Go on a forest adventure
The scent of the forest floor and the sound of birdsong can brighten even a rainy day. Take a deep breath and enjoy the peace of the woods. Lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike and explore the trails in Odense’s green backyard.

Fruens Bøge Skov (Woodland)
At Fruens Bøge Skov, you can walk beneath centuries-old beech trees, follow the Odense River through the woodland and explore one of the city’s most traditional places for a day out. It is only a few minutes from the city centre, yet feels far removed from the bustle of the city.

Hans Christian Andersen Forest
H.C. Andersen Forest is located between Åsum and Seden, east of Odense. Established in the early 2000s, the forest is named after Hans Christian Andersen, but the connection goes beyond its name.
