What the devil? The Witch Hunt Museum

The best known Danish witch Maren Spliids came from Ribe - where this museum is located. It's all about superstitions and persecution, and the fates of those who were said to have served the devil.

Join us in the underworld: The Cisterns

Built between 1856 and 1859, the cisterns in Frederiksberg were once used as water reservoirs before being left, forgotten, under the city for decades. They were opened to the public a few years ago and have since served as a dark, wet and cold backdrop for extrasensory art experiences. Immerse yourself in the underworld here in the truest sense of the word...

On display, you'll find preserved human organs and body parts, whole fetuses and medical instruments from the days when pain-free operations were just a distant dream. The artifacts from the extensive collection, some of which date back to the 17th century, will make you shudder to your core.

The abandoned theme park: Fun Time Fyn

What could be creepier than an old abandoned theme park, a place once alive with the laughter of children and now strangely silent. Fun Park Fyn, in Aarup, has decaying slides and algae-covered boating lakes and is just the food that dark imaginations crave...
