Middelfart suits stays on the Little Belt, with two bridges to Jutland and guided walks on the old one. Almost every home has a fireplace and none has a private pool. The homes are spread over several kilometres, so a car is part of the plan.
Middelfart sits where the Little Belt narrows to about a kilometre, and the Old Little Belt Bridge of 1935 and the New Little Belt Bridge of 1970 both cross to Jutland here. The strait is a protected wetland: harbour porpoises live in it in large numbers, and white-tailed eagles and eiders are among its protected birds. The homes are spread over several kilometres around the town rather than in one group, almost all with a fireplace and some with a sauna, mostly three bedrooms sleeping around six. There are no private pools, so water views and walks are the draw.
Opened in 1935 and 1,178 m long, linking Funen to Jutland near the Hindsgavl peninsula; guided bridge walks are offered.
A strait with the highest known density of harbour porpoises in the world, where observation tours operate nearby.
Across the strait in Jutland; the crossing from Fredericia to Strib became Denmark's first train ferry in 1872.
In Jutland, one of the two largest towns around the strait, alongside Vejle.
Billund Airport is about 45 minutes by road from Middelfart. The town sits on the Little Belt, where the Old Little Belt Bridge carries local traffic and trains and the New Little Belt Bridge carries the E20 motorway, so Jutland is directly across. Take a car, because the homes are spread around the town.

Possibly. The Little Belt has the highest known density of harbour porpoises in the world, and observation tours operate nearby. Sightings are never guaranteed, so treat it as a bonus.
No. None of the homes around Middelfart has a private pool. Almost all have a fireplace, some have a sauna, and most sleep around six, so the area fits cooler-weather and walking stays.
About 45 minutes by road. Billund is the route into Middelfart for many visitors, and a car is the practical option onward, as the homes are spread over several kilometres.
