Tips
Slipshavn is first mentioned in 1446 and served as a natural harbor until 1656/57. The fortification was the basis for the ships patrolling the Great Belt. In 1843 a customs building was built in Slipshavn fortress and is now a listed building. From 1883 a railway line ran from Nyborg via Knudshoved to Slipshaven, but it was only in operation for a few decades. In 1956 the Navy Home Guard took over Slipshavn. Today the area with its buildings is used as administration, course center and accommodation for the students. As this is a military area, access is restricted.
