In 2020, we \u2013 Christina and Martin Pedersen \u2013 took over Gl. \u00c5lbo Camping, a family-owned campsite run with care, presence, and a deep love for the place. A true water enthusiast and a \u201cmermaid\u201d make the perfect match when running a campsite specialising in diving, angling, and experiences by and on the water. The Little Belt has always been part of our lives, and we have both fallen in love with its unique nature, cultural history, and special atmosphere.<\/p>

We grew up with the Little Belt as our backyard and know the water, the coastline, and the many stories connected to this place. Whether you are looking for peace and quiet, nature experiences, local stories, or simply a relaxing holiday close to the water, we are ready to welcome you and your family.<\/p>

Christina and Martin have previously run a business together and bring experience from the Danish diving industry. Together, we have two daughters, Mathilde and Sofie, who \u2013 just like us \u2013 are a natural part of everyday life at the campsite. For us, Gl. \u00c5lbo is not just a workplace, but our home and a gathering place for both guests and family.<\/p>

Here, you will find calm, space, and warmth \u2013 and hosts who value personal connections and look forward to sharing Gl. \u00c5lbo with you.<\/p>

The Story of Gl. \u00c5lbo<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Already in the Stone Age, people chose the best places to settle, and the area around Gl. \u00c5lbo has attracted life for thousands of years. On the beach at Stenderup Hage, right next to the campsite, you can still find traces from the past, such as stone tools and remnants from flint crafting. This shows that from the early Stone Age until today, people have benefited from this unique location on the Little Belt. In the forests around Gl. \u00c5lbo, cultural traces such as burial mounds, ramparts, and stone monuments testify to continuous human presence over millennia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Today, the area invites visitors to hiking and cycling trips through the state forests, where nature and history go hand in hand. At one point in history, the Danish royal family planted large oak forests intended as raw material for building a mighty war fleet. Over time, these forests lost their strategic significance as shipbuilding shifted to steel, but the traces remain. Some oak trees in the area are over 500 years old, bearing witness to the long history of these woods.

The beautiful and dramatic coastline makes Gl. \u00c5lbo truly special. Here, where the Little Belt narrows, high cliffs rise over the water, offering splendid views of F\u00e6n\u00f8, F\u00e6n\u00f8 Kalv, and the entrance to Kolding Fjord. Nowhere else in Denmark is the water so deep so close to the shore. The deepest point, Marens Hul, reaches 86 meters. The story of the ferrywoman Maren \u2013 strong as a bear \u2013 is still told, who rowed people and goods to F\u00e6n\u00f8. It is said that not all passengers made it ashore gracefully if they had drunk too much or misbehaved along the way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Gl. \u00c5lbo has operated as a campsite since the early 1950s. Even before that, Ellen Beck, a single mother of 11 children, opened her doors to the many fishermen visiting the area. Coffee was always on, and hospitality laid the foundation for what would later become the campsite. It started with a small ice-cream stand, then boat rentals, and eventually a full camping site. Early guests pitched their tents in the meadow, mostly tourists from the Hamburg area. In 1970, the entire Stenderup Peninsula was protected, and Gl. \u00c5lbo received official permission to run the campsite.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Today, Gl. \u00c5lbo Camping is run by Christina and Martin Pedersen, the fourth generation of owners. With great respect for the site’s history and nature, they continue the story of Gl. \u00c5lbo \u2013 a place where coast, culture, and people have been closely connected for generations. In 2027, the campsite celebrates its 75th anniversary \u2013 a wonderful testament to a place that continues to live, evolve, and provide the perfect setting for experiences on the Little Belt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
