Inventory of Nørre Bjert Church The church's furnishings date predominantly from the 19th century, with the exception of an early Gothic crucifix from 1300, which hangs in the nave north of the chancel arch. The church's baptismal font is carved from granite and decorated with various reliefs, including a dove, plants, and a cross. The altarpiece dates from 1932 and consists of a gilded painting of the Ascension of Christ set in a frame whose corners are adorned with small paintings representing the symbols of the four Evangelists—an angel, an eagle, a lion, and an ox. The pulpit, dating from 1939, is set in a niche with passages leading from the chancel and is decorated with a colorful relief depicting the shepherds adoring the newborn Jesus.

Nørre Bjert Church, built in 1887, is a striking whitewashed village church designed by J.C. Fussing and later remodeled to resemble the Parisian Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Inside, it features a beautiful altarpiece painted by J. Th. Skovgaard in 1930, a rare 13th-century crucifix, and a granite baptismal font with symbolic carvings. The church seats around 150 and serves as both a place of worship and a vibrant cultural hub, hosting community dinners, film nights and philosophy talks. Perched on a hill with views of the surrounding countryside, it has been the heart of Nørre Bjert Parish since 1924.

Construction of the bridge began in 1925 and was completed in 1935. With its inauguration in 1935, the ferry crossing between Snoghøj and Snoghøj ended. For many years, the old Little Belt Bridge was part of Denmark's most important east-west route. The old Little Belt Bridge is still one of the most important means of transport for railway traffic between Jutland, Funen, and Zealand. From here, you can take great photos of the sunset 🌇.

Great section! But a bit boring

This stretch through the forest is reasonably dark even during the day, so a piece of advice is to have the lights on here.

Good stretch. When you come from Taulov, it goes down a bit before you hit the hill, which is pretty steep and with a few curves.
