland with old trees, damp hollows, and small paths inviting you to a tranquil walk. The forest was once part of Tranekær’s manor landscape and used for hunting and firewood, but today it is a recreational area where nature is allowed to develop at its own pace.
The journey through Pæregård and Åsø Forest is a sensory experience, where you can hear the birds, smell the damp scent of the forest, and feel the presence of history in the landscape. A perfect place to take a break, enjoy the silence, and let your thoughts wander.
