10 Nature & Parks in Odense That You Shouldn't Miss
The quirky, millennium-old capital of Fyn (or Funen), Odense is populated by street corner sculptures of trolls and monster-footed benches. Hans Christian Andersen's birthplace is crammed with fairytale-related attractions. A plethora of castles awaits in the surrounding countryside, including the 1554 Egeskov Castle with its dramatic moat, 18 miles away. Bike or walk to visit manatees at the zoo, open-air museums, the impressive cathedral, the art cinema and bustling cafés, or see the town by riverboat.

We took a day trip from Copenhagen by train to visit the Odense Zoo. It was a long day but worth it. Odense Zoo is a smallish zoo—after a full day we had seen everything. It’s not as flashy as the Copenhagen Zoo but has a lot of heart. Lots of great opportunities to get close to the animals and lots of fun activities. My son loved all the playgrounds and the treetop walk was a neat experience. We also paid extra to go sloth-hunting and feed some monkeys and it was quite a memorable afternoon. Only negative was that the food options weren’t that great—pretty much just froed food. We’ll come back again but bring our lunch next time.

A beautiful green place with roads for mountain bikes and a lake for fishing and swimming. Not a wheelchair friendly place.
