Rolling out of Hamburg, the road softens into low Danish fields; the vehicle eases over bridges, and the driver points toward a silhouette on the horizon — a stone castle sitting in glassy water. The stop in Odense gives passengers two hours to step off the road and into Egeskov Castle’s moat-side grounds, where conical towers and brick walls still project the practicality of 16th-century defense.
