Rural hilltop lookout above South Funen, where gentle “Alps”, island-dotted sea and open farmland meet at a simple, wind-swept spot called the Queen’s View.
Trebjerg – Dronningeudsigten is a rural viewpoint near Håstrup outside Faaborg, offering sweeping vistas over rolling fields, the South Funen Archipelago and the low “Alps of Funen”.

A quiet hill above fields and sea
Trebjerg – Dronningeudsigten sits on a gentle rise in the countryside west of Faaborg, where farm fields suddenly give way to big skies and long views. From the small gravel area at Stenlund, the land falls away towards the South Funen Archipelago, a scatter of green islands in the blue of the Little Belt. The setting feels intimate rather than wild: hedgerows, patches of woodland and the occasional red-roofed farmhouse punctuate the landscape. The name “Dronningeudsigten”, the Queen’s View, hints at the sense of panorama here. On a clear day you can pick out the silhouettes of Lyø, Avernakø and other islands, while the undulating terrain behind you forms part of the so‑called Funen Alps, one of Denmark’s most hilly regions. It is a reminder that this otherwise gentle island can still surprise with its contours.The Trebjerg summit and Funen’s modest ‘mountain’
From the viewpoint area a short network of paths leads further up towards Trebjerg itself, rising to around 128 m above sea level. That elevation may sound modest, but on Funen it is enough to make Trebjerg the island’s third-highest point. The approach winds between fields and small copses, and the climb is gradual, making it accessible to most walkers with reasonable mobility. At or near the top, the view widens again. Here the curves of the Funen Alps are easier to appreciate, and the pattern of islands and peninsulas to the south becomes more intricate. The sense of height is accentuated by the open slopes and the often-brisk coastal wind, giving this little hill a distinctly upland character in an otherwise low-lying country.Facilities for picnics, pauses and contemplation
Despite its rural feel, Dronningeudsigten is simply but thoughtfully equipped. Sturdy wooden picnic tables with benches invite you to linger over lunch or coffee while you watch the light shift across fields and sea. A fixed telescope lets you zoom in on distant farmsteads, passing ships or the outlines of the islands, adding a touch of playful discovery for adults and children alike. Information boards describe the local geography and nature, helping you make sense of the view and understand how ice age forces created the rolling hills now called the Funen Alps. Trash bins encourage you to leave the area as you found it, and the relatively level parking surface makes this a straightforward stop for cars and smaller campervans. At busy times, visitors share the space between those pausing for a short photo stop and others heading out on longer walks.Gateway to the Archipelago Trail
Trebjerg – Dronningeudsigten also serves as a stage on the 39 km section of the Archipelago Trail between Faldsled and Fjællebroen, one of Denmark’s best-known coastal hiking routes. Waymarked paths from the viewpoint connect you to stretches of this trail, where you can follow field edges, small roads and woodland tracks with frequent glimpses of the sea. For many walkers, the Queen’s View is both a scenic rest point and a highlight along a day-long hike. Cyclists exploring the backroads west of Faaborg also use the spot as a natural pause, enjoying the chance to step off the saddle, stretch their legs and take in a perspective that is rare in such a flat country.Light, weather and seasons on the hill
The character of Dronningeudsigten changes with the seasons and the weather. On bright summer days the fields glow green and gold, and the islands seem to float on a soft blue haze. In spring the air feels especially clear, sharpening the outlines of distant ridges, while in autumn low sun and morning mist can lend the view an almost atmospheric softness. Wind and clouds are part of the experience. Gusty days make the viewpoint feel exposed and invigorating, with fast-moving shadows racing across the land. Calm evenings, by contrast, can bring a sense of stillness, especially at sunset when the sky over the archipelago turns pastel and the last light lingers on the water. Even brief visits can feel restorative, a chance to stand above the everyday and look outward.A low-key stop with local character
Although facilities are limited, the surrounding area offers small conveniences. The village of Håstrup lies down the hill with a modest local shop, underscoring that this is genuinely lived-in countryside rather than a purpose-built attraction. The viewpoint itself remains delightfully understated: no large buildings, just a parking area, tables, signs and the embrace of open farmland. This mix of simplicity, easy access and expansive views gives Trebjerg – Dronningeudsigten a distinctly local charm. It works equally well as a fifteen-minute detour for a photograph, a lingering picnic spot on a day exploring South Funen, or the scenic high point of a longer hike through one of Denmark’s most quietly beautiful regions.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
