Hans Christian Andersen’s Odense, Egeskov’s moated castle and the South Funen islands.

Funen is Denmark’s garden island, reached by bridge: manor houses and castles — Egeskov stands in its moat — farm shops, and small harbour towns. Odense is Hans Christian Andersen’s town; from Svendborg the ferries and sailing boats cross to the islands of the South Funen archipelago, one of the best waters in Europe for a sailing or paddling holiday.
