Faaborg-Gelting turen
Faaborg-Gelting turen var en færgerute, der forbandt Faaborg på Sydfyn med Gelting Mole i Tyskland. I 1980’erne tog mange unge færgen for at købe toldfri spiritus og billig øl. Turen blev hurtigt et ungdomsritual, hvor gymnasieelever og studerende tog færgen, købte ind i supermarkedet på havnen og straks sejlede tilbage – ofte lidt beruset. Faaborg-Gelting turen var et symbol på 80’ernes ungdomskultur, da det var en tur, der både bød på eventyr, fest og teenagelivets friheder.
