Picked up my rental car (took FOREVER!!) and drove to the place I rented in Odense. Cute place. Terrible WiFi but I’m just being patient while doing these blog updates. Couldn’t get the washer to work at first but figured it out. No fan, but I left the windows open so that I could sleep.
Went shopping for food the next morning and had an amazing lunch of a tuna salad sandwich on brown bread, potato salad, and pickles. Yum.
Drove out to some troll spots on Fyn…
I visited some churches were my ancestors would have attended, been christened, been buried. Never was able to find any gravestones, but that’s not surprising since most of them died or left Denmark by 1900.
Tved Kirke
Saint Nicolai Kirke in Svendborg
I drove to Egeskov Castle but didn’t want to pay $25 so here’s as close as I got haha
Sonderso cemetery
Drove back to the place I’m stayed, parked the car, and walked into downtown Odense.
Hans Christian Andersen’s childhood home
Sankt Knuds church
They were having a flower festival in the main square
Hans Christian Andersen Hus – activity place for kids…cool architecture
HCA’s enormous mug. He’s a big deal here 🙂
Vor Frue Kirke
Statue of the Steadfast Tin Soldier from the Andersen tale
St Alban’s church
On Sunday, I ventured a bit farther afield for more trolls and churches…
Folding Kirke
House of Lego – Billund – The birthplace of Lego
An incredible place! I didn’t go all the way through because it was late in the day and it’s really intended for kids, but the store was awesome, the building and play things outside were super fun, and so much cool Lego art!
One of the fun things about the troll hunt is that most of them are out in very wild places and require hikes to get to. This one required going all the way around a lake!
