What to do and see in Funen and Islands, Denmark: The Best Gardens

April 20, 2022 Karren Gelb

This region is home to 700 miles of coastline and 90 islands, including Fyn, the third largest island in Denmark. Also known as "Funen," this attractive island of thatched farmhouses, myriad beaches, forests, beaches and grassland offers gorgeous Kattegat and Baltic views. The most popular spot is quirky Odense, birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, but don't miss Ladby's Viking ship grave, where the remains of a 72-foot longship, burial site of a 10th-century Viking chieftain, have been excavated.

De Japanske Haver

Reviewed By Sarah_Kosher_Kitchen - Copenhagen, Denmark

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.

The contents of the five gardens and the arboretum are arranged according to the type of illness to be treated. Some plants appear in more than one garden. The descriptions are detailed and are in Danish. There is a guidebook descibing 200 of the plants, together with their history and amusing anecdotes, which can be purchased at the bookshop in Rudkøbing
