The Funen Village — Attraction in Odense Kommune

A self sustainable village with ways that have withstood the change of time and evolution of mankind & one that will still hold good in many more years to come. A must visit if you are in Odense 🇩🇰 with or without family. Untouched nature and a complete throwback in 16th to 18th century history of a Danish farmland. Few important things : 1. If you are visiting Odense and do drop by Hans Christian Andersen’s house museum you do get 50% off on Funen Village entry ticket but only if you buy the ticket at the village (don’t buy tickets for this place online) in that case. 2.

I also read something about there being horse carts although I didn't see them... If so, it is also an abuse that should be eliminated. They suffer from the weight of carrying a car, back pain, pain caused by the reins...etc. They are not objects, there are outdated customs that must...

Must-go place in Odense. It is a reverse time machine and brings the 19 century back to today. The carriage ride is 25 DKK per person and it gives a quick tour of the village. After that, we walked through many rooms to see the demo. Black smith, weaving, farming, wind mile. The HC Anderson show was a highlight, too. Don’t miss it. Unfortunately, the two actors did not perform in English, but we still enjoyed it. It opens at 10AM in summer. We drove there and parking was easy in the morning, and free. Also, they provides wagons for free in case you have little kids. However, the number of wagons is limited, and you may not get one if...
