Denmark's Greenest City?

The city is filled with gardens and parks, trees flank the major roads and Odense River snakes straight through the center. We believe that all the greenery helps create the good and relaxed atmosphere that characterizes Odense.

“Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Hans Christian Andersen

Funen is also known as Denmark's garden and Odense is often referred to as the capital of Funen. The city is full of gardens and parks, trees adorn the streets and the river Odense Å meanders through the city centre. The many green areas contribute to the relaxed atmosphere that characterises Odense. Nature and greenery are good for the eyes and the soul.

We hope that during your visit you will visit one of the parks, sail on the river or even visit the former landfill site, Stige Ø, which today is a fantastic recreational area with hiking and mountain bike trails, playgrounds and shelters.

Parks and Gardens

Fyn is known as Denmark's garden and Odense is often spoken of as the capital of Fyn. The city is filled with gardens and parks, trees flank the major roads and Odense River snakes its way through the city centre. We believe that all the greenery is a big part of the calm and relaxed feeling that is typical of Odense - green is good for the soul.

During your visit we hope you will enjoy our parks, go sailing on the river and maybe even visit our former dump site, Stige Ø, which is now a flourishing recreational area with hiking and mountainbike trails, playgrounds and shelters.
