The capital of the southern Danish island of Funen is often referred to as the “garden of Denmark” due to its diverse flora. In addition, Odense is known far beyond the national border as a “fairy-tale city”. She owes this nickname to the poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen, who was born here. A stroll through the city leads past sculptures from Andersen’s fairy-tale world and lets the visitor walk in the footsteps of the famous writer.
