Ditlevsdal Bison Farm: A taste of the Wild West in North Funen

Nestled among the beautiful rolling hills of North Funen, you'll find Ditlevsdal Bison Farm – Europe's largest bison farm. Here, you can get up close to magnificent American bison, enjoy a delicious meal featuring bison meat or spend the night surrounded by nature with views of the animals.

But Ditlevsdal is much more than a bison farm. With its restaurant, farm shop, fun activities and cosy places to stay, it's a place where nature, great food and warm hospitality come together.

Get up close to these magnificent animals

One of the biggest highlights at Ditlevsdal is the guided bison safari. Hop aboard an open-sided, covered prairie wagon and head out onto the North Funen prairie, where you can watch these magnificent animals in their familiar surroundings.

Along the way, your guide will share fascinating facts about American bison, their behaviour and daily life on the farm. You'll also hear stories from Ditlevsdal's history, which began in 1993 when bison farmer Niels Henrik Ove founded the farm.

A guided safari lasts around 45–55 minutes and is a great experience for both children and adults. Safaris run all year round, and booking ahead is recommended as places often fill up quickly.

Tours are normally conducted in Danish, but information leaflets in English and German are available to help you follow along. Groups of at least 20 people can also arrange an English-language guided tour in advance.

Restaurant: Bison takes centre stage

At Restaurant Ditlevsdal, bison meat is the star of the show. Settle into the cosy, rustic surroundings and enjoy a delicious meal while taking in views of the beautiful countryside and the bison grazing in the fields.

The kitchen focuses on quality ingredients and freshly prepared food, combining classic dishes with creative new ideas – always with bison meat taking centre stage.

The restaurant also hosts a variety of events and dining experiences:

Friday buffet: As a rule, the restaurant serves a delicious buffet every Friday, featuring bison meat as a key part of the menu.
Special events: Ditlevsdal regularly hosts food events with tempting treats such as Bison Burger Lunch and Bison Brunch.
Parties and celebrations: From birthdays and weddings to confirmations and other special occasions, Ditlevsdal offers a lovely setting for your celebration.

Check the restaurant's event calendar and remember to book your table in advance.

Fun and activities for everyone

There's plenty of room to play, explore and unwind at the farm. Children can burn off some energy on the large playground or test their skills on the fun Native American-themed obstacle course.

It's a lovely place to spend time together, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and soak up the special sense of calm that comes with being close to these magnificent animals.
