"Fünen Village" is a unique open-air museum, the largest in Denmark , where you can personally observe the traditional way of life of Danish peasants, as it was hundreds of years ago.
The museum is a reliably recreated Danish village of the storyteller Andersen, who, by the way, was born nearby. Residential wooden houses of the XVI-XIX centuries for the creation of the museum were moved to Odense from all over the island of Funun . Besides them, here, like in a real prosperous village, there are shops, workshops, picturesque windmills and water mills, a forge and own brewery. Among the orchards and arable lands there are livestock farms where native breeds of horses, sheep and red Danish cows can be seen.
Costume reconstruction
The most interesting is in the "Village of Finns" in Odense in the summer season, when members of the local "Living History" are dressed in national costumes and accepted for the traditional affairs of the peasants: they work in orchards, cultivate fields, brew beer and prepare national dishes , come from the smithy hammer blows.
On the farm "residents" contain about fifty animals, and this is not just a decorative detail - everything that livestock provides is used for its intended purpose: sheep wool becomes yarn, cheese is made from milk and butter is knocked off, and on sturdy, plow the land.
In addition, historical folk handicrafts and handicrafts are carefully preserved here - "villagers" mold and paint pots, do wood carving, women spin wool and knit traditional things that have been worn in Denmark for a long time.
Festivals and holidays
If you visit the "Fün village" during the holidays , you can observe authentic Danish ceremonies, listen to folk songs and read the stories of Hans Christian Andersen. Those who wish can even take part in the action - to lead round dances with "village folk", to join the burning of pagan stuffed animals.
How to get to the "Funny Village"?
Considering the fact that the famous open-air museum is located very close to Odense, it is not difficult to get to it. The fastest way to get there is by car that can be rented or just take a taxi. Yes, and a lot of public transport to the village goes a lot: buses №110 and №111 stop at the very gates of the museum. Those who prefer to travel alone can rent a bike in the city - you can get to the museum by rotating the pedals in less than an hour.
Among other things, in the center of Odense, not far from the Andersen Museum, there is a pier where a river tram stopping along the river stops. On it you can leisurely swim to the village of Funny, on the way admiring river landscapes. There is river transport in Denmark every hour, and the way to the museum overcomes the minutes in forty. It is especially good to travel along the river in the heat.
