Kohaveskoven with its surrounding woods, new plantings and grazed meadows is one of Odense's largest and finest natural areas. Until 1980, when Odense Municipality acquired the forest it belonged to the local farmers and landowners. The contentious locals got into a dispute regarding woodland rights in the late 1700s. The result was that the south farmers got Kohaveskoven and the north farmers got Ræveskoven (Fox Forest) north of Åsum. Then and for not so long ago there was prestige in having a large stack of firewood lying in the yard.
Old wide-canopied oaks
One of the things that gives Kohaveskoven its distinctive beauty are the many wide-canopied oak trees covering the entire central part of the forest. The oaks allow light to penetrate to the forest floor, and because of the generous distance between the trees, there is both light and space for a beautiful and varied undergrowth of bird cherry, birch, elder, linden, downy honeysuckle, gooseberry, spindle tree, hazel and the relatively rare white dogwood - all the old Danish original forest species.
Wild raspberries are almost everywhere on the forest floor and suggest that the soil is rich in nitrogen. Where there is insufficient light for the raspberries, a special type of Horsetail dominates, which has been known since ancient times as an excellent abrasive. It is the plants content of silica, which makes it useful as sandpaper.

Hollufgård sculpture park is open all year and offers many and varied art experiences outdoors. Please stop by and go for a relaxing walk in the beautiful, natural surroundings. The park itself is a fine example of a cultural and natural landscape with great diversity. New works are constantly emerging in the park as Danish and foreign guest artists visit every year.
The garden itself was originally a Renaissance style garden - in the 18th century it was modernized according to the style of the time. You can still get a glimpse of the romantic garden style today, among others the old linden alleys are intact and the Snail mound (built in 1760) which contained the manor's wine cellar can also still be seen.

Would you like to explore a fully intact 450 m2 nuclear bunker from the 1950s?
This bunker has been restored to pristine condition and includes a majority of the original artefacts from the cold war era. The bunker further displays 3 exhibitions that each show a different side of the cold war. This includes the civil defence forces, the enemy from the east and the police force.
The bunker was built in 1953/54, it formerly housed Odense Municipality's command centre, and this was the location that the mayor and key personnel went to in a worst-case scenario during the Cold War. With space for about 30-35 key employees, it's own electricity, water and food supply, this bunker was prepared to be completely sealed off for an entire month!
Practical Information:
Guided tours are at 11 and 14 o'clock and are included in the admission fee.
The bunker is located under the youth hostel Kragsbjerggården, Kragsbjergvej 121, 5230 Odense M.

The History of the Garden
The Garden was founded in 1948 by the teacher Arne Emdal and was originally owned by the Odense School Authority. It was named the "School Botanical Garden" and was used for botany education and plant distribution. Later, the garden was taken over by Odense's park department.
A Botanical Treasure for All
The Garden is now an inspiration for garden owners and a popular destination that offers a unique botanical experience. Visitors can admire an impressive variety of perennials and Denmark's largest collection of birch and fern plants from around the world. There is also an extensive assortment of cranesbill and daylilies. The old-fashioned, densely flowering, and fragrant roses are a delight for both the eye and the nose. All plants are labeled with their name, variety, and place of origin.
The Path to the Garden
To reach the garden, you can either follow the stream path across the red bridge or start the journey from the parking lot in the allotment gardens and follow a picturesque path along the stream. In the facility, you will find a water station, a toilet that is open during the summer months, and a canoe mooring area.

All buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are sourced on Funen. Most are built in half-timbering and with thatched roofs. The village is surrounded by fields and gardens, and you can meet livestock in stables, on pasture or in the fields, ploughing the arable land with the farmer. The Funen Village tells the story of both past and future, sustainability and community.
A village with inspiration for the future
The Funen Village is an attraction that shows how people lived and what they did in the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition, The Funen Village places great emphasis on sustainability, recycling and community, which is demonstrated through the village's activities and stories. It is a historical museum that tries to use the history of the past to change the future - precisely by focusing on sustainability and community. The Funen Village shows life in the past, when people were in closer covenant with nature, to inspire you and your family, arouse your curiosity and make you wiser about the past and the future.

You can also learn how to milk cows, make clothes from flax, how honey is made in the village and much more. You can always find the whole year's programme here: www.denfynskelandsby.dk, so you can choose the activities you want to experience.
History programmes and summer evenings
When you visit the Funen Village, you can listen to stories told by the volunteers.

As you listen to the stories, you can watch the characters as they go about their daily chores. This creates a unique and special atmosphere for you to experience what it was like to live in the 18th century. In addition to the many volunteers and activities, the Funen Village is open every Thursday in July, where you can enjoy the summer atmosphere of the village.

A green area
Odense is full of beautiful green areas that invite you to go for a walk, a bike ride, or sit and relax in green surroundings. One of these places is Skovsøen. Skovsøen is located opposite the meadow at Fruens Bøge.
Part of Fruens Bøge
Skovsøen is part of Fruens Bøge, which consists of 24 hectares of recreational forest, a residential area, the open-air museum Den Fynske Landsby, and the old station Fruens Bøge Station, where you can grab a coffee at Velodrom Kaffebar. In addition, Fruens Bøge is the terminus of the popular Odense Aafart.
Activities at Skovsøen
In summer, it's popular to grab an ice cream or something at the Waffle House Skovsøen, but you can also drop by Den Fynske Landsby, which is just a stone's throw from the lake. There's also plenty going on in the summer right next to Skovsøen at Engen. This is the home of the Odense Summer Revy, and for Sankt Hans, the Engen has also been used for setting up Sankthansbål. In addition to the Waffle House Skovsøen, you can also visit Fruens Bøge Station, now Velodrom Kaffebar.
The history of Skovsøen
Skovsøen was excavated during World War I, and the meadow next to it was frequented by Odenseans with picnic baskets. The lake was excavated as part of a work release project and is now enjoyed by Odense residents and tourists alike in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The City Tree is the title of the gable painting on Christiansgade 20. Danish artist No Title is the creator of this work of art and he credits his inspiration to the fact that the gable faces a green area by Odense River.
No Title is already a familiar name in Odense - his work Byfisk: Odense Å can be seen in the Hans Christian Andersen Garden (south entrance).
Odense has several fine examples of gable paintings and street art. You can find an overview on our website.

Denmark's First Cast Iron Road Bridge
Frederiksbroen (Frederik's Bridge), across the river, Odense Å, was Denmark's first cast iron road bridge. It was built in 1844. Frederiksbroen replaced the old wooden Møglebroen (The Great Bridge), which later (by mistake) became known as Møllebroen (Mill Bridge).
Frederiksbroen was named after the Crown Prince, later King Frederik VII, who at the time was Governor of Funen and lived at Odense Castle. The bridge was officially opened on the Crown Prince's birthday on 6th October 1844 in a ceremony in the presence of the prince himself and his father, King Christian VIII. On the same occasion, the street changed its name from "Outside Mill Bridge" to Frederiksgade.
Today, you can still see the beautiful cast iron bridge, which is especially beautiful seen from the path along the river Odense. From the riverside path, you can access the bridge via stairs to get up close to the elegant railings.
