Intriguing Tidbits About Bojden
Though small in size, Bojden has served as a crucial ferry crossing point since Viking times, with archaeological evidence suggesting maritime activity in the area dating back over 1,000 years. The ferry route between Bojden and Fynshav was once part of the ancient 'Ox Road' trading route that transported cattle from Jutland to markets throughout Northern Europe. Local folklore tells of a friendly harbor spirit called 'Havmanden' who supposedly protects travelers crossing these waters. The surrounding waters are home to one of Denmark's healthiest populations of harbor porpoises, which can occasionally be spotted from the ferry decks during summer crossings.
