Odense - Open-Air Museum-The Funen Village

(Local Name: Den fynske Landsby) Four km/2.5 mi south of the town center of Odense lies the Open-Air Museum in Hunderup Skov. This is "Den Fynske Landsby" (The Funen Village), with reconstructed farms and houses from the island of Funen, together with a water-mill, a brick-works, a school, a smithy and other workshops. Agriculture is practised using old methods. The oldest building in the village is a barn of 1666, right next to the entrance; Nearby can be found a "Kro" (Krug=jug, or inn). During the summer there are often opportunities, on request, to practice weaving or making pottery, etc. Andersen's fairytales are performed in the open-air theater.
