Funen Island, Fyn for our Danish friends, is the second largest island in Denmark, in the Baltic Sea between mainland and Copenaghen\u00a0Island, Sj\u00e6lland. In Funen you can find Odense, the largest town on the island and the third in Denmark.<\/p>\n

Funen has almost\u00a0100 islands mainly scattered around the southern area<\/strong>, they are big and small, inhabited or not. Don’t let the strange, some might even seem jawbreaker,\u00a0names scare you off: all these island have a unique history!\u00a0\u00c6r\u00f8<\/strong>, for example has unforgettable landscapes and amazing views on the Baltic Sea;\u00a0Drej\u00f8<\/strong>, especially loved by the artists, or\u00a0\u00c6bel\u00f8<\/strong>, that can be reached on foot when the tide is low.<\/p>\n

For adventure lovers there are \u00c6bel\u00f8, Vigels\u00f8 e Halm\u00f8, which are totally desert and where you will spend a whole day pretending to be Robinson Crusoe. Nature here is untainted, a sanctuary for both flora and fauna (form seals to birds), air is pure.<\/p>\n

All the beauties in Funen make it a really special destination for eco-friendly tourists. But the island is literally a fairy-tale.<\/p>\n

Why? Because Odense was the\u00a0hometown of\u00a0Hans Christian Andersen<\/strong>, the author of the best and most famous tales set in his country, Funen Island. Odense is rich in history and culture and its name couldn’t be more fitting: it refers to Odin, god od war but also of wisdom and\u00a0poetry<\/strong>. In Odense, in fact, Andersen wrote more than 156 tales, which have been translated in more than 80 languages and have inspired several films and cartoons: among them, you’ll certainly remember The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling and The Snow Queen.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
