ROADS OF WATER

Vandets Veje at Kaleko Mølle combines water power, play and family-friendly walks in Faaborg. Explore the old water wheels, experiment with water at the activity course and follow one of two easy walking routes through the landscape around Faaborg.

Discover the power of water at Kaleko Mølle

The adventure begins at Kaleko Mølle, where the large mill wheels are powered by water from the millpond. Nearby, a modern miniature model of the old mill mechanism shows how it works.

At the millpond, children and adults can also experiment with water power at the large water activity course. The outdoor activities are free to use whenever it suits you.

The grounds at Kaleko Mølle are accessible all year round. On selected days, the old miller’s home, the working workshops and the café are also open. The mill is primarily open during the summer, the autumn school holidays and at Christmas.
