    Kertinge nor / Kerteminde fjord

    1.77 km

    The marginal moraine - Munkebo Bakke - with the Bronze Age mounds Degnehøj - Svanehøj and Kongshøj - was formed during the last Ice Age (Weichel) when the Bælthavsglacier made this ridge from materials from Kertinge Nor/Kerteminde Fjord.

    The fjord/Noret covers a total area of ​​8.5 km2, with an average water depth of 2 m, and a maximum depth of 8 m. From the start at Langebro (bridge) in Kerteminde to the bottom, it is almost 10 km.

    The change of the tide causes a water flow of typically 100 m3 - per second - at the fjord mouth.

    Aquarius occurs in very large numbers. The density in the middle of summer is as high as 250 individuals per m3. This quantity causes the jellyfish to starve, and thus do not grow very large.

    Other animals and fish include dogfish, mud goby, European eel, black goby, sprat, eel flounder, kelp needle and flounder, as well as invertebrates such as prawns, mussels, brush worms, beach crabs and barnacles.

    If you want to learn more about the animals of the sea, a visit to Fjord and Belt is highly recommended.

    This abundance of animals is the reason for the abundance of birds: eiders, swans, cormorants, seagulls and herons can be seen.

    On the south side of Kerteminde Fjord near Ladby, Denmark's only Viking ship grave was excavated in 1935. The world's only ship grave from the Viking Age, where the ship still lies in its original place. From the same time, it can be mentioned that a pile barrier was found at Snekkeled near Skålholm, which was supposed to prevent looting from the lake side at Munkebo.

    At the bottom near Dræby there has been a draw point between Kertinge Nor and Odense Fjord. In the Viking Age there were approx. 300 meters between these two fjords.

    At the bottom of Kertinge Nor lies the small island of Galgeholm. Horror and horror, one might say. Because until 1578 there was actually a court here! Remains of the foundation have been found on top of an ancient grave.

    It should also be reported that there were thoughts of damming the Kertinge Nor, but the Ministry of War prevented it in the 1870s, as it was too expensive and too big a job. And fortunately for that, you could say.

    Otherwise, at Langebro (brigde) in Kerteminde at low tide you can see a small island: Melen, or as it was called earlier, Middelgrund. It is not known exactly when it originated, but it can be seen on maps from the beginning of the 19th century. Most likely formed by merging materials when Langebro (bridge) was built. Has been quite a bit bigger in the past, but is now on its way back to the fjord.

    In 1901, Melen hosted a party for the Salvation Army for 3 days. And has also previously been used for St. Bonfire.

    Take the time for a breathtaking and beautiful bike or kayak tour around Kerteminde Fjord/Kertinge Nor. Where, in addition to beautiful nature, the tour also offers, for example, Kertinge Church, Ulriksholm Castle and the forest by Ulriksholm where, if you look carefully, you can see a few Bronze Age mounds. Perhaps a visit to the Viking Museum in Ladby.

    The Vikingmuseum Ladby

    3.89 km

    At the Viking Museum Ladby by Kerteminde Fjord you can step inside Denmark's oldest royal tomb. Here, a nameless king was laid to rest in his Viking ship more than 1,000 years ago. The museum contains Denmark's only ship grave from the Viking Age – an attraction of international format. The Ladby ship is atmospherically displayed as a burial chamber in a rebuilt burial mound exactly on the spot where it was found in 1935. Archaeological investigations have established that the Viking ship was pulled up on land around the year 925, where the dead king was buried in the ship with his horses, dogs, weapons and other valuable goods.

    Exhibitions

    Viking Museum Ladby's main attraction is the Ladby king's Viking ship grave; but is also a museum for the entire East Funen Viking Country. The exhibition "Ladbykongens Verden" tells about the Viking Age in a broad and general way. With the help of exhibited finds, films and artistic renderings of Viking Age East Funen, you can explore the world and daily life that the King of Ladby was a part of. In the "Vikings' Wardrobe", both children and adults can try dressing up in Viking clothes. Everywhere in the exhibitions you will also find many unique local metal detector finds that tell about people and gods in the Viking Age in gold, silver and bronze. The Ladby king's funeral is presented in the exhibition "King and Warrior". Here you can experience the illusion of being present on the day when the dead Viking king was laid to rest in his ship, ready for the voyage to the beyond. A full-size replica of the Ladby ship, recreated Vikings, dead horses and grave goods can be seen next to display cases with the original items from the grave. Furthermore, in the exhibition you can see the unique Ladby Tapestry – a seven-metre long embroidered tapestry inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry from Normandy. Here the story of the death of the King of Ladby and the discovery of his grave 1000 years later is conveyed - in colorful pictures.

    The Ladby Dragon

    All summer long, you can experience the reconstructed Viking ship, the Ladbydragen, lying and rocking in the fjord below the burial mound. Exactly where the original ship was pulled ashore over 1,000 years ago. Read much more about the shipwreck, the Ladby dragon, the Ladby tapestry and much more on the Viking Museum Ladby's website.

    Experiences all year round

    Throughout the year, the museum's visitors can experience an exciting program with current lectures about the Viking Age, tours about the King of Ladby and the Viking Age, as well as lots of Viking activities for children and adults. During the school holidays, an exciting program of Viking activities is offered. Depending on the time of year, visitors of all ages can try their hand at archaeology, archery, javelin throwing, Viking combat, ceramics, woodworking, etc. accompanied by the museum's skilled and knowledgeable mediators. All year round there are also treasure hunts for children throughout the museum.

    The museum shop

    In the Viking Museum Ladby's museum shop, you can buy a wide range of delicious items with the Viking Age as their theme. The shop offers a large selection of jewellery, mead, books, toys and other Viking souvenirs. It is also possible to buy coffee, cocoa, soft drinks, ice cream and cakes, which can be enjoyed in the small café area or in the museum's cozy courtyard.

    Access conditions and availability

    Both the museum building and the mound with the Viking ship grave are handicapped-friendly with ramps, no high door steps and, in the case of the museum building, an elevator. The trip from the parking lot in front of the museum to the museum building as well as the trip from the latter to the hill (approx. 300 m) can be challenging due to gravel and dirt paths, respectively, which by their nature are not 100% level. However, there are benches along the way, so it is possible to take a break from the walk.

    In the basement of the museum building there is a toilet which is suitable for the disabled. The basement is easily accessible by elevator.

    There is free entry for disabled helpers who visit the museum during working hours.

    Dogs are welcome on a leash in the museum's outdoor area.

    The museum has a wheelchair that can be borrowed.

    Hans Christian Andersen Forest

    7.6 km

    The Hans Christian Andersen Forest was started in 2001 and is therefore a newer forest. Seen from the air, the forest resembles Andersen's paper cut-out "The Sun's Head" and the pattern is created by a mixture of oak and lime trees. The forest is inspired by the forests H.C. Andersen visited during his stays at various manor houses in Denmark. These manor houses had large parks that merged with the surrounding forests and fields.

    H.C. Andersen Forest aims to recreate the boundary between the well-kept manor park and the surrounding landscape. In time, the forest will be filled with the flowers and birdsong of the oak forest, and it will be a place where you can relax, close your eyes and experience the spirit of fairy tales. The forest will have a romantic and park-like appearance, in keeping with the spirit of Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen's spirit.

    Outside the forest, cattle will graze on the grassland. For the first several years, the area will be fenced off so that the animals can graze between the rays of the trees that stretch out into the landscape. The tree rows consist of oak mixed with hawthorn, rowan, dog rose, hazel and elder. When the trees grow big and strong enough, the fence is removed, allowing the animals to graze under the oak canopy.

    Where to find it?
    H.C. Andersen Forest is located east of Odense River between Åsum and Seden, with the main entrance from Svendsagervej. The forest is ideal for family outings, where children can play on the fun natural playground equipment, while adults can enjoy seating and barbecues.

    Vor Frue Kirke (The Church of Our Lady) is the oldest church in the city, dating from the end of the 12th century. A wooden church stood on this site as early as the 10th century, later replaced by a church in granite. Next to the church lies Odense's oldest secular building, built c. 1300.
