Activities on the Water

The fact that Odense is located right by Odense Fjord and that the Odense River runs through the city center naturally provides access to experiences on the water. Try the pedal boats in Munke Mose or take a trip with Goboats. If you prefer sailing under your own power, rent a canoe and get close to nature.
