A restaurateur built the 18 meter high stargazing tower behind the restaurant in 1935. Today you can enjoy a great view of Svanninge Bakker from the tower.

The first Skovlyst restaurant was built in 1926 by farm owner Jens Andersen. He was interested in astronomy and built the 18-meter-high tower behind the restaurant in 1935. A telescope was placed at the top. Today, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Svanninge Bakker from the tower. The five floors house an exhibition on the natural and cultural history of Svanninge Bakker.
