Villas in Humble

About Humble

Humble sits on Langeland about 14 km south of Rudkøbing and 12 km north of Bagenkop. The island once had a railway: Humble station was built in 1910 and closed in 1962. Today the village has a bakery, Humble Inn & Hotel and a school. Our homes are scattered over a few kilometres around it. Many are large, with around four bedrooms and room for eight or more, about half have a sauna, most have a fireplace and few have a pool. King Humble's Grave, a long dolmen 48.5 metres long, is a field walk from a car park on Humblevej. Evenings are quiet: you will cook at home or drive to Rudkøbing.

Getting to Humble

Odense is about 45 minutes by road from Rudkøbing and Billund about 1 hour 45 minutes; Humble lies 14 km further south. Langeland is linked to the mainland by bridges over Tåsinge. A car is the practical choice here. By bus, Fynbus lines 911 to 914 take about 30 minutes from Svendborg to Rudkøbing, which is 14 km north of Humble.

When to go to Humble

Summer brings the Ristinge beach into play, and guided tours of Tranekær castle are listed for June and July. Langeland suits weekend breaks and longer stays, so shoulder months work too, particularly in a home with a fireplace, which most here have, or a sauna, which about half do.
