Ditlevsdal Bison Farm: A slice of the prairie on North Funen
You don’t have to cross the Atlantic to come face to face with the impressive American bison. At Morud on North Funen, you’ll find Europe’s largest bison farm, Ditlevsdal. Here, around 300 of these mighty animals live in the rolling Funen landscape. Today, the farm is one of the island's most unique destinations, where a love for the bison is the heart of the entire experience.
Get up close to the mighty animals
One of the most popular experiences at Ditlevsdal is the guided bison safari. You’ll ride out among the herd in a tractor-drawn trailer while the guide tells stories about the history of the bison, their fascinating behavior, and how the farm started with just a few animals back in 1993. It’s a powerful experience to feel the thrill as these ton-heavy animals graze close to the wagon.
First-class "Field to Fork"
Ditlevsdal aims to give guests a holistic experience where animal welfare and food quality go hand in hand. Bison meat is known for being low in fat, tender, and full of flavor:
- The Restaurant: Enjoy a juicy bison steak or their famous bison burger in rustic surroundings. The restaurant also frequently hosts popular events like "Bison & BBQ."
- The Farm Shop: Here you can buy everything from delicious cuts and sausages to specialties and souvenirs, so you can take the taste of Ditlevsdal home with you.
