The border between Kattegat and Odense Fjord is made by Enebærodde. The tongue of land was made in the Glacial Age whereas the Fjordlandscape is partly created by man.

During the 19th century great farm areas were developed by embankments. Wind mills were used to pump the water from the new farm areas, some of these can still be seen, e.g. at Egensedybet.

From Enebærodde you have a view to Fyns Hoved and Samsø – in the Fjord to the Lindø Ship Yard, Denmark’s largest ship yard, and to the power plant producing electricity and heating to most of Funen.

The 5.5 km long and 300 ha big tongue of land is the biggest moor area of Funen covered by Juniper scrub. This gives the tongue its name (enebær=juniper). A large population of vipers is found on Enebærodde. The area is a sanctuary which can be reached only on foot or by bike. Park your car at the P-lot at Halshusene and enjoy a couple of hours in the nature.

In the middle of the tongue of land you’ll find Martinegården, used by scouts as a summer camp.
At Gabet you will find the 14 m high light house, which is now automatically operated, and therefore the light-house-keepers’ house is unoccupied.

Gabet is 400 m broad. The coast falls sharply to a depth of 18 m, which means that even the newbuilt super tankers from the Lindø Ship Yard are able to pass through the narrow water.

The redoubts at the end of the tongue are remains of the defence of Funen like at Sprogø and Romsø. They were used for the last time during the war with the British 1807-14.

With its varying sea floor with sand banks at the Kattegat side and deep water near the coast at Gabet, Enebærodde is especially suitable for fishing. Good trout fishing from March until winter. Good chances for cod and possibilities for fly fishing.
