1. Egeskov Castle

We’ve seen many castles in many countries over our lifetime, but Egeskov Castle is most definitely in my top 10 list. There is something about the setting, the water surrounding it. The castle and grounds are very well maintained and the gardens so nicely laid out. There certainly is something for all members of the family. There are the classic car displays if some seldom seen cars. The massive dolls house with its intricately fashioned miniatures are a wonder and a testimony to an artistic eye for detail and quality craftsmanship. Would recommend planning to spend 4-5 hrs here to fully take in the castle and grounds. It will be hours well spent.
2. The Funen Village

Take a trip out to our outdoor Museum - a village from the time of Hans Christian Andersen, where everyday life is as it was in a 19th century Funen rural environment. Mediators from Living History give you an exciting, authentic glimpse of what everyday life was like back then, operating as farmers, craftworkers, labourers and servant girls in historical dress.

The treetop adventure park in Odense has challenges for all ages. The park has 7 different courses, 85 challenges and 16 different zip-lines. There are wild, funny and challenging courses for all ages and levels of experience. The courses go on for many kilometres, in the treetops. There are courses as low as ½ of a meter, and as high as 15 meters. The park is located right next to IKEA.

Æro is a magical place. An hour or so ferry from Svendborg and you’re transported to an island with history dating back over 400 years. We were fortunate enough to stay at a b&b hosted by a lovely couple. They helped us better understand the history and to prioritize our brief stay.

Visit "CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark" and enjoy the finest ceramic arts and crafts ranging from a 235 year old plate in the Royal Copenhagen porcelain collection to the experimental work of contemporary artist. The museum has recently been transformed from a small museum located in a beautiful old villa to also include a spacious, modern building.This new building offers 1,500 square meters situated both above and below ground level. The ceramic art is literally surrounded by its own material, clay.

I don't understand some of the drab, half-hearted reviews some contributors have given this wonderful museum. It's a sheer joy - no two ways about it. The original museum was housed in the quirky old red house in the picture - but the big surprise is that now a stunningly smart state-of-the-art staircase leads you down into the earth - the clay - and the fabulous, spacious, modern exhibition space. There were 2 special exhibitions, each curated with great imagination - including one dedicated to the ceramic works of the famous CoBrA artist Carl-Henning Pedersen - a banquet of plates and pots and colours - some of the items placed on plinths that emitted musique concrète sounds redolent of clay in a range of processes - thrilling. There is also a jaw-dropping collection of pieces from the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory, tracing its history and styles and paying tribute to the various artists commissioned to design for them - it's a real piece of Danish cultural heritage. Finally as you come to the end of the underground space, daylight intrudes again with a huge panorama window with a breathtaking view of the water. You can enjoy a similar view from the excellent café, a modern glass cube pavilion clad in moveable, vertical brick slats. I could go on… This is a must-see attraction in the area.
7. De Japanske Haver

At Fyn, the island in the middle of Denmark - about 2 hours drive from Copenhagen - a fascinating Japanese was the festive set-up for a family and friend's lunch gathering this fall. Amazingly true to Japanese garden culture and tradition the garden (& it's excellent restaurant) surprised us all with is tranquility, it's beauty and variation. The hosts shared not only their vision for this "dream of their life project" but also their enthusiasm, love and commitment to create a special place - not only for themselves but for travellers/visitors like us. Can not recommend it enough.
