Funen County - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fyns Amt (English: Funen County) is a county (Danish, amt) in central Denmark, comprising the islands of Funen, Langeland, Tåsinge, Ærø, and approximately 90 other islands, of which only 25 are inhabited. |
 | | Funen County's coat-of-arms shows three connected gold hop leaves on a field of red, which represent the three former counties of Odense, Svendborg and Assens. |
 | | The choice of hop leaves comes from Funen native Hans Christian Andersen's song "I Danmark er jeg født" ("In Denmark I was born"), where he refers to Funen as "Æblegård og humlehave" (Apple farm and hop garden). |
