You settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle in Copenhagen and watch the city’s spires thin into ribboned farmland as you head west. Bridges and inlets slide past the windows; the landscape shifts from Zealand’s low coastline to Funen’s patchwork fields. The driver eases off the motorway for a two-hour stop at a water castle that appears unchanged since the 16th century—stone towers ringed by a still moat and gardens that demand a slow walk.
