The Bridges of Odense
Odense is traversed by the Odense River and is located right by the Odense Fjord. This gives Odense many beautiful bridges, including one of Europe’s longest swing bridges and one of Denmark’s oldest cast-iron bridges. One of the newest is Byens Bro for pedestrians and cyclists.

Odin's Bro (Wotan's Bridge)
Odin's Bridge is a double swing bridge, i.e. the two sections turn aside when the canal is crossed by ships. When open the entire canal is passable.
