What to do and see in Odense, Funen and Islands: The Best Outdoor Activities
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.

Go biking either alone or with a guide. LejMTB.dk rents out mountainbikes and also take you on a guidet tour in the woods northwest of Odense or any other area on the island of Funen. We know all the beautiful spots on the island. We can take you to the mtb tracks or we can take you on a tour out in the blue and green nature of Funen.

Bike was in a perfect condition and communication with lejMTB was great as well. The nearby area is amazing for mountainbiking and it even has to offer nice 15km single trail.

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.
