Lohals and Hou
Lohals is Langeland’s northernmost city. The city has a cosy harbour, where the cultural house Banjen during the summer is framework for many music events and a very well visited meatball festival called “frikadellefest”.
Contrary to many other small cities, in Lohals there are still opportunities to buy exactly what you need. With a supermarket, a bakery and the possibility to buy arts and crafts etc., the city is still an active and living place. The beach north of the city is a nice sandy beach with a bathing jetty and it is frequently used all year round. Lohals and Hou are excellent starting points for many excursions, with water on three sides and large forest areas, the nature invites to be explored either on foot or bicycle.
