At Egeskov Castle, in the south of the island of Funen, in Denmark)

 "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

==================================================================
(in the south of the island of Funen, in Denmark) Funen, the third-largest island of Denmark, is located in the central part of the country. Funen is linked to Zealand, Denmark's largest island, by the Great Belt Bridge, which carries both trains and cars. Two bridges connect Funen to the Danish mainland, Jutland. The Old Little Belt Bridge was constructed in the 1930s shortly before World War II for both cars and trains. The New Little Belt Bridge, a suspension bridge, was constructed in the 1970s and is used for cars only. Apart from the main city, Odense, all major towns are located in coastal areas. Featured here is Egeskov Castle -- found near the town of Kværndrup in the south of Funen --, which is considered to be one of Europe's best preserved Renaissance water castles. A turreted Renaissance fortress circled by a large lake and lush forestland, Egeskov Castle will delight visitors searching for the perfect fairy tale castle. And while imagination is really all you need, as with all fantastic tales, there’s more to this castle than immediately meets the eye. There’s a play forest here, several mazes, and a tree-top walk, a Dracula’s Crypt to investigate -- plus Lego workshops in the summer. Egeskov Castle, completed in 1554, has more than 66 rooms, 200 windows, and 171 doors.
