Northern Langeland
The main sight in northern Langeland is Tranekær. Lohals, at the island's northern tip, has
facilities and beaches nearby, but it's not as charming as Tranekær and the southern
beaches are better.
Sights
Tranekær Slot
CASTLE
The little village of Tranekær stretches between its church and the salmon-coloured
Tranekær Slot, which has been in the hands of one family since 1659 (there's been a forti-
fication here since the 13th century). The castle's interior is only open to the public on
tours conducted over two weeks in July (see the website) - but the grounds are open daily
and known as Tickon.
Tickon
GARDEN
(Tranekær International Centre for Art & Nature; adult/child Dkr25/free; sunrise-sunset)
The wooded grounds of Tranekær Slot are home to the magical Tickon, a collection of out-
door art installations. You can wander around the lake and arboretum, inhabited by a herd
of red deer. There are surprises round every corner: a unicorn's horn sprouts in a glade, a
river of tree trunks floods down a hillside. There are 19 sculptures to enjoy, and the fun is
finding them in the landscape.
