Just a little south of Assens is the small island Tor\u00f8 or Thor\u00f8 (There are divided opinions about the spelling, so we continue with Tor\u00f8.) Today, the island is landlocked with Funen, so we can always discuss whether it should be called an island. Tor\u00f8 is owned by the Danish Teachers' Association, but there is public access to the island. Before we describe more about Tor\u00f8, however, we need to start somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have set our GPS to S\u00f8ndre Ringvej 20, 5610 Assens, where we find a nice parking space for our car. The car park is directly opposite Assens Sukkerfabrik<\/a>, built in 1884. With its location by the harbor, by the railway and K\u00e6rum river for many years, the sugar factory was a large and important workplace for Assens and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start out by walking along the now disused railway, and are not tempted to take The rail bikes<\/a>, which can be used all the way from Assens to Tommerup St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
