The Marguerite Route on North Funen is an invitation to take the scenic detour. Here, the journey itself becomes the destination as you follow the brown signs along small, cosy roads winding through the landscape around Langesø and further into North Funen.
You set the pace – drive the full route or choose your favourite sections. Along the way, you’ll find everything from sweeping views to hidden stops where you can enjoy the calm. All you have to do is follow the flower and let the road lead you to experiences you won’t find on the main road.
