The deciduous forest provides wonderful shade, so you can also bask in the sun after swimming.

Stoense church is one of the few churches in the country that has the tower to the east. The church is open during the graveworker's working hours, but is also a nice sight from the outside. It is believed that the church was originally built in the Middle Ages, but it has been extended to the west and has been given vaults in the year 1600. With the rebuilding, the tower was added, built on top of the choir, which is quite unusual. Another unusual thing is that it is not known for sure who built this tower. On the east side of the tower is written the year 1600 and the initials NH and HH, but it is not known exactly to whom these initials belong. At the end of the 1700s, another expansion was made, this time to the north. You can still see various traces of the older characteristics that the church had, e.g. inside you can see remains of the bricked-up north door, and on the walls there are traces of round-arched windows. The church has a carefully carved and beautiful altarpiece with a sacrament scene carved with great ingenuity. All the twelve disciples and Jesus in the middle can be seen, and they all have individual and distinctive features. The church also contains a beautiful pulpit in carved work from around 1635, which depicts the story of Christ. In 1956, the major modernization of the church took place, where several of the church's features were repaired and replaced. After a fire in 2012, Stoense church was closed for 2 years, while it was restored and reopened in 2014. https://www.langeland.dk/langeland/planlaeg-din-tur/stoense-kirke-gdk1077200

This 12m high lighthouse, equipped with a sector light, was built in 1892 and was lit for the first time in December 1893. The first lighthouse keeper at Hou (from 1893 -1914) was Harald Valdemar Octavius Westerman, who was born in Svendborg in 1851. From August 1900 Harald Valdemar’s wife Laurine Dorthea Westermann was also employed as a lighthouse keeper here. In 1907 new lenses and a new light source, an incandescent burner fuelled by petroleum, were installed in the lighthouse. In 1923 it was the first lighthouse in Denmark to be fitted with the “autoform” incandescent burner, which were manufactured in England. Hou Lighthouse was automated between 1949-50, after which time there was no permanent keeper working at the lighthouse. https://www.govisitlangeland.com/langeland/plan-journey/hou-lighthouse-fyr-north-langeland-gdk831239

The tidal range here is very small, so there's a good chance you can walk along the beach dry-footed.

The rain during the night left behind puddles, which are perfect for photos with a mirror effect.

Access to the sea. The beach is a bit rocky, so it's best to wear shoes.

Update 04/2025: The church has been completely restored and boasts a new coat of paint. It looks truly impressive.
