Hoteller i Funen County, Danmark

Funen County, an island in central Denmark, is famous as the home of Hans Christian Andersen and its countless manor houses, including the 16th-century Egeskov Castle with its treetop walkways. The coastal climate brings cool summers averaging 68°F (20°C)-perfect for cycling the 220-kilometer Funen Cycle Route past thatched villages-and mild winters around 32°F (0°C), when you can explore Odense's interactive Andersen Museum without crowds. While Odense buzzes with live jazz and folk music at venues like Dexter, the countryside offers kayaking in the South Funen Archipelago's calm waters; just bring a rain jacket for the frequent showers that keep the landscape lush.
