The facility is equipped with showers and restrooms and is ideal for a spontaneous cool-off after a hike or a stroll through the city. Whether sunbathing, splashing around, or simply enjoying the view – the harbor bath is a place that exudes a summer mood and underlines Faaborg's charm.

Faaborg Harbor is located in the heart of the South Funen Archipelago, in what is probably the most attractive sailing waters in Denmark. Just off the harbor are a series of beautiful islands that invite you to sail in calm waters. The cozy and atmospheric harbor was established at the end of the 17th century and is still an active harbor for commercial vessels and fishermen. Ferries to Lyø-Avernakø and the small island of Bjørnø chug into the harbor. The harbor is home to both beautiful old wooden ships and sailboats of all sizes. International cruise ships are relatively new to Faaborg. The first American luxury cruiser docked in Faaborg in 2011, and since then, many guests have flocked to this small town. Faaborg Harbor is located almost in the center of this charming old town. ``` Here you'll find a wide range of restaurants, cafés, and shops – all close to the harbor. https://www.havneguide.dk/de/havn/faaborg-havn

The Whale Tail came to Faaborg in connection with the opening of the harbor baths in May 2014. Tommy "Topsvejs" Hansen and Benny "Boomsterk" Rasmussen ensured that it was placed decoratively near the harbor baths in the middle of the night. In a short time, the townspeople adopted the Whale Tail and recognized it as one of the city's landmarks. Just as suddenly as it had appeared, it disappeared in September 2019. "The Real Faaborg" and the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn have since worked together to bring the Whale Tail back to the city and on April 3, 2020, the Whale Tail was lowered back into the water in its usual location. The sculpture weighs 10.5 tons Width: approximately 6 meters Height: 4.5 meters The tail itself is made of aluminum and has a concrete base. https://www.visitfaaborg.dk/faaborg/planlaeg-din-tur/hvalhalen-faaborgs-andet-vartegn-gdk1117543

The history of Holstenshuus Castle goes back over 700 years, it was first mentioned in 1314 under the name Findstrupgaard. The first stately half-timbered building was erected in 1579 where the manor house is today. Through changing owners, the property came into the possession of the Holsten family in 1707, and it has been family-owned for over 300 years. After several conversions, the building was hit by a severe fire in 1908 and had to be renovated. https://holstenshuus.dk/fakta-og-historie
