Region of Southern Denmark

Covering Funen and southern Jutland, home to Andersen's Odense, LEGOLAND and the Wadden Sea National Park.

The Region of Southern Denmark includes southern Jutland, Funen and surrounding islands, and borders Germany to the south. Odense, the main city on Funen, is Hans Christian Andersen's birthplace and has a museum dedicated to him, while the island also has Renaissance castles such as Egeskov. Billund is the birthplace of LEGO, and LEGOLAND and the LEGO House attract families. Ribe is Denmark's oldest town, and the Wadden Sea National Park on the west coast is a World Heritage site where you can see starling murmurations and seals. Summer is the high season. Billund Airport is the main gateway, and trains cross the Great Belt Bridge to Copenhagen.
