The fish ladder is located at Munke Mose in central Odense and was built in 2006 to ensure that fish can move freely throughout the Odense River. It's a popular spot for gatherings with friends and family, especially when the sun is shining.

Nearby you'll also find:
Odense Aafart, which sails the river in summer and rents rowboats and pedal boats.

Nelle's Coffee, which makes sure you get a delicious latte for your break in the countryside.

A cute little playground inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale about Thumbelina.

The sculpture "The Seahorse," which guards the river right at the park's entrance.

Havhesten (Sea Horse) Fountain, Munke Mose, Odense

Highlight • Monument

The "Havhesten" (Seahorse) is a famous sculpture and fountain in Odense. Located at the entrance to Munke Mose Park, directly on the banks of the Odense River (near the Slusebroen, or Lock Bridge), it depicts a powerful, snorting mythical creature with the upper body of a horse and a mermaid on its back. The sculpture is made of bronze.

Created by the Danish sculptor Carl Hugo Liisberg, the artwork was erected in 1939. The sculpture is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's play "Agnete and the Water Sprite," specifically by Agnete's lullaby, which was part of one of Andersen's more dramatic poems. The figure symbolizes the connection between humans and the mythical creatures of the water.

The sculpture is a popular attraction in Munke Mose and a distinctive landmark of the city.
