This town walk in Odder suits both short and long legs.

Start the tour on the Square (Torvet)

Starting from the Square (Torvet) and the beautiful Centralhotel from 1907, you should walk past Odder Pharmacy (Apotek), which actually dates back to 1852.

Back then, the pharmacy was where the Central Hotel is today. The Square was not yet established – instead it was a beautiful garden. The first pharmacist was a keen gardener. In 1906, the pharmacy moved to its current location.

Swing past the old Prison (Arrest)

The tour continues past the old courthouse and prison from 1856, which closed in 1939. Together with Central Hotel, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Odder if you ask us!

Move on over Rådhustorvet to Aabygaden, where you can get a glimpse of the dome of the private observatory, built by Torvald Køhl, who was a private astronomer and pioneer in researching and disseminating knowledge about astronomy.

Then follow Nørregade to Nygade. Here – at the top of the many steps – you will find Odder’s Reunification Stone, which was unveiled on Midsummer’s Eve in 1922 to celebrate the reunification with South Jutland. The stone itself was found in the field of Snærild Fattiggård.

Enjoy the coffee from Madam Blå pots at Odder museum

Odder Museum

Destination Coastal Land

The end of the splendour must, of course, be Odder Museum Odder Museum.

Here you can buy a good cup of coffee served in Madam Blå pots. You can also enjoy it on the grass somewhere in the area.

And cake is also a must, and it is fortunate that Fru Møller gets up early and bakes pretzel-shaped pastries for the museum.

Tip! The perfect photo spot

Are you going to take a memory home from a lovely day? The bridge over the duck pond is the perfect photo spot. Here you have both the pond and the old mill house in the background – it doesn’t get any more idyllic than that.
