At the head of Strib Odde stands the prominent 21 m high, whitewashed Strib Lighthouse, overlooking the Little Belt and its bridges. Here you will experience beautiful scenery, unique history and water and beaches as far as the eye can see. There is a reason why locals call Strib “The Pearl of the Little Belt”.

The fish stairway at Brende Mølle is an oasis where you can experience the water from the mill pond as it cascades down through a series of man-made plateaus. It is quite mesmerising to watch the water and listen to the sound of cascading water.
