The best city hikes and walks around Stilling-Solbjerg Sø

Odder's central market square. In the middle of the square is a fountain with a sculpture and some seating around it.

In this beautiful church, I learned that not all Danish churches have a model of a traditional sailing ship in their interior, as I had previously assumed. What's particularly beautiful about this church, in addition to the successful combination of historical furnishings with new elements, such as the new mosaic glass panes, are the partially preserved frescoes on the side walls.

On a siding next to the service buildings at Odder Station, in front of some old freight cars, stands an old railbus from the days when the line wasn't yet electrified. Judging by the driver, the vehicle doesn't seem to be able to leave its parking space... 😉

Odder Å is a river about 16 kilometers long in the Central Jutland region of Denmark. It rises south of Tornsbjerg Skov and flows mainly in an easterly and northeasterly direction through the town of Odder before emptying into the western part of Norsminde Fjord. The river is known for its healthy population of sea trout and brown trout, making it a popular destination for anglers. The last three kilometers before the mouth of the fjord are particularly interesting when the sea trout start their migration.
