Mommark

Description

NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The approach is unproblematic day and night, but at times there is a very strong current parallel to the coast. Keep well clear of the lighted eastern pier head of the rockfill (Fl.R.3s). The eastern side of the rockfill tends to silt up. Attention: In an onshore storm, there is a strong bottom sea in front of the entrance.

Berths

Guests lie on the western floating bridges (with fingers) at a water depth of 1.5- 2.5m. The southern part of the harbor basin is reserved for fishermen. In strong northerly winds, the harbor can be choppy due to swell.

Surroundings

Cosy harbor with adjoining campsite, good basic service available, also kiosk and restaurant. The nearest small store for groceries is a good hour's walk away in Tandslet. The only fuel available is diesel fuel.

The port of Mommark has more atmosphere than the port of neighboring Fynshav, even though the small village above the port has little to offer culturally. But the harbor's location below a tree-covered hill is appealing in itself. In the past, only the ferry between Søby on Ærø and Mommark caused a little unrest. The turning maneuver of the ship, which had to turn on the proverbial plate, was always a spectacle. The connection now runs from Fynshav. Today, the adjacent campsite brings some variety to everyday life in the harbor. A frequently photographed motif is probably the harbor's pier lights, two small towers of a design that you would be more likely to find on a Greek island than on Als.

There is no longer much trace of the town's former importance as an important ferry station on the decommissioned Faaborg-Mommark line. Fynshav has taken the place of Mommark. The largest megalithic monument in the north is located between these two ports at Kettingskov, about three kilometers from Mommark. Blommeskobbel is the name of the forest where the two long dolmens can be found. The larger one measures 53 by 12 meters and has 69 kerbstones Two round dolmens can also be seen here.

The Lysabild Kirke ten kilometers southwest of Mommark was first mentioned around 1200. It was built out of gratitude after the inhabitants of Alsen escaped an attack by Erik of Pomerania's fleet because a storm had driven the ships apart. Even today, the left part of the church is called the "Holy Blood Chapel". For a long time, the chapel was a place of pilgrimage, which was believed to offer protection from attacks.
