City walk in Odense – Old and Modern
Exciting city walk in Odense with historical and modern features.
As we walk through the streets and alleys of Odense I will tell an exciting story about the city's past and its sights. Vikings, kings and many other stories and adventures!
Odense was once one of Denmark's most important medieval cities. Traces of this heyday still exist and the latest excavations in the city give us answers to many questions.
Modern Odense has very few traces from the Middle Ages, but one of the most important is Odense Cathedral! On my tour you will hear about the city's historical development, industrialization and the modern times.
My narrative includes the history of the city, Hans Christian Andersen as well as giving some insight into modern Odense.

Egeskov's Exciting Museums
A guided tour of the various museums and exhibitions at Egeskov offers you entertainment, excitement and facts. Here you can find items of interest for adults as well as children.
See vintage cars, from stream propelled to turbo charged. Take a close look at the rescue helicopter, feel the thrill at the motorbikes from the Danish traffic police, listen to the engines of the vintage motorcycles purring or dream of driving a fire engine.
Egeskov has one of the biggest collections of vintage cars or Oldtimers collections in Denmark. The cars belong to the castle or to private collectors. You will find true gems some of them belonging to the royal family. The oldest one is even steam powered!
But there is a lot more to be found in the big exhibition hall. 8 aircrafts, among them a rescue helicopter – ready for take off of course.
The motorcycles are on show in a separate building. 38 different brands, suspended in chains, so you can study all the details close up.
If you want to revive your memories of going shopping as a child, before the time of self-service and the supermarket, the grocer's museum will amuse you. This is the place, where you will very likely exclaim: "Do you remember the times when…."
There is an exhibition of bicycles, and the rescue service Falck has its own exhibition with ambulances, fire engines and various tools.
The latest addition is the camping-museum which will open 2021.
You can also find old horsedrawn carriages, farming equipment and you can watch a movie about the Danish inventor Ellehammer and how he was the first in Europe to construct and actually take off with an engine powered plane.
You can round off your visit with a guided tour of the house or of the grounds and garden as well. Each takes about an hour.

A guided tour of the city of Odense in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen is an obvious starting point for getting to know the city centre and Odense.
During this guided tour of the old city centre, you will pass the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen and see the spot where his mother used to work as a laundress. We will visit the Cathedral, Odense Domkirke, where he was confirmed and see the place where the old theatre used to be and he first fell in love with the world of theatre.

Seafaring, strong destinies and urban life in Svendborg
Svendborg is the pearl of South Funen, a vibrant harbour town which for centuries has stretched its "currents" out into the wider world and brought ideas home from distant shores.
On this guided walking tour, we delve into both the historic and the modern town, following the traces of seafaring, strong personalities and dramatic events that have shaped Svendborg as well as Denmark.
Along the way, you will encounter stories of pigs that helped build fortunes, merciful monks, courageous resistance fighters and committed communist dramatists who used the theatre to shake up contemporary society. We talk about the ragged proletariat as well as the powerful churches, and you will hear about the seafaring men who set out onto the open sea and the strong women who stayed behind and kept the town and families together.
We make our way from the harbour up into the town through atmospheric streets, passing the old warehouses along the famous quayside, from where ferries sail to the islands of the South Funen Archipelago: Drejø, Bjørnø, Skarø and Ærø. You will learn about the importance of shipping for Svendborg, about the shipyards and Frederiksøen, home to one of the world's leading repair yards for historic and preservation-worthy wooden vessels.
On our route, we visit "Mudderhullet" and the Træskibsbroen once the heart of Svendborg's medieval harbour, and every summer the gathering point for proud old ships taking part in "Fyn Rundt for Bevaringsværdige Træskibe". We also see the main square with the town's oldest preserved half-timbered house, Ane Hvides Gård, take in the sight of the "Gylletank", and step into the atmospheric Church of St Nicholas before continuing through the charming lanes that link the harbour with the town centre.
Throughout the walk, your guide weaves the local stories into the broader threads of Danish history and reveals how a "small" seafaring town like Svendborg has time and again left its mark far beyond South Funen. -

Traces of World War II: A Memorial Walk through Odense
Traces of the Second World War can still be found in Odense's streets, parks and cemeteries. Street names, Stolpersteine (stumbling stones), memorials, statues and war graves tell the stories of people whose lives were shaped or cut short by the war. Join a guided walk to discover these traces and the stories behind them.
Along the way, we hear about victims of Nazi persecution, resistance members and Danish soldiers who fell during the occupation. We also visit the memorial to Allied airmen and the German war graves at Assistens Cemetery.
These individual stories are placed in a wider context, offering an insight into the German occupation of both Odense and Denmark. We also explore how the dead have been commemorated since the war.
This is a tour about the war and its human consequences, but also about the traces that remain in the city today – some prominent, others easily overlooked. There is time for questions and conversation along the way.

Guided Tour of Odense City Hall
Experience one of the most beautiful buildings in Odense from the inside, which means the City Hall of Odense, situated beautifully opposite the cathedral. During the tour I will introduce you to rooms which are usually not open to the public.
When you experience the building from the inside you will see impressive architechture from the past as well as today and a perfect match of colours. You will see a magnificent painting Fynsk Forår, Spring of Funen, by Yann Kai Nielsen, the wedding room and the memory wall with good stories from the past and the present. The city counsel room and an anteroom with portraits of previous mayors by some of the best painters in Denmark are also on our list.
In the grand hall we find impressive frescoes by the Funen painter Johannes Larsen and I will explain about Hans Christian Andersen who was appointed honorary citizen of Odense exactly here in 1869 – in the old city hall used before the present one was built! As a must the tour also allows you a view of the Queen's State Rooms for when she visits Odense – only when the Queen is not present of course.
The City Hall is an old building with stairs but also lifts. We do guided tours during normal working hours of City Hall only. If you want an exclusive tour outside normal working hours there will be an extra fee for security.

Egeskov Castle – a Guided Tour of the House
Egeskov Castle has everything – magic, charm, atmosphere and "hygge".
Egeskov castle is an impressive building with a fascinating history. It was built just under 500 years ago in the middle of a lake on top of oak trunks that were rammed into the lake.
The standard shows us this is the home of a noble family, the counts of Ahlefeldt. The present owner is count Michael who lives at the castle and we are therefore visiting his private home.
Egeskov castle was built to protect the family in times of unrest such as during "the Feud of the Counts" and during the Reformation.
From the outside we can see many defence mechanisms that are built into the walls and inside the castle we can see even more.
You will learn about the barrier mechanisms, the crooked stairs, and how the residents could survive and succesfully resist a long siege as well as show you numerous more details which we can see on the outside as well as inside the castle.
Inside the castle there are some very good stories to tell about the hunting room, such as extraordinary details about trophies and furniture and of course there are nice photos of the family that Count Michael and his wife enjoy sharing with us.
In the Yellow Room a large open fireplace underscores the "hygge" factor and cosiness, and good stories about how previous generations were entertained during banquets and in the evening. The tower holds more surprising details and the same goes for the Great Hall with the black armour which count Michael had made for himself, and which he actually wears occasionally.
Hear the story about the huge tapestry on the wall, learn about the rooms we pass en route to the Hunting Gallery. We'll admire trophies, guest rooms and you are in for a surprise when you hear the story about the young lady Riborg who has a room named after her in memory of her cruel destiny.
You will also see the amazing toy collection up in the attick.
On a guided tour of Egeskov you will hear all the good stories of past and present. Find out whether the castle is haunted or not and find out why there is a figure with magic powers in the attic.
You can round off your visit with a guided tour of the grounds and garden or of the many fascinating exhibitions and museums. Each takes about an hour.

Guidede ture og oplevelser på Fyn
Vi tilbyder mange forslag til guidede ture på Fyn, som du frit kan vælge imellem. Har du et særligt ønske? Så hjælper vi gerne med at planlægge og arrangere din helt unikke oplevelse på Fyn.
Egeskov Castle
Egeskov Castle is probably the manor house on Funen that is best known in the wider world. More than 100,000 visitors from all over the world come every year to experience the beautiful castle. Many visitors want to hear the history of the castle and the count's family through the ages. Others would like to experience the park and exhibitions while they listen to the good stories of what they see. So all you have to do is choosing what interests you the most.
You can go on guided tour of the house of Egeskov Castle or go exploring on your own. Whether you want the full guided package or just an hour's tour of the house is up to you.
Manor Houses on Funen outnumber the rest of Denmark's
It's not just Egeskov Castle that will impress you when it comes to manor houses.
Fyn byder på oplevelser tæt på hinanden og er især kendt for sine mange historiske herregårde. Faktisk ligger Fyns herregårde tættere end noget andet sted i Danmark. Den frugtbare, fynske muld har gennem tiden gjort det muligt for hver herregård at producere mere på mindre arealer – og dermed skabe plads til endnu flere imponerende herregårde.
Holckenhavn Castle, which today is probably best known for its events and weddings, is one of the manor houses that the noblewoman Ellen Marsvin bought and owned.
Ellen Marsvin was a remarkable lady. A noble woman acting in the men's world on equal footing with noble men whom she actually surpassed in many ways.
Holckenhavn Castle was originally named Ulfeldtsholm after the Ulfeldt family, who owned the manor house before Ellen Marsvin bought and renamed it. Only much later did the manor house pass to the Holck family, after which the manor house Holckenhavn Castle is named.
Beautiful Funen nature
Funen is a rather hilly island. We who cycle here every day feel that. You may also have heard of Svanninge Hills, Svanninge Bakker, and Frøbjerg Bavnehøj, which are some of the hills on Funen.
The Funen landscape is partly created by the Ice Age, which left behind material that the ice pushed forward or dragged along. Where a large lump of ice was stuck and subsequently melted, we have dead ice holes, which today can be beautiful lakes.
If you want to listen to stories of how the various ice ages have shaped Funen, you should probably choose a guided nature tour. You'll experience the nature much better by being out in it, rather than seeing it from a coach on the road. Scents, sounds and windy hair are all part of being outdoors.
Charming Funen towns
Funen is closely packed with lovely towns. A number of coastal towns all the way round the beautiful island are there to impres you. Funen calls itself a Bike Island and has many BikeFriends throughout Funen in favor of cycling tourists. On Funen as well as a lot of other areas of Denmark everyone on a cycling holiday will be able to find assistance when in need of repair, water or just a rest. Especially for cycling tourists, it is great that the Funen towns are so close, as the distances are all manageable. And the experiences are just waiting for you to turn up.
On Southern Funen, Faaborg is one of the beautiful coastal towns not to be missed. The bell tower is the town's remarkable mascot. A good trot on the bicycle from Faaborg, and you can make a well planned stop at the gastronomically famous Falsled Kro, Falsled Inn. If you continue further west, a good ride on the bicycle, you will reach Assens.
Two people are famous in Assens, Ernst and Willemoes. Ernst was a collector of silver items. In the museum Ernst Samling you can see much of his collection and get to know its silver history and the Assens town itself has a very interesting history of Willemoes for you to discover.
Further north you find Middelfart, with the two beautiful bridges over the Little Belt, Lillebælt. Both will please your eyes. On the Little Belt you can also go on a porpoise safari and in Middelfart town there is a lot of beautiful architecture to discover, both new and old buildings. Most of the new ones are on the harbour front. By the harbor you will also find what is called the hanging gardens in Middelfart.
If you go east from Faaborg instead of west, you will have a relaxing cycling tour along the coast to Svendborg. Here there is another beautiful and exciting harbour and a charming town centre. Svendborg is known on Funen and the rest of Denmark for being a film town. Here the Svend Prize is awarded to Danish films once a year.
If you ride north, you might want to make a stop in Nr. Lyndelse, that is if you are into classical music. In Nr. Lyndelse you find the childhood home of the composer Carl Nielsen. His childhood home is a cozy and authentic little museum not to be missed.
Have you heard the coastal town on the Great Belt, Nyborg mentioned? This is where we used to go on the ferry from Korsør to Nyborg back in the days. Separate ferries for trains and vehicles. Today Nyborg is perhaps best known for its medieval market in the summer and for Nyborg Castle which is open to the public. Or visit the charming town of Kerteminde.
We are happy to say visit Funen with Guide Service Denmark and our guide service Funen.
