A large open-air museum showcasing rural life on Funen Island in the 18th–19th centuries. It is not a functioning village; instead, around 30 original buildings from across Funen—farmhouses, workshops, windmills and watermills—were relocated here and reconstructed.

Odense is Denmark’s third-largest city, famous as the hometown of the world-renowned fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen. 1. Andersen’s Childhood Home: A small house on Munkemøllestræde Street where Andersen lived from age 2 to 14. The home preserves the simple living conditions of a poor family—tight space and basic furniture—offering insight into his hard childhood. 2. Old Town Quarter: Stroll along cobblestone lanes lined with well-preserved half-timbered houses and lovely gardens. Experience the charm of medieval Denmark—like stepping into an Andersen fairy-tale scene.
