Egeskov Slot seems to be the crown jewel of Fyn and is even listed in the "1000 Places to See Before You Die" book we carry around.  We arrived twenty minutes before the 'museums' closed, but we were more interested in the gardens anyway.  I think Russ has had enough of 'big house' tours.

Egeskov is privately owned, but the grounds have been open to the public for years.  The estate covers some 40 acres and includes a number of gardens, mazes, a 'tree-top' walk, a variety of museums, a deer park, streams, and a small lake.  It is apparent that the current owners have carefully planned something for everyone, no matter what age, and it would be very easy to spend one or even two days looking through everything.  I didn't look closely at the garden map while we were there, which was probably a good idea - we may have never left.

Egeskov is celebrating its 450th anniversary this year.
