The Eider Duck sculpture stands at the foot of Møllebakken near the Johannes Larsen Museum. The Eider Duck was presented in connection with the royal couple's visit to Kerteminde in June 2013. It was created by John Olsen, born in 1948. He is a versatile visual artist, sculptor, graphic artist, draftsman, painter, and photographer. He is inspired, among other things, by Johannes Larsen, whom he once met in his house at Møllebakken in Kerteminde. John Olsen is therefore naturally connected to the Johannes Larsen Museum and the museum. He organized a major exhibition of John Olsen's works in May 2008, when John Olsen turned 70.

The Langebro Bridge in Kerteminde connects the town of Kerteminde with the exclusive district of "Feddet." The first bridge was built in the 15th century and maintained with funds from the so-called "Brokornsafgift" (farmer's sap gift) – a tax paid by farmers and landowners from the 16 surrounding municipalities. The current bridge dates from 1956. Cross the Langebro Bridge, walk down Dosseringen, and you'll find yourself directly on Kerteminde's fantastic south beach. https://koebmandsgaardenkerteminde.dk/de/accommodation/koebmandsgaarden-langebro/

In Farvergården, there are exhibitions on three floors. The life of craftsmen and fishermen in Kerteminde is a mixed theme. The museum also has a mini-cinema, showing films from Kerteminde recorded between 1938 and 1962. See, among others, the film “Amanda and the Student,” in which the Kerteminde girl Amanda shows the student from outside Kerteminde around. In addition, there is also an exhibition specifically aimed at children aged 5-10 years. Here, Marie and Johannes take you to 20th-century Kerteminde and tell you about the conditions as a child back then. Behind Farvergården is a beautiful courtyard – an idyllic break in the middle of the market town. There you will find a beautiful peace in the middle of Kerteminde. In the garden, there are many beautiful spots, laid out according to old tradition with perennial beds and bordered by low boxwood hedges. Here you can also enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Farvergården. Then it can hardly be more peaceful and beautiful. Farvergården's shop is full of fun and old-fashioned goods. Three steps from Langegade, you travel half a century back in time. https://ostfynsmuseer.dk/farvergaarden/ https://www.visitkerteminde.de/kerteminde/sehenswuerdigkeiten/monumente-kerteminde
