Munkebo Hill
A Viking Age power center with perhaps the most beautiful view of Funen
and the experience is free.
A family of Viking kings from Funen lived on Munkebo Hill.
Archaeological excavations have revealed a settlement here,
a power center from the late Iron Age and Viking Age (ca. 550-950 AD)
at the top of the hill.
Several Viking Age houses, pit houses, and a mighty "King's Hall" surrounded by a strong wooden wall have been found.
From here, the King of Ladby could control the surrounding landscape, overlooking Odense Fjord, Kertinge Nor, and the Great Belt.
At the top of the observation tower, you are 58 meters above sea level,
and you have fantastic views in all directions.
The Viking Age and the region's history are told through posters at the information center or can be experienced through play.

The information center has a restroom with wheelchair access.

Bakken has many tables and benches where you can enjoy your packed lunch or coffee in beautiful surroundings.

Munkebo Bakke has one of the most beautiful views on Funen. The hill is 58.4 meters high and at the top the observation tower is a symbol of the historical importance of the hill.
In the Viking Age, the hill was of great strategic importance as a guard post.
The tower on Loddenhøjen was built in 1993 to replace the old lookout tower from the 1890s.
It's free to visit Munkebo Bakke.

Funen's most beautiful view - enjoy it from the hill and from the top of the tower, which is 58 m above sea level - or sit in the Viking ship - there is a copy of the Ladby ship - and dream that you are around the world sailing - you can also immerse yourself in the many panels with the marked Viking finds and, last but not least, in the information house, where the history of Der Hügel is illustrated. There is a disabled toilet in the information center.

There are many tables/benches on the hill where you can enjoy the food or coffee you brought with you in the most beautiful surroundings while the children play in the Viking ship or in the labyrinth.
