Site won't open in Facebook App for ios, nor redirect to Safari

I'm not a heavy coder here, so i'll ask my best.

We made a brochure about our home town. However users spreading it trough facebook cant open the links when in their facebook app. The app does not send it to safari either. If opened directly from safari it is no problem.

The link is http://visit.lodingen360.com

Is there anything i can do to the site/index.html/whatever that will make it open in safari when the link is clicked in the facebook app for ios? (that won't affect visiting the site from pc's and so on)

Is there anything uiwebview won't read that can force it to safari, so that we can redirect from the thing opened in safari to the site?

Your page will load and display in Mobile Safari, I tried with UIWebView and it will load without displaying an error, but the brouchure page content won't display.

Safari and UIWebView have different user agent's - therefore my guess is that because your site uses flash but it checking for the type of browser you are not performing the check correctly for UIWebView and the page is attempting to use flash which isn't supported.
