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.

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.

**This place is temporarily closed** Nyborg Castle will reopen in 2023. At the moment the castle is under restoration. At Nyborg Castle you can visit the halls where the Danish king in the Middle Ages called the parliament (Danehof) together. Representatives from the whole country gathered here to make big decisions about Denmark's future - and to hold extravagant feasts and thrilling jousting tournament

If you are in Svendborg, don’t miss the opportunity to head out to the island of Tasinge and take in Valdemar’s Castle. It is still privately owned and not only interesting, but beautiful. If you are into gaming trophies, check out the attic museum. The castle is expensive, but I would recommend it!
