The Swedish island of Hven (pronounced ‘Ven’) may be small (4.5km by 2.6km), but it has lots to offer, from historical astronomy sites to one of the biggest private whisky collections in Scandinavia, or just the good old beach and sun. Hven lies in the Öresund Strait between Denmark and Sweden and within full view of the new and very impressive Öresund Bridge (7845m) connecting Copenhagen and Malmö. In fact, you may well have flown over Hven without realizing it, as many planes flying into Copenhagen Airport fly out over the Öresund before turning in to touch down.
