What to do and see in Odense, Funen and Islands: The Best Monuments & Statues

February 7, 2022 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

The Mer Stallion

Reviewed By stevlee78 - Kolding, Denmark

The statue is situated in the water by the park and has so many features, it sprays water from its nostrils, has fins and is by far the coolest statue I’ve seen in Denmark The location is also pretty spectacular, there’s like a lock where the water is on different levels, gargoyles spitting water at the edge of a small waterfall, green space, trees and nature I don’t know the story behind the statue but will look it up because it’s just that damn cool

I am glad that I arrived to this statue when it was dark already because illuminated it looks ingenious. It became my favorite statue in Odense.
