Denmark - Funen (PDF Chapter)
This is the Funen chapter from Lonely Planet’s Denmark guidebook.
Funen (Fyn in Danish) is Denmark’s proverbial middle child. Lacking Zealand’s capital-city pull or Jutland’s geographic dominance, it’s often overlooked by visitors, who rarely do more than make a whistle-stop visit to Hans Christian Andersen’s birthplace, Odense.
