Lyø Village

Lyø Village is located in the centre of the island. The setting is dominated by old farmhouses, large trees and low stone walls, surrounding five ponds (originally 12). Lyø Church dates from about 1600 and is a typical Danish village church, white-washed and with a red tile roof.

Harbour

The small harbour is located approximately 1 kilometre from the village. It consists of a ferry dock and a marina. Ø-Færgen operates a ferry between Faaborg on Funen, Avernakkeø and Lyø.

gollark: I've made (most of) this UI for viewing details on an incident report now. I'm not very satisfied with the layout though.
gollark: I may be biased but the network security page is good.
gollark: I figure it's not hugely useful linking to all the many, many individual function documentation pages. So maybe only the important functions, important *APIs*, or more freeform documentation for other stuff.
gollark: A link to the main page is useful, Yemmel's project idea list, maybe other things?
gollark: The CC:T wiki?
