Avernakø
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avernakø is a Danish island south of Funen. The island covers an area of 6 km² and has about 100 inhabitants. The island can be reached by ferry from Faaborg and Lyø (crossing time is 30 and 70 minutes respectively).
Originally, Avernakø was two separate islands, "Korshavn" and "Avernak". In 1937 the two islands were connected by a dam named "Drejet" ("The Turn"), due to its peculiar shape.
Main occupations are agriculture and tourism. Children attend the school at nearby island Lyø.
