Go for a walk in Munke Mose

Munke Mose is a park on Odense River right in the middle of the city with beautiful nature and a small kiosk where you can buy a cup of coffee or ice cream to enjoy on your walk. 🍦

Visit Stige Ø

If you long for a walk on the hillside, then you can visit Stige Ø (here, Ø = island). If you’re bringing your bike to Codegarden, there’s a 3.5 km bike track that includes a dirt jump track where you can live out your stuntman dreams.

Sail down the river with Odense River Cruise

Odense River Cruise is based by the kiosk in Munke Mose and you can also buy your ticket here.

It has three stops: Munke Mose, Odense Zoo, and near Skovsøen. Since your ticket counts both ways, you can get off at every stop or use it as a round-trip ride. Just remember to get a separate ticket for the Zoo if you want to get off there.
