Gamborg Fjord

Gamborg Fjord extends along the southern coastline of western Funen, forming a natural water inlet bordered by the Fønsskov peninsula.

During the late Mesolithic period, the fjord supported settlements of the Ertebølle culture, where inhabitants primarily engaged in fishing and oyster gathering.

From 1593 until 1892, a privileged guild of 30 men in 10 boats conducted systematic porpoise hunting operations around the fjord waters.

The wetland project Føns Vang, established in 2006, provides opportunities for bird watching across 113 hectares of protected natural area.

The fjord's stagnant waters created layers of gyttja over ancient settlements, preserving wooden, bone, and flint artifacts with perfect conservation rates.
