Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Odense is worth a detour. Situated 35 miles from Skælskør, it boasts some terrific attractions, such as Hans Christian Andersen Museum and Odense Zoo. Copenhagen, 60 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the trek. Stop by Nyhavn and Little Mermaid, two top-notch sights in the area.
