DENMARK
FUNEN, LANGELAND AND AARO
678 miles of seashore and over 100 species of game fish make Funen, Langeland, and Ærø attractive for yachtsmen and anglers alike. On shore, the delightful countryside is simply ideal for cycling. Quaint villages, moated castles, and Renaissance manor houses greet you around every bend. At the centre of Funen is Odense, birthplace of story-teller Hans Christian Andersen. He called Funen "The Garden of Denmark". The name still fits.
