South tip of Langeland, Denmark, September 15, 2017

We are two dedicated, hikers working for the extension of the Archipelago trail to include beautiful South Langeland. We have therefore given ourselves the task of describing a hiking route from where it presently so abrupt ends today (Lindelse Nor), via Skovsgård Manor til Bagenkop. We hiked and taken notes and pictures along the way so we have a description ready. We hope that our proposal for a route can help to speed up the difficult process of the extension of the Archipelago trail. And we have experienced some beautiful hikes with many beautiful views of Langeland, the coast and the sea and many good experiences. The pictures here are from the last stage of our project: The walk along the coast from the east of Broløkke Manor around the southern tip / Keldsnor Lighthouse to Bagenkop.
