About
The Washing Site at Odense River
H.C. Andersen's mother worked as a washerwoman and washed clothes in Odense Å. Along the river, there were several washing places where the women could put their soapy water. When the clothes had to be rinsed, the women stood out in the creek in water to their knees all year round, using the natural current.
