Local history and art in Søndersø

Søndersø dates back to around 1100 as a village. The Tørne iron sculpture offers a connection to more recent local history. It stands at a roundabout in Søndersø and was created by the artist Kurt Tegtmeier. In 2000, it was installed on a road that had previously been the main road between Bogense and Odense. Tørne thus brings together the history of a work of art and the road’s former significance as a main road.

The church in Søndersø also offers a historical connection: in the Middle Ages, it was dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Its dedication adds a different time frame to the more recent history of the sculpture. Anyone interested in the town’s development can therefore find a connection both to medieval church history and to a former main road.

Trails and exercise

Søndersø has a network of trails with connections to Morud and Langesøskoven. There are also four Clover Trails, which can be used for walking, cycling or running. The Clover Trails offer you a choice of ways to get active, while the trail network connects to two named destinations. Either option can shape your plans, depending on whether you are interested in a particular activity or in the routes to the destinations mentioned.

Activities in Søndersø Town Park

Søndersø Town Park has a large climbing course and a skatepark. An obstacle course runs along Carlsvej to the town park. The activities differ in form: climbing and skating are available in the park, while the obstacle course follows the road to get there. When choosing, you can distinguish between activities in the park and a route connected to Carlsvej.

Another way to experience Søndersø is with the activity book “Adventures in Søndersø with Noah and Sofia” (“Med Noah og Sofia på eventyr i Søndersø”). It combines reading, play and a town walk. The three different adventures include choices that determine how the story unfolds. This brings reading and play together with a walk around town.

You can borrow the physical activity book from Søndersø Library, Odensevej 8, using a library card. If you plan to borrow it, check the library’s local arrangements before your trip.
