Guided tour

Enjoy our guided garden tour
The writer’s love of nature is reflected in the organically shaped building and a varied and luxuriant garden. In the garden you move along curving paths past rounded hedges in a gardenscape inspired by the senses and moods of Andersen’s fairy tales. Here the grass and thousands of flowers are allowed to grow as they will, so that bees can be heard humming in the life-giving garden in the heart of the city.
Instead of retelling the well-known fairy tales one-on-one, the garden lets the visitor take the lead role, and from here explore the garden and the universe of H.C. Andersen’s fairy tales.
