Middelfart - Right in the Middle

We look forward to welcoming particpants at the European Cetacean Society's 31st Annual Conference. Middelfart is surrounded by water. The Little Belt winds its way between the Jutland peninsula and the Island of Funen creating stunning land- and seascapes. Due to the complex current and tidal system of the belt the waters are a favourite feeding ground for harbour porpoises. Middelfart is right in the middle of Denmark. We are only two hours  away from Copenhagen by train and less than 1 hour by car from Legoland.
