Odder Municipality (Danish: Odder Kommune) is a municipality (Danish: kommune) in the Central Denmark Region on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula in Central Denmark south of Aarhus.

The municipality covers an area of 225.04 km², including the islands of Alrø and Tunø.

Denmark has historically been divided into syssels in the middle ages, and Hads Hundred was part of Løversyssel.

Hads Hundred was part of Skanderborg Fief from 1597-1650, after which it turned into Åkær County in 1660.

South of that are a series of schools and the Grundtvigianism church Odder Grundtvigske Valgmenighedskirke.

It includes three sports halls, swimming pools, football stadiums and a café.

In Hou is a marina and harbour, with daily ferry departures to Samsø and Tunø.

[9] The coastal town of Saksild is located 6 km east of Odder and borders the Kattegat.

The beach has garnered popularity due to its white sand, grassy banks and shallow clear water.

[13] Norsminde Fjord, north-west of Odder, cuts the village of Norsminde in two, with the northern part of the village located in Aarhus Municipality and the southern part in Odder Municipality.

[16] Near the center of the town of Odder is a protected nature area known as Stampmølledalen, home to a forest and the brook Stampmøllebækken.

It has been protected since 2000, to ensure free access to nature for the citizens of Odder, as well as to preserve the area home to the common kingfisher, a rare species in Denmark.

The total protected area, across both Odder and Horsens Municipality span 2,100 acres.

[19] Søby Rev are a series of small islands and islet located in Kattegat south of Hou.

A number of small uninhabited islands and islets, known as Pollerne, are located east of Alrø.

The fjord is an important area for birds, and has a varied surrounding nature that includes hills and beach meadows.

It is rich in food, so it is a popular foraging spot for coot, wigeon, mallard, tufted duck, teal, mute swan, lapwing, golden plover, dunlin and oystercatcher.

The vegetation in the fjord itself is dominated by ulva lactuca, which can at times block out the sun for other plants in the water.

It grew together to form the current island over time, and is today covered in vegetation.

This also means that there is barely any forests, though roe deer and several other mammals still live on the island.

The greylag goose and white-tailed eagle breed on the island, and great cormorant is also commonly seen.

The protected area amounts to 3.5 km² or 348 acres in total, and only excludes Tunø By and a small part of the harbour.

The common blue butterfly is found on Tunø, though is rare in the rest of Denmark.
