Peer Kjaer Managing Director Liberty International Scandinavia Denmark

Interview with Peer Kjaer How did you get involved in the travel industry and with Liberty in particular? After graduating from university with a degree in Japanese in 1989, I was headhunted by the Tumlare Corporation, at that time the largest tour operator in Japan, to head up their Japan section in Copenhagen. Over the past 25 years, I have worked for companies such as Kuoni, Carlson Wagonlit and Robinson Scandinavia, being involved in management, product development, supplier negotiations, sales and marketing and many other areas. However, I always wanted to be independent and work on a more global scale. It was purely by chance that I “stumbled” across Liberty 2 years ago. Realizing that it was a very large organization, I contacted Liberty to ask why they had no presence in Scandinavia. Their reply was a simple one: “we have wanted to venture into the Scandinavian market for a number of years, but so far have not found the right person to open a Scandinavian office.” We very quickly started negotiations, the upshot of which was myself and a partner signing a contract with Liberty to establish Liberty Scandinavia, which officially opened its doors on 1st May 2012. Liberty is different to most other DMCs as all its offices have a co-ownership format - 49% by local partners, such as myself, and 51% by Prague-based parent company Liberty International Tourism Group. This means that all offices are co-owned by local entrepreneurs. Liberty is a massive global tourism group with 20 years of experience; how did it begin and develop, and, in respect of the Scandinavian market, what approach will you be taking to? Are the challenges you face different to those encountered by your colleagues in the rest of the world? Liberty was established almost 22 years ago by a visionary Austrian, Mario Enzesberger, who saw new opportunities afforded by the fall of the Iron Curtain. He opened the first Liberty office in Prague and gradually began to realize the potential of bringing smaller DMCs together in a network to exploit the synergies of their individual competencies. Over the years, this network has transformed into a fully-fledged company with headquarters in Prague and offices in more than 50 countries throughout the world, all of which are co-owned by local entrepreneurs. A significant part of the company’s focus has been on sales, and Liberty now has 22 local sales offices that operate independently of the DMCs.

Today, the Liberty Group also owns hotels in several countries, as well as a flourishing chain of lodges in East Africa. The latest addition to the Liberty firmament is located in Japan and co-owned by Liberty Scandinavia. The main office is being kept relatively small – our founder Mario Enzesberger still owns 51% of the company The Venture Denmark product manual and website will be made available to Liberty; how will this help you in your daily and weekly tasks? Product and destination knowledge is becoming ever more important in our industry. Practically all travellers now use the Internet to search for information. But the information out there is not always true or accurate. Personalized, face-to-face advice remains a vital part of the booking process for most travellers who opt to use their local travel agent, as they feel that they will get all the facts. Consequently, having an up-to-date product manual with maps of the region continues to be an essential tool for travel project managers. Can you tell us a little bit about the average tourist travelling to Scandinavia? Do they fit the typical profile of a tourist and does that profile vary from nation to nation? For example, is the typical American travelling to northern Europe different from their Chinese or Russian counterparts? Every tourist is unique, therefore you cannot adopt a “one size fits all” approach when dealing with them, be they Chinese or Russian – they cannot be regarded as merely being tourists, they are more than that. First and foremost, a tourist is a customer who has bought a product. We have to focus must be on the customer’s individual needs, and so cultural understanding is of paramount importance. Each nationality must be handled individually, applying an understanding of their specific needs and requirements. What is clear is that we are now seeing a trend in which people are moving away from off-the-shelf products towards more customized packages. This is true for both groups and individual travellers. Travelling to Scandinavia is still for the few! For your typical tourist, Scandinavia is only 4th, 5th or 6th on the list of destinations to visit. In their minds, you have to see London, Berlin, Rome and Barcelona before even thinking about venturing to Scandinavia.

Mario Malliaros Director, Pro Bus Jutland Germany

Interview with Mario Malliaros How did you end up in the travel business? It had been always my wish to work in tourism, so after school I learned the profession to become a travel agent in an agency. After that, I moved to a big tour operator, where I could depress my knowledge in many different sectors of the tourism business. A few years later I moved to the sector of incoming tourism and took over the direction of a German spa to be responsible for a whole destination. On a tourism fair in 2003 I got in touch with some Danish tourist players and after some good talks, a glass of wine and a lot of fun an idea was settled and Pro Bus Jylland was born. Since that time our target is to develop and sell bus and group tourism primary for the area of Vestjylland but also for the rest of the whole country and we are proud to say that Pro Bus Jylland today has become the leading company in bus and group tourism for Jylland in the meanwhile. Our goal is to be no. 1 for whole Denmark in future. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see how far we will get, we still love what we do and try the best for all of us. How many tourists/business travelers do you send to Scandinavia each year, and what will you say is the average profile of the people who wishes to visit Denmark? The average profile of a Danish tourist is classical a family holiday in a summerhouse. We try to bring up a relatively new type of tourist to make the cake bigger. Our target is the bus tourist which you can say has an age of around 60 years and older. So we talk about the best ager generation we are trying to convince to come up to the north. Important for this group target is to come closer with the local people and its culture, have a lot of different experiences, see a lot of the country, offer them to be active as well if they wish, a good standard in accommodation and off course good food. All this you can find in Denmark easily so the destination is the perfect target for the clients we are going after. How do you plan to use the Venture Denmark manual and what do you think of it? To have a Danish version of the manual would be a big help for us. It will give us some new inspiration and will show us some more possibilities what to do and what to offer new to our customers. So we look very much forward to this manual!

Copenhagen and East Zealand A feast for all the senses

The fact that the Tivoli Gardens amusement park is located right in the heart of Copenhagen should reveal something about the city − it’s made for having fun! The one-square-kilometre area that is the city centre provides an intense concentration of culture, history, shopping, and some very alluring nightlife. But it doesn’t stop there - in recent years, traditional residential districts on all four points of the compass from the centre have evolved into bustling areas full of attraction. All along the gentrified main harbour front and its many branches, newer constructions pay homage to advances in beautiful modern architecture, while a mixture of various periods of buildings adorn most parts of the city centre. Copenhagen is arguably the bicycle capital of the world, with hundreds of kilometres of cycle paths meandering through every corner of town. Bikes can be hired, or visitors may pick up a free City Bike for riding within the ramparts. If walking or two-wheeled transport isn’t your thing, the city also boasts an exceptionally well-functioning public transport system. Sightseers may also opt to sit back in a rickshaw, a canal boat or hire a golf cart and drive around the city. History and culture in a city of parks Many of the old ramparts of the city have been turned into parks, which provide fantastic shortcuts when moving from sight to sight. The National Gallery of Denmark is located at the junction of three parks, including the Royal (King’s) Gardens where the crown jewels are on display at Rosenborg Castle. Not far away is the royal residence of Amalienborg, which is made up of four individual palaces huddled around a vast square. A few steps toward the harbour is Amaliehaven, a garden-park that offers an impressive view of the Royal Danish Theatre’s opera house. The imposing opera building is located amid the centuries-old naval base, Holmen. The entire area is a complex of artificial islands and charming canals that includes the maritime-flavoured Christianshavn, where the controversial “free state” of Christiania is located. This is a former military barracks now occupied by people living alternative lifestyles and who, for the past 40 years, have resisted attempts to evict them. Across the harbour from Christiania stands the old Copenhagen Bourse and a cluster of government buildings, including Christiansborg Palace, a former royal residence and now seat of the Danish parliament. Just across a canal is the main shopping district, with the pedestrian street Strøget as its main artery. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv, the square on which the Royal Theatre is located, to City Hall Square near Tivoli, the street is a shopper’s paradise. With a mix of Danish and international names, Strøget offers luxury shopping 20

The palate and the palette With a constellation of around a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants - including Noma, deemed the world’s best for the past three years - Copenhagen has become a cherished destination for “foodies.” The success of Noma has spurred a revival in traditional culinary values that have been dubbed “New Nordic” cuisine. Gourmets will delight in new spins on older recipes, but all around Copenhagen visitors will find a broad range of excellent fare to suit every appetite - and wallet. For lunches and sightseeing breaks, cafés serve delectable sandwiches or smaller dishes. The word café has become virtually synonymous with pub, and many cafés remain open until the wee small hours, as do the city’s pubs. A must-see spot is Nyhavn, the canal often depicted on postcards. A strip of eateries and watering holes lines the “sunny” side of the canal. Art lovers wandering the streets of Copenhagen will find a full range of museums and galleries. Bredgade, a street that forms one of the spokes connected to the hub of Kongens Nytorv, is home to most of the city’s major galleries and art auction houses. The area also has several spots where discerning visitors can find vintage and modern Danish furniture. While Copenhagen is the undisputed centre of culture, two contemporary art museums are just a 30-minute train ride from the city: Louisiana to the north and Arken to the south.

at one end and more modest merchandise at the other. A favourite pastime of many savvy shoppers is to scour the side streets to find unique Danish designs.

East Zealand offers culture and countryside charm East Zealand, with Copenhagen as its hub, offers a wealth of cultural activities at museums or galleries and in its lush natural surroundings. It is surprising how quickly natural beauty can be found just a few kilometres outside the capital. While Copenhagen dominates the region, attractions abound on any route leading into the city. Charlottenlund Fort, a 20th century defence installation just a 20-minute bike ride from the centre of Copenhagen, lies between long stretches of sandy beaches. Across the coastal road, visitors find the first link of a chain of forested areas extending to the top of the island. A few minutes further north, the Klampenborg (subway) train station bustles with activity as Copenhageners head for their favourite beach - Bellevue Strand - or Dyrehaven.

Dy reh ave n

Dyrehaven was founded in 1669 and the 1,100 hectares of park have been stocked with four species of deer, as the area was once a royal hunting ground. Hardwoods are thinned to allow for maximum growth and the trees alone are a magnificent sight, complemented by the imposing sound of rutting bucks in the autumn. Golfers who play the challenging course in the centre of the park must yield to the semi-tame deer that pay no heed to players’ shouts of “fore!” nearby. Bakken, located at the southern end of Dyrehaven, near Klampenborg Station, is feted as the world’s oldest amusement park. The wooden roller-coaster has long been an exciting treat for families. Art, history and culture along the coast A small fishing village, Dragør, is located next to Copenhagen Airport. Though it has grown through the years, the fishermen’s houses and merchants’ buildings near the little harbour remain much as they were a couple of centuries ago. The nearby village of Store Magleby hosts an annual medieval-themed festival just before the start of Lent. The area was settled in the 1500s by Dutch immigrants whose expertise in growing vegetables provided Copenhageners with fresh produce. In fact, Dutch was the predominant language of the area for more than 300 years.

Køge is a mid-sized market town on Køge Bay, which begins just outside Copenhagen and extends southwards. Its sandy beaches and the shallow waters all along the shore are a favourite with families. Several art museums and galleries dot the shoreline of the bay, and the remains of many churches dating from the early days of Danish Christianity can be found in the region. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, Køge hosts a market on the aptly-named Market Square, where visitors will find local produce, handicrafts and other temptations. A popular beach near the town is at Mosede Fort, a defunct modern defence site that has been turned into a park. 21

Taking a walk through the streets of Køge’s city centre, you will experience the beautiful old and well preserved houses on one hand, representing 700 years of town history, and on the other hand you will see Køge as an enterprising, modern town with splendid cultural events and great shopping. Køge was founded by royal order at the first place south of Copenhagen that had a natural harbor. The order was issued in the years prior to 1288, and placing the town also included the design of a town plan. This plan continues to provide setting for the old town centre up to our days. Køge was granted a municipal charter in 1288. Nowadays you can plan a holiday or a businesstrip in advance by means of brochures and the internet, book accommodations and make plans for what to see and experience. Nevertheless if you plan on behalf of others you might need that little extra information and more details about the place your customers want to go, just to make sure they get what they had in mind. At VisitKøge, we make a point of personal service and assistance to ensure that your customer gets the best possible stay in Køge. Please contacts us.

KØS is Denmark’s museum dedicated to art in public spaces. The museum was originally established in 1977 and is located in the pedestrian street of Nørregade in the heart of charming Køge. Its collections are supplemented by a popular museum shop and café. Being the country’s only museum specialising in the kind of art familiar to all – from our shared urban spaces, hospitals, castles, churches, and other public areas – gives KØS a unique feel. Just as a museum of architecture does not collect finished buildings, KØS does not collect finished works of art – those belong in the public sphere. Instead, the museum collections comprise more than 7,000 drawings, models, and other preliminary works for these unique works of art. One of the museum highlights is Bjørn Nørgaard’s sketches for the Queen’s tapestries at Christiansborg Castle, home of the Danish parliament.

Smørrebrød (Open faced sandwiches) dates back to the 19th century and is the traditional Danish lunch. Today smørrebrød has been given a revival and has become a trendy lunch for especially young Danes. There are several Smørrebrøds restaurants in Copenhagen. The wealth of dining options means that Copenhagen has high quality restaurants to accommodate all pockets, tastes and cuisines. Green city While in Copenhagen – go green. From organic restaurants through carbon neutral beer to climate friendly shops, hotels, electrical busses and cars and even hairdressers. Eat, drink, drive, shop and sleep with a clear conscience and pamper your body and soul with organic and climate-friendly products while visiting. Old and new architecture Danish design is renowned worldwide for its timeless elegance, quality and functionality. Internationally acclaimed architects such as Sir Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel, Henning Larsen and Daniel Libeskind have left their mark on the Danish capital in recent years. But still contemporary constructions blend in beautifully with the city’s historical buildings and palaces. The key elements of the recent architectural boom in Copenhagen are water, space and light. The emergence of bold urban planning and world-class architecture is found in three key areas: Ørestad, Copenhagen Port, including The Marble Pier, and Copenhagen city. Photo: Tuala Hjarnø

About the firm Peter and Ping Peter and Ping is a small family firm consisting of mother and daughter as the main guides and 3-4 other guides. We have a great interest in literature in common as well as an interest in the history of Copenhagen, and we all have degrees in literature. Our firm makes literary walks in and around Copenhagen, and the main purpose is to make writers, texts, and city districts interact. At present we cover more than 30 different walks, and we keep introducing new walks, inspired by new reading and people we meet when we walk. It’s a great delight to us, and we hope you’ll enjoy it too. You can read more about some of our international writers, such as Hans Christian Andersen, Søren Kierkegaard, Georg Brandes and Karen Blixen at our website. We also include Henrik Ibsen. Admittedly, he was Norwegian, but Denmark and Norway shared the same king for more than 500 years, and Ibsen’s impact on Danish (and world!) literature has been enormous. A little background Peter and Ping was established in the summer of 2004, inspired by London Walks, but on a much smaller scale. We do not wish to expand too much. Like Denmark, we prefer to stay small! But our aim is to inspire Scandinavians, as well as people from abroad, and make them study and enjoy our literature! Join us for a walk. Or even better: phone/mail us and order your own walk in English. We make group tours for only 10 people (and up to 30). They last between one and a half and two hours and take you through some interesting streets - often off the beaten tracks.

Lookout Tower – Observatory – Exhibitions – Concerts One of the best-known and most popular structures in Denmark, the Round Tower has been a distinctive feature of the Copenhagen skyline since 1642. Once University astronomers studied the stars and planets from the Observatory at the top. Today visitors are still able to gaze at the cosmos from Europe’s oldest functioning observatory. The platform that runs around the outside of the Observatory affords views over the old Latin Quarter – from here, you can spot most of the city’s famous buildings. The Round Tower does not have an elevator, so visitors have to climb the winding, white-washed Spiral Walk to get to the top. Halfway up the tower is the entrance to the large and stunningly beautiful Library Hall, which now serves as a popular gallery and concert venue. It hosts several exhibitions and concerts a year. Above the Library is the Bell Loft, notable for its enormous wooden beams, which were used in the reconstruction of the Tower following the great fire of Copenhagen in 1728. The Round Tower was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It was the first part of the Trinitatis Complex, which combined church, library and observatory in a single building. Conducted tours of the Round Tower – special events for companies.

History From the beginning of this century the National Museum and St Gertrud’s Monastery have carried out several excavations of the monastery, and a great deal of exciting things have seen the light of day. In 1972 a restoration of the old buildings was begun , and in 1975 St Gertrud’s Monastery opened as a restaurant. During the last phase of the restoration several British cannonballs from the bombardment in 1807 were found. When the restaurant opened, a couple of these were dutifully handed over to the British marine attaché, who was politely asked not to use them again. It is a fascinating thought that, in connection with the opening of restaurant St Gertrud’s Monastery, the same arches witness after seven centuries - that business people and travellers are catered for, although the food, the wine and the guests have changed.

The Monastary Menu The Monastery Menu is our most popular menu.This menu is designed to match the different seasons of the year and we strive to use only the very best ingredients. In order to keep up our high standard, minor changes may occur. Parties If you want an unforgettable evening with your partner, family or friends - a company outing or to celebrate one of the great special occasions in life, Skt. Gertrud’s Kloster is the place. Skt. Gertrud’s Kloster is a restaurant unlike any other, when you want to spoil yourself and your guests. The restaurant has separate rooms catering from 10 to 120 guests. Amongst these are the Jesus Room for intimate dinners, the Monk’s Room, the Confession Room and the great Prayer Hall. In total, Skt. Gertrud’s Kloster can accommodate 350 guests. Don’t hesitate to contact us with enquiries regarding social events - it’s free. Meetings If you need a place for your meeting or conference we can now offer the location.

For more than 120 years Sømods Bolcher has been sending out the wonderful smell of rock sweets in the making from its shop on Nørregade. The traditions and principles of Sømods Bolcher was formed in 1891 but not until 1920 did the sweet factory get the name Sømod when the founder Mr. Hansen, not being blessed with sons, handed over the factory to the son of his childhood friend Martin Søemod. Ever since then the sweet factory has been in the hands of the Søemod family. Today fourth generation family members Mike and Camilla Sømod helps to carry on the noble traditions of the sweet factory. Where many modern rock sweet producers add things like glucose to their products to keep prices down Sømods Bolcher is now the only rock sweet factory in the world that still produces by the old principles. This means that when enjoying one of their sweets you share an experience with someone doing the same thing 100 years ago. The only difference is that today you have the privilege of choosing from 75 different flavours! Funnily enough their two best selling flavours, Dameskrå (salty licorice) and Rhubarb, have been part of the selection ever since the beginning. The wonderful smell of sweets is not the only thing visitors get to enjoy when entering the shop on Nørregade. Every day from 10am to 4pm rock sweets are made hourly and everyone is welcome to have a look at the process experiencing how the employees magically twirl and twist the colourful sugar masses before they transform them into tasty mouthfuls.

A journey through the past The National Museum is Denmark’s largest museum of cultural history. The museum’s main domicile is a classical 18th century mansion just a stone’s throw from “Strøget” at the center of Copenhagen. You can explore the history of the Danes from the first Ice Age hunters to the hash stall from the ‘free state’ of Christiania. You can also experience the world’s largest collection of Inuit objects. The permanent exhibition Danish Prehistory 13,000 BC – 1050 AD is an absolute ‘mustsee’. Highlights like the Vikings’ gold and silver hoards, the 3400-year-old and quite unique Sun Chariot and the contemporary Egtved Girl, with her knee-length cord skirt, have been given a central placing. So even if you only have time for a ‘flying visit’, you can get a fine overall impression of Danish prehistory. After having visited the Vikings, the tour may continue through the departments of Danish Middle Ages and Renaissance with the famous golden altars. The exhibition Stories of Denmark 1660-2000 displays objects from all parts of the country. The many exhibits do, however, share one common feature: They tell stories – about everyday lives and special occasions, about the Danish State and Nation, and about the many and varied lives and lifestyles seen throughout the last 350 years. The Royal Coin Collection also deserves mentioning, as does the Antique Collections exhibit intriguing mummies and other interesting artefacts from the Antiquity of Egypt, Greece and Rome. The children have their own museum where they will get a feel of different cultures and ages through play in varying environments. They may sail in a viking ship, sit in a Danish schoolroom from the early 20th century, enter a medieval castle and much more. The Museum also has a large shop and an elegant modern restaurant where Scandinavian raw materials are given a modern twist with our international cuisine, and their Sunday Brunch is one of Copenhagen’s best. VIKING exhibition 2013 / Free entry From 22 June – 17 November 2013 the museum opens its doors for VIKING - one of the largest exhibitions on the Vikings yet seen.

In the tenth century, at the highest point in the landscape west of Vejle, the kings Gorm the Old and Harold Bluetooth created a monument that is unique in the Nordic context.

Copenhagen Amber Museum is one of the most recognised amber museums in the world. The museum is located in Kanneworffs House, a charming old house dating back to 1606, and is one of the oldest houses in Copenhagen. The Copenhagen Amber Museum takes you on an exciting journey through the fascinating history of amber. The museum holds an impressive collection of amber antiques and artifacts, including a wide array of entombed insects from prehistoric times as well as some of the world’s largest privately owned pieces of Baltic amber. Amber is the fossilized resin of trees from ancient pine forests which existed more than 30 million years ago. When a tree became damaged, the resin would seep out from the ‘wound’ in the tree. As the resin was very sticky, various small insects got caught in it. When the tree eventually died, the resin would end up on the forest floor. Through the course of time the resin hardened, but it did not turn into amber as we know it until about one million years later. In the exhibition stands you can see different types of amber from all over the world and see how the amber is used. You will also have the opportunity to get an insight into the significance of amber at different stages throughout history. One of the main attractions of the museum is the collection of more than 100 pieces of amber with inclusions of insects and plants. Magnifying glasses, enables the visitor to observe the more than 30 million year-old insects and plants closely. Copenhagen Amber Museum is run by House of Amber. The company was founded in 1933 by Danish Einer Fehrn, and through several generations House of Amber has specialized and refined its skills in manufacturing of the finest amber jewelry. House of Amber is more than a museum. In our two elegant shops in Copenhagen and 33 in China you will find one of the world´s widest selections of amber jewellery set in gold, silver and diamonds alongside beautiful objects d´art made of amber. In House of Amber’s shops you can treat yourself to stunning pieces of amber jewellery or find the perfect gift. 56

Designmuseum Danmark (earlier named The Danish Museum of Art & Design) is Denmarks largest museum for Danish and international design and a central exhibition forum for industrial design and applied arts in Scandinavia. The museum’s collections, library and archives constitute a central resource centre for the study of design and its history in Denmark. The museum brings together and documents the contemporary developments within industrial design, decorative and applied arts. We must add to this the collection of exemplary works from older “areas” and periods, which are closely related to contemporary oeuvres. Designmuseum Danmark undertakes research into the history of art and design, taking as its point of departure the museum’s own collections, and presents the results in exhibitions, publications and educational material etc. Designmuseum Danmark was founded in 1890 by the Industriforeningen i København (now Dansk Industri – The Confederation of Danish Industries) and the Ny Carlsberg Museumslegat. It first opened to the public in 1895 in a completely new museum building situated on what is now H.C. Andersens Boulevard, in the very centre of Copenhagen. Right from the start the main purpose of the museum has been to disseminate a concept of quality within design. Through displaying the exemplary objects it was hoped to raise standards within the products of Danish industry. The Museum’s collections were thus envisaged as serving as a source of inspiration for people active in industry. In addition there has always been the aspiration to make contemporary consumers both critically aware and discerning. Since 1926, Designmuseum Danmark has been housed in one of Copenhagen’s finest rococo buildings, the former King Frederik’s Hospital. This edifice was built during the reign of King Frederik V in the years 1752-57 to designs by the architects Niels Eigtved and Lauritz de Thurah. In the early 1920s the building was renovated and refurbished to suit museum purposes by the architects Ivar Bentsen and Kaare Klint. 57

6000 years of art in exceptional surroundings Art and Ale In the heart of Copenhagen lies the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The museum was founded by the owner of the Carlsberg Breweries, Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914) one of the 19th century’s great industrial magnates and patrons of the arts. The brewer was a passionate collector. In exchange for the revenue from the sale of beer he created a collection of art and cultural artefacts of the highest quality, in the largest private art collection in Scandinavia. He bequeathed his entire collection to the Danish nation and built the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek to house it. The museum has been open to the public since 1897, and today the Glyptotek holds over 10,000 works divided between an ancient and a modern collection. Unique Architecture The architecture of the museum is also unparalleled in Denmark. Today the Glyptotek consists of four buildings, of which the architect Vilhelm Dahlerup designed the first, which was opened in 1897. He was also responsible for the museum’s Winter Garden (1906). That same year architect Hack Kampmann’s building – which houses Carl Jacobsen’s collection of antiquities – was inaugurated. Most recently, in 1996, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek was augmented by the addition of a new building, designed by the architect Henning Larsen, to house the collection of French painting, and 2006 saw the opening of an extensive, new display area with an introduction to the cultural history and development of the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Scandinavia’s Largest Collection of Ancient Art At the Glyptotek one can gain an insight into the cultures of ancient Greece, Rome and Etruria, where Europe has the roots of its art, its history of ideas and politics. Follow the journey of mankind through 6000 years from the early empires of the Middle East all the way to the Roman Empire. A walk through the Collection of Antiquities will take you through ancient Egypt, the Middle East, Greece and the Roman Empire. Here visitors will find the Glyptotek’s impressive collection of antiquities from ancient Tuscany – the historical land of the Etruscans. World-renowned Greek and Roman sculptures, together with mummies and tomb discoveries from ancient Egypt can be seen in the museum’s superlative exhibition rooms. Modern Art of an International Class The Glyptotek also houses Denmark’s largest collection of French 19 C and Impressionist art. Here one can experience works by such artists as Manet, Monet, Degas, Sisley and also van Gogh, Cézanne and Rodin concluding with Picasso. Of particular note is the collection of works by Paul Gauguin, which is one of the most magnificent in the world. The great masters of Danish Golden Age painting are represented at the Glyptotek, the collection of which includes work by Eckersberg, Købke and Lundbye, Freund, Jerichau and Bissen. All the year round visitors can experience special temporary exhibitions, concerts, events and guided tours around the various collections. Café Glyptoteket Located in the Glyptotek’s palm-filled Winter Garden is Café Glyptoteket where visitors can enjoy light lunch dishes and delicious cakes with a focus on ecology and sustainability.

The Margrethe Route, named after Danish Queen Margrethe II, is a charming circuit of country roads winding through crown forests to break into panoramas of hilly farmland dotted with old-fashioned half-timbered houses and barns. Starting in Copenhagen, part of this scenic route takes the motorist, cyclist or train traveller north up the coastal road, Strandvejen, following the narrow Øresund strait that runs between the Baltic, Kattegat and North Sea. Ending in Helsingør, the Elsinore of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, this 50-kilometre stretch meanders past some of Denmark’s most impressive mansions and beach homes, marinas and a string of tiny fishing harbours with their lovingly restored cottages. Rungsted Kyst, reputedly the wealthiest community in Denmark, was the home of the Danish writer Karen Blixen (1885-1962), known throughout the world as the author of the novel Out of Africa. A tour of Blixen’s seaside estate, Rungstedlund, is a treat.

North Zealand

Few corners of the earth offer visitors such a host of attractions in as compact a region as North Zealand. Beginning just outside metropolitan Copenhagen, the roads fan out over a varied, gently rolling fairytale landscape adorned with historic royal castles. Never far from the sea, the island’s coastal roads take travellers past quaint fishing villages flanked by some of the best sandy beaches in Europe.

Lo uis ian aM use um

A further 10 kilometres up the coast in the pretty seaside town of Humlebæk is Louisiana Modern Art Museum, perched on a bluff with sea views across to Sweden. In addition to its permanent collection of modern Danish and international art, Louisiana hosts changing exhibitions, concerts and arts festivals all year round. The town itself boasts several fine restaurants amid the beautifully converted thatched roof fishermen’s cottages at Sletten harbour. Royal territory A short swing inland across unspoiled countryside past stud farms and golf courses brings travellers to the royal summer residence, Fredensborg. Built above the shore of Lake Esrum, this early 18th century baroque palace is rarely open to the public, but a stroll through the formal gardens affords a pleasing break. On the opposite side of the lake stands the medieval Esrum Priory, which still brews its own original dark ale.

A leisurely drive south down Kongevejen, the old royal highway, leads visitors to the formidable Frederiksborg Castle, which looms above its ramparts and moat, dominating the bustling market town of Hillerød. From Hillerød, roads radiate in all directions – south to the royal residence of Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, west to the picturesque former steel mill town of Frederiksvaerk, east back to the coast and north to the top of Zealand, Denmark’s main island. Cultural centre with a literary past Helsingør, until recently a bustling shipbuilding town, has reinvented itself as North Zealand’s cultural centre, having invested heavily in modernist buildings to house the performing arts in former docklands. The old town itself is a jewel of sensitive restoration, with its narrow cobblestone alleys running between centuries-old half-timbered, four-storey townhouses. From the busy harbour, car ferries sail between Helsingør and its sister city in Sweden, Helsingborg. In the courtyard of Kronborg Castle, the imposing Renaissance backdrop for Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet is re-enacted by international theatre companies every summer.

He lsin gø r

As the towers of Helsingør slip out of sight, the coastal road swings west towards Hornbæk, a lively resort town on the Kattegat. Members of Denmark’s establishment and cultural elite, as well as more recently discovered celebrities maintain discreetly sumptuous vacation homes behind the grassy dunes. A string of lovely old harbour towns stretches further along the wild Kattegat coast – Gilleleje, with its working fishing port, and the laid-back holiday resorts of Lisaleje, Tisvildeleje and Raageleje. Finally, Hundested, a rail and ferry terminal at the end of the road in North Zealand, is a gathering place for wind-surfers and yachtsmen alike.

Karen Blixen Museum at Rungstedlund displays the home of the famous Danish writer Karen Blixen (1885-1962). The rooms are almost exactly as Karen Blixen decorated and arranged them, giving a vivid impression of the writer’s dayto-day surroundings. The Museum is just a few minutes walk from Rungsted Harbour. Rungstedlund opened the writer’s museum in 1991. Karen Blixen was born and grew up in the house and she spent a large part of her adult life there. Her grave lies under a great beech tree, in the park close to the museum. The Karen Blixen Café is probably one of the most beautifully located cafés in Denmark. Here you can enjoy a light meal at the exceptional and idyllic location. NB: Free admission. Karen Blixen’s works may be purchased at the museum shop in many different translations, along with books on Karen Blixen’s life and writings, postcards, posters, CDs and Blixen films.

The Museum was created by the artist himself, in 1937-38, and was one of the first Danish buildings in which concrete was used both as a functional and artistic material. It has a quite peculiar character and a very special atmosphere, which is created not just by the magnificent sculptures but also the architecture of the museum and its settings. There is no place in the world like this. Though the format and content of his works provoked Tegners Danish contemporaries, he received considerable recognition in France where he settled in 1926 and was awarded the gold medal at the Salon in Paris in 1933. He did never forget his roots though and left the museum containing more 250 of his works in plaster, clay, marble and bronze, as a testimonial. He was buried beneath the floor of the museum’s 11 metre tall main hall in 1950. Take a walk in the surrounding Statuepark and visit the museum. There is a small café connected to the museum.

The J.F. Willumsen Museum is dedicated to the work of Danish Artist Jens Ferdinand Willumsen as well as housing his personal art collection, library, and archives. J.F. Willumsen (1863-1958) grew up in Copenhagen, where he attended different institutions including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, before completing his artistic training at Kunstnernes Studieskole - a private Copenhagen art school - in 1885. Willumsen developed his own visionary and original style inspired by the leading artistic movements of his day, including symbolism, fauvism, and expressionism. Even as a young artist he was considered a controversial, ground-breaking figure in the Danish art world, a position he maintained for most of his long artistic career that spanned seven decades and included painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic art, photography, and architecture. The extension In 2005 the museum was extended by the architect Theo Bjerg. Now the museum contains nine halls of exhibition, a self-service café and other facilities. The original building from 1957, designed by architect Tyge Hvass is 700 m2 while the new building is around 1300 m2. 81

Marienlyst is constantly undergoing renovations, which is why it appears as one of the leading conference centers in Scandinavia and one of the most exclusive leisure hotels in Northern Europe. Accommodation Our rooms range from single rooms to suites - all with a view of the Sound, to the nearby forest or to our green garden.

West Zealand is connected to the island of Funen by the Great Belt Bridge, one of Europe’s most ambitious engineering projects and the largest of Denmark’s fixed links. Consisting of both a suspension bridge and railway tunnel, this mammoth structure provides Zealand with road and rail access to the rest of Denmark and onwards to the European mainland. The main suspension bridge, which boasts the world’s third-longest span at 1.6 kilometres, can be viewed from the town of Korsør. The northern part of this region is bisected by the Isefjord, a large saltwater inlet famous for its beaches, wetlands and shallow waters. Beaches are also the main attraction of the island of Sejrø, located in the calm and picturesque Sejrø Bay. Linked to the mainland by car ferry, this 11 kilometre-long island offers numerous great beaches with shallow waters that make it especially suitable for families with children.

The eastern part of the region borders on Copenhagen’s western suburbs and the west is dominated by the shoreline of the Kattegat Sound and its branch, the Great Belt.

Ro ski lde

The bay lies directly to the south of the Sjællands Odde peninsula, a thin finger of land stretching into the Kattegat Sound. From here, fast ferries depart for Aarhus, Denmark’s second city, and the Jutland town of Ebeltoft. Nearby Dragsholm Castle is famous for the gloomy dungeon where the Fourth Earl of Bothwell, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, spent his final years. It now functions as a restaurant, hotel and museum, with guided tours available during the summer. Roskilde: mixing modern music with ancient history Among the region’s most famous attractions is the ancient city of Roskilde, with its historic cathedral containing the remains of bygone kings and queens. Once the country’s political nerve centre, this vibrant city is also well known as the home of one of Europe’s largest music festivals, which takes place in early July every year. Located on the banks of Roskilde Fjord, the immensely popular Viking Ship Museum boasts one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of genuine Viking ships and artefacts. Along with excellent displays, the museum offers a host of activities for young and old alike.

Mu sic fes tiv al

Located just 30 minutes west of Copenhagen by car or train, Roskilde is an ideal destination for a day trip from the capital. Slagelse, just west of Roskilde, is a charming town steeped in history and was once the regional capital. It was here that Oluf, son of Queen Margrethe I, was crowned more than seven centuries ago. The ancient church of St. Peder is well worth a visit, and one of Scandinavia’s best-preserved Viking fortresses is located at nearby Trelleborg. Early architectural gems Located 60 km west of Copenhagen, Ringsted is another historical town. Dating back to 1421, it is home to St. Bengts, the oldest brick-built church in Scandinavia. Originally constructed in the 12th century, this historic structure is noted as an early example of Romanesque architecture, and serves as the last resting place of many of Denmark’s early monarchs. Ringsted also offers easy access to the Danish Tramway Museum, which is located at nearby Jystrup.

St. Be ng ts

In the west of the region, the port of Kalundborg, nestled in the “V” of a fjord, offers regular ferries to Aarhus. The small islands of Omø and Agersø can be reached by ferry from nearby Stigsnæs. Famous for its remarkable five-spired church, Kalundborg is also the embarkation point for ferries to the idyllic “green” island of Samsø.

Welcome to Viking Tours where you can sail the Danish fjords on a Viking long-ship. You sail with us on the fjords of Sjælland in the wake of the ancient seafarers. Experience nature in a handbuilt copy of a thousand-year old Viking ship. Viking Tours offer the chance to sail these ancient ships, once the pinnacle of sea-going technology, with or without previous experience. Along with an experienced skipper and a veteran deck-hand you can learn ‘the ropes’ and soon feel at home on-board. Join us and a dozen like-minded souls who all want to have an experience to remember. Sail with the wind across the inland waters of Roskilde and Isse-fjords. Land almost at will in secluded coves or sleepy harbours. There is a lot to see around Fjordland-Sjælland but it can be seen at a stately pace as and when the crew and the elements decide. With us you can step out of the modern world of glass, asphalt and speed to where the only noise is made by wind in your sail or by your oars gently dipping into the waters of the fjord. From the water you can get a totally different perspective, one your ancestors would have recognised. The sea was the highway of the ancient world and the long-ship was lord of the seas in its day. A Viking Tour is an active holiday with the emphasis on holiday. Steering, rowing, managing the sail and navigating are all jobs to be done and you can participate. We land each evening at a different place and make a camp by the ship. After breakfasting we sail until taking lunch under way or at a convenient stop. With its shallow draught a long-ship can land almost anywhere. If you arrive from outside Denmark we can drive you to and from the airport and the ships. Overnighting is in modern tents we provide. We can customise a tour to last a few hours to five days. Discuss your requirements with us.

The Smålandshavet Archipelago at the southern tip of Zealand tempts with pleasant – and not-too-crowded – beaches along with a slew of outdoor activities and historic cultural attractions. The main islands of Falster, Lolland and Møn, along with many of the smaller ones, are linked to Zealand by bridges. Regular ferries serve all other inhabited islands.

South Zealand

South Zealand and its adjacent islands to the south offer a variety of entertaining and educational attractions in a quintessential Danish setting. A journey through the region shows visitors intermittent inland farmland and forests with stunning cliffs and sandy beaches by the coast. Much of the area is within an hour or so of Copenhagen and there are convenient transport connections joining other parts of Denmark and neighbouring countries.

Femø offers not only serenity and vast stretches of beach, but also an annual jazz festival. An unusual aspect to any excursion to the islands is Askø, where the highest elevation is just four metres above sea level. South Zealand and the islands are known for their fruit production, and many farms give visitors the chance to sample their exceptional produce. Quaint towns with a history All around the region of South Zealand, visitors can find towns that grew up either around agriculture or the nobility. Nearly all of them have managed to freeze time in the older parts of the town centres. Tiny yellow houses set choc-a-bloc symbolize the Lolland town of Maribo. The cathedral there was once the convent where the (in)famous Leonora Christine died after many years of 17th century cloak-and-dagger intrigue. A product of a king’s indiscretion, she spent much of her semi-royal life in exile and prison on suspicion of treason. Nykøbing, on Falster, is noted for its 17th-18th-century houses and commercial buildings. The town’s Medieval Centre gives visitors a true taste of life in the Middle Ages, along with a full roster of fun activities. Vordingborg is a ferry port with regular routes to Germany and also home to Goose Tower, the remains of a medieval castle. Næstved is surrounded by lush farmland. The old monastery there is now one of the most prestigious boarding schools in Denmark. The old Højerup Church overlooks Køge Bay from a cliff near Stevns. The first stones were laid in the 1200s, but erosion has eaten away at the coastline and parts of the church have crumbled into the sea over the years, despite on-going efforts to reinforce the terrain.

The island of Gavnø in the southwest end of Zealand consists mainly of Gavnø Castle and its grounds. Open to the public in the summer and by appointment during the rest of the year, the castle houses a museum with wonderful interiors and an art collection. The gardens are especially noted for their flowers, and bulbs from Gavnø are prized by Danes and visitors alike. Youngsters will love the Land of Pirates, a giant playground where a real-life pirate once lived between raids on innocent ships. Monsters of the past and geological wonders One of the biggest attractions of South Zealand is the Cliffs of Møn. Trekking along the chalk cliffs affords wondrous vistas, but the site is also serious business for geologists as the strata provide information about Earth millions of years back in time. The cliffs are also a treasure chest of fossils, but many areas are reserved for professionals. The Geological Centre at Møn is a true must-see. Children will marvel at the interactive displays showing dinosaurs that roamed the earth around 70 million years ago. For families, the centre is just as informative as it is fun, with exceptional audio, visual and computer-controlled displays presenting educational material that is sugar-coated in amusement.

Further north, the chalky cliffs of Stevns Klint are not only an exciting attraction, but also the only place in the world where geologists can find fossils and geological strata from 65 million years ago. Stevns Museum displays historic artefacts and crafts from the area and is also home to an excellent geological exhibit. Another fascinating spot is the Stevnsfort Cold War museum, a completely refurbished military installation that was tunnelled into the cliffs. Photo: Photo: Niclas Niclas Jessen Jessen

FEMØ KRO & Kursuscenter Femø Kro is the perfect setting to host a fantastic celebratory event: weddings; silver wedding anniversaries; birthday parties; company away days; and much more. Once the ferry has left the mainland behind and is meandering amongst the 5 islands in the Smålandshavet Archipelago, you know your trip has started properly. After you check in at our kro (a kro is a traditional Danish inn), you will be served coffee, tea and homemade cakes in one of our small and cozy rooms. The afternoon can be dedicated to mini golf, bicycle hire, walks (with a guide if you wish), soaking up the rays on a sun lounger in the garden, or just pure and simple relaxation in the bar and a chat with the locals. If you’re lucky, you might see light aircraft gliding in to land right beside the inn. Take a lovely and relaxing kro break and discover one of Denmark’s natural beauties. Here, you can enjoy delicious food and good times with friends and family. There are plenty of opportunities for exciting activities, whether modern or traditional. The romantic, timbered, 16th-century kro glows with Danish coziness. Staying overnight in one of our 24 bright and modern rooms makes this the perfect place to celebrate a festive event with your friends and family. The evening kicks off with a welcome drink on the terrace, which offers fantastic views across Smålandshavet and South Zealand. The celebration dinner features beautifully laid tables in the party room with access to the terrace. Unlimited wine is included with dinner. Coffee with brandy is served afterwards. An open bar and supper can be arranged if desired. Live music performed by a soloist, duo or orchestra will provide entertainment during dinner and for dancing later on. Enjoy the stunning sunset from the terrace. On Sunday morning we serve a delicious brunch. Take this opportunity to talk to anyone whom you didn’t see the day before. Hold your conference at FEMØ KRO Other stays can include self-pampering, fun theme parties such as a Wild West party featuring a cowboy bar, the Robinson Crusoe event, where guests go on a survival adventure to the beach or a Viking feast with barbecued suckling pig. Or how about a crash course in square and line dancing? We’re also more than happy to arrange for “funny” waiters to provide entertainment during the party. For company away days, we can also arrange team-building courses. Ask for our corporate brochure. We use professional teachers and entertainers for all of these services. 106

There are many reasons for visiting Hotel Falster, which since the start in 1986 has been in the family. The hotel is situated in the middle of the islands of Falster and Lolland - popular called the South Sea Islands - in the City of Queens Nykøbing F (named after the castle of Nykøbing F., which was the residence for queen dowagers, where the most famous was Sofie of Mecklenburg, the mother of King Christian the 4th). The past years have confirmed that the family leadership has a unique force. The best way to put it to words is that our guests not only feel welcome - they feel at home as well. A feeling neither wall bricks nor menu cards can supply. We could also brag about Danish/ French cuisine and our 68 well furnished rooms - but we do not, as our best achievement is the unpretentious and relaxed atmosphere in the hotel. And that we take good care of. As per January 1st, 2001, we have taken over the service at Nykøbing Theatre and have therefore possibilities for courses and conferences with up to 600 persons. It is important and a goal for us that you, as our guest, feel you have arrived in your second home. That can be done first of all through the conducts of our employees.

Bornholm

Pearl of the Baltic Su ns hin e

isl an d

Sm ok eh ou se

Bornholm’s history and culture are uniquely Danish, as is the cuisine. Each small town along the jagged coastline features a smokehouse among its attractions. One unmissable treat is “Sun over Gudhjem”, a herring still warm from the smoker, served with a raw egg yolk and fresh radishes. Unique structures for defence and spiritual needs Bornholm served as a frontline of defence from the time of the early Danish kings through to the Cold War. The 13th-century Hammershus is the largest fortress in northern Europe. Standing on a 73 metre-high rise at the top of the island, the site was once a royal residence and a base for Danish crusaders. The area around the fortress is dotted with natural and manmade defence barriers, making it ideal for strolls around the grounds that afford magnificent views in every direction. Four of Denmark’s seven medieval “white churches” are located on Bornholm. The whitewashed structures served as defence installations as well as places of worship. The towers doubled as visible monuments to religion and places that gave soldiers a vantage point for warding off enemies. The largest white church is in Østerlars, at the heart of the island, with the others being in Olsker, Nylars and Nyker. All are open to the public and services are held on Sundays.

Bornholm

The Danes call it “the sunshine island”, and Bornholm is truly a pearl in the middle of the Baltic Sea. The sugar-like beaches between craggy cliffs are unlike anywhere else in Denmark, while the fertile interior is marked by hilly farmland and massive blocks of granite. With the main town of Rønne as the point of entry by air and sea, the 588-square-kilometre island offers a network of manageable – and recommended – bicycle tours.

At Bornholm Medieval Centre, outside Østerlars, children can test their prowess at archery and see demonstrations of other weapons on a site that is a true replica of a small village from the Middle Ages. The centre is open to the public in summer, but only to groups during the rest of the year. Bornholm Art Museum features works by local and national artists. The building itself is a modern architectural wonder located in spectacular natural surroundings just outside Gudhjem. In and between the small towns of the island visitors will discover numerous private galleries and studios. Bornholm is particularly well known for its glass and pottery, and guests are often welcome to see local crafts being made.

Activities in nature and traditional towns The Butterfly Park at Nexø is set among meadows, woods and waterfalls. Wandering around the outdoor facility, where plants attract insects in summertime, is a joy, while the tropical house is home to some very unusual butterflies from other parts of the world. The exhibits describe the metamorphosis undergone by these colourful insects in words and images. The main towns of Bornholm are strung along the coastline, although many towns and villages were settled inland for agriculture or in case the coastal defences failed. All types of accommodation are available around Bornholm, while the many traditional resort hotels situated in the major towns offer a special experience. Like the island’s other towns, Rønne still retains a centuries-old flavour, despite the fact that it was bombed by the Soviet Union even after the Second World War had officially come to an end. History tells us that the Nazi occupying forces had yet to hear news of their country’s surrender. Nexø, the largest fishing port on Bornholm, suffered the same fate. The island has a historic link to Sweden and, after the war, the Swedish government provided financial assistance for the rebuilding of hundreds of traditional red-timbered buildings in both towns.

Welcome to Nordbornholms Røgeri - the North Bornholm Smokehouse The smokehouse is nestled in the rocks at Allinge, surrounded by Bornholm’s picturesque landscape. The North Bornholm Smokehouse is deeply rooted into the culture and history of Bornholm, dating back to 1898. Initially it was a traditional Bornholm smokehouse, which primarily made smoked herring for the people of Copenhagen. In the mid 1960s, Mrs Madsen sold the smokehouse to Arne Jacobsen who expanded the small establishment in several stages, the last of which was in 1976. In 2002, Arne decided to sell the smokehouse to its present owners, Jesper Jensen and Carsten Grønning. Since then, the smokehouse has undergone several refurbishments and has been extended so that today it stands out as a modern enterprise with respect for its past, and includes a large restaurant. The restaurant is beside the rocks with an uninterupted view of the Baltic Sea. The delicious buffet, offering a wide variety of delicacies and Bornholm specialities, is built around a large rock that sticks up in the middle of the restaurant. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed with space for the whole family, and children have ample opportunity to romp about freely in the outdoor areas.

Funen & Islands

Fairytale Danish heartland Eg esk ov, Fu ne n

The consensus among Danes and linguists alike holds that the dialect of Funen (Fyn in Danish) is the most pleasant in the country. Perhaps the gentle rolling hills and relatively calm surrounding waters influenced the tongues of the traditionally easy-going people living on the island known as “the bread basket of Denmark”. The towns and villages sprinkled around the farmlands of the second-largest island – on average only about 70 km from coast to coast – offer the traveller a fine sample of local customs, cuisine, tradition and hospitality. Although all forms of accommodation are available, the region is known for its thatched roof, half-timbered houses that make irresistible bed and breakfast lodgings. 122

Od en se

Hans Christian Andersen is by far the most famous son of the city. The house where he was born and his childhood home are separate museums run by Odense Museums, which covers all the museums in the area. While there are plenty of activities for youngsters, the displays also give a fascinating insight into the life of the author, who considered himself an “ugly duckling”, and his works. For classical music lovers, the Carl Nielsen Museum is a delight. The Danish Railway Museum is a must for fans of railway lore and hardware. Enthusiasts of the arts will enjoy Brandts, a former textile mill converted into three separate museums, each devoted to a branch of mainly contemporary art. Odense City Museum tells the story of how the city grew from its humble origins as a tiny village and has lots of fun activities for families. The displays are representative of most of the villages on the island. Living by and from the sea Visitors will find a delightful daisy chain of towns and villages encircling Funen. As the mid-point of Denmark, the sea traditionally provided a livelihood for families on the coast, either from fishing or transportation. Many of these towns look the same as they did a few centuries ago, especially near their small harbours.

Funen & Islands

City of fables and fun Odense, the third-largest city in Denmark, is home to just over a third of Funen’s total population. The city has a wealth of cultural and entertainment activities for families, including the impressive Odense Zoo.

Kerteminde, on the east coast, is a typical example. The town offers all the modern amenities tourists are looking for, but maintains the traditional maritime atmosphere that makes the region unique. The town’s Johannes Larsen Museum, named after the artist who was instrumental in founding the Funen School in the early 1900s, contains the most extensive collection of works by regional artists. Like pearls in the Baltic Sea Along with a fair number of bridge links, ferries run regularly to most of the 55 islands that make up the “southern Funen archipelago”, a natural wonderland. Tåsinge, Langeland and Ærø are the largest islands and have modest-sized towns as well as countless country or fishing villages, with some manor houses sprinkled in between. Whether on an island or islet, small harbours and marinas grace the coastlines and the archipelago makes an ideal destination for yachters and anyone else who has a love of water activities. Tranquillity in an authentic, timeless Danish setting is an intangible but huge attraction that is unique to the archipelago.

Ærø is home to the Marstal Maritime Museum. Established in 1929, visitors can learn the modern history of the seafaring Danes and view an exciting collection of ship’s wares as well as more than 200 model ships and 130 miniature ships in bottles. Splendour among the inland farms The inland stretch of land between the coastal towns of Svendborg and Fåborg has stunning terrain that is atypical of the island. Svanning Bakker, a hilly region in the area, is a landscape marked by cliffs, gullies and ravines left behind by retreating glaciers some 14,000 years ago. Not far away in south-central Funen is Egeskov Castle and park. Along with its gracious interiors, collections and history, the site’s moats and garden mazes give visitors a sense of adventure. The castle offers a full selection of family activities, with one must-see being the world-famous doll’s house, Titania’s Palace.

For those seeking active holidays, Funen provides all kinds of outdoor activities, including golf, excellent fishing and trekking. In addition, the size of the island and the many kilometres of cycle paths make it a playground for biking enthusiasts. Funen is linked to Zealand and Jutland by a number of bridges.

The tradition of cultivating high quality ingredients is deeply rooted in the rich Fyn soil. The island of a hundred castles And the Fyn soil also takes some of the credit for the many castles and manors. Nowhere else in the country are manors situated so closely together: a total of 123 castles and manors lie sprinkled across Fyn and the isles. Some of them offer luxurious castle stays where one gets the feeling of beeing ‘almost royal’. Some of the castles have their own museums and fine collections – Egeskov and Valdmars Castle being the most famous - offering both historical and action-packed experiences for all ages. Egeskov Castle won the 2012 award as the best historical European garden for its beautiful and impressive 17th century rennaissance garden.

Nyborg Castle Nyborg Castle and town comprise one of the most important cultural heritage monuments from the Middle Ages in Denmark. Nyborg castle and town were from the beginning of the 13th century and until 1560 one of the king of Denmark’s favourite residence. The king met with the Danish parliament at Nyborg Castle for almost two centuries, and the first constitution of the realm was signed here in 1282. The great Church of Our Lady, which combined with the castle, defines the historic town centre, was founded to commemorate the military victory that made it possible for Queen Margrethe I (13761412) to unite the three Nordic kingdoms – Denmark, Norway and Sweden – in the Union of Kalmar. The town has always been a junction – a place you passed to get from one end of the country to another. That’s the reason why several kings and a queen spent a great deal of money on planning, expanding and fortifying it.

Nyborg Town The historic town centre of Nyborg has a lively trade with many shops and cafĂŠs; some of Denmarks best beaches and beach hotels are found just outside the town limits. Since the Middle Ages, farmers have been growing high-quality fruits and vegetables in the fertile soil of Eastern Funen. Enjoy a dinner prepared from the finest local products in one of the gourmet restaurants at the waterfront. From Nyborg you can get around by bike or by car to the many fascinating attractions and natural areas in the onceroyal landscape of Eastern Funen. Nyborg is easily reached by train or car, and for sailors there is a good harbour, which still evokes the history of the ferries that used to connect the Danish kingdom before the Great Belt Bridge was built.

UNESCO World Heritage List Nyborg Castle and Museum form part of the Museums of Eastern Funen, with departments in Ladby and Kerteminde as well. Currently a strong effort is being made to prepare Nyborg Castle and Town as a candidate for a UNESCO World Heritage List. In the first weekend of July, a piece of Danish history unique to Nyborg is brought to life at the Danehof Fair, with jousting tournaments, medieval merchants, vegetable markets, music and entertainment of every kind. In the second weekend of September, the gates will open for the Knights of the Northern Kingdom event. Warriors from Denmark and Northern Europe will meet and train fighting techniques from the Middle Ages. Yule in the Old Royal Town â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big Christmas market - transforms Nyborg the second weekend in December. 131

In the gourmet kitchen work is done with great gastronomic commitment and the cooking style is classic with a modern twist. We have a penchant for good, Danish local ingredients. Hesselet offers elegant double rooms and large, exclusive suites. The interior decoration spans from classical to the modern. All rooms have a view of the forest or beach, so there is something for every taste. The central location at Nyborg on Funen – right in the middle of Denmark – makes it easy and quick to get to Hotel Hesselet and the hotel is also the obvious starting point for excursion spots, culture and nature experiences.

So exciting that it is difficult to choose Today it is golf, in the morning tennis and immediately after that an hour in the sauna. Then it is definitely time for a trip into the town and afterwards a swim and finally a little cosiness in front of the fireplace. We know very well that it can be overwhelming to be a guest with us due to all the pleasures and opportunities that there are. But breathe deeply – we will not let you down. If it is too hot for the tennis court or too green on the green, then close your eyes and take a moment to indulge in our pampering area. With us one pleasure does not rule out another. It is merely a question of how long you want to stay – we do not mind if it is forever.

North Jutland

Where the seas meet Ru bje rg Kn ud e

Gr en en

Nature provided inspiration and the foundation for the art, culture and history – including many Viking haunts – that abound throughout the region. North Jutland offers tourists a host of dining choices, ranging from freshlysmoked seafood at a fishing hamlet to a full gourmet meal in towns or cities. The range of accommodation on offer is just as varied, from a tent to a five-star, with everything in between. Art inspired by seaside light Grenen extends from Skagen, the northernmost town in Denmark. The area emerged as a seaside resort for the well-heeled, who were to become patrons of the many artists who settled there to found the Skagen School of the late 19th century. The best collection – 1,800 pieces – of their works from 1870-1930 is housed at Skagen Museum. The sugary beaches and traditional resort hotels that make Skagen a great spot for relaxation or adventure by the sea draw tourists all year round. Not far southeast of the village is the migrating sand dune, Raajberg Mile. A walk on the barren dune invigorates the senses as it seems to move under your feet while the prevailing westerly wind moves the mass of sand 15 metres east every year.

North Jutland

The light at Grenen shimmers with the clarity of billions of tiny diamonds. Located at the sandy tip of North Jutland, Grenen is the point where the Kattegat meets the North Sea. The sparkling waters of the seas and fjords, the shifting sands and dynamic light complement the harsh landscape that makes up much of this mystical region of Denmark.

Cosmopolitan city nestled in nature Aalborg, Denmark’s third-largest city, lies on the southern bank of the Limfjord, which cuts the top of the peninsula off from the mainland. The city has many galleries and museums, mainly representing artists associated the area. Eateries serve up delicacies from the local waters and fields. Shopping opportunities abound at larger establishments, as well as at hip shops offering unique merchandise. Painted by Peder Severin Kroyer

A good way to get acquainted with the city is, with a map in hand, to take the Aalborg Beerwalk and use the widely-available vouchers to sample craft brews at six pubs. Viking buffs will enjoy Lindholm Høje with its open-air museum featuring 682 graves and 150 stone ships dating from the era. An indoor museum provides an in-depth history of the area through the ages.

Nature means adventure Thy National Park on the west coast offers spectacular opportunities for observing rare and migratory birds while hiking along the wind-whipped heathland or shoreline. The sandy beaches remain as nature created them and, for experienced wind or kite surfers, this stretch of the North Sea offers some of the best surfing in the world. Many visitors enjoy village hopping along the west coast or the inland shores of Limfjord to view areas that look almost as they did centuries ago. The stretches are dotted with numerous opportunities for bed and breakfast stays, with some resort accommodation in between. Ferries shuttle visitors out to fjord islands where thatched roof homes sit proudly amongst the dunes and heathlands. In the Kattegat off the east coast lies the island of Læsø, noted for its unique gourmet salt and an annual festival that pays culinary homage to scampi, a crustacean also dubiously known as Norwegian lobster. A fairly large island, Læsø offers a diversity of accommodation options, good eating and outdoor activities such as golf, biking, horseback riding, surfing, trekking and much more.

The museum is a merger between Skagen By- og Egnsmuseum (Skagen town and regional museum), Bangsbo Museum and Sæby Museum. The emphasis at the museum is modern cultural history in Frederikshavn Municipality. Specific areas of focus are the history of fishing, seafaring, the market town and manor house, German occupation as well as school and tourist history. In addition the museum is responsible for the marine archaeology in the former Nordjyllands Amt (North Jutland county). Skagen By – og Egnsmuseum Skagen By – og Egnsmuseum is an outdoor and exhibition museum with a special focus on fishing, the lifeboat service and the town’s development. The exhibitions take the guest back through several chapters of Skagen’s history, however, it also relates to the rest of society as well. Discover a poor fisherman’s home and get close to the brave lifeboat men’s medals and the impressive lifeboat. At Vesterbyvej 15 in Skagen you will find Den gamle Smedje (the old smithy).

was taken over by the Danish navy. In 1952-62 the fort experienced its heyday as a Kold Krigsfort (Cold War fort). The area lies immediately south of the Pikkerbakken hill, which is approximately 80 metres in height and has an impressive view of Skagen, Læsø and Sæby.

Sæby museum The museum is housed in the beautiful ”Konsul Ørums gård” (consul Ørum’s farm) and displays exhibitions about the market town and the region’s long history right back to pre-history.

In addition you can visit an original village school room.

Sæbygård (Sæby farm) The estate house originates from the Middle Ages. The interior is mainly from the last 200 years and gives an impression of how daily life has taken shape in a North Jutland manor house through the generations.

The dominant metropolitan area and Denmark’s second-largest city, Aarhus, is one of Scandinavia’s oldest cities – archaeologists have found remnants of an 8th century Viking settlement there. South of the city, the Moesgård Museum is home to an excellent Viking exhibit where visitors can meet the Grauballe Man, the best-preserved bog body from Iron Age Europe. In the centre of Aarhus, Den Gamle By (The Old Town), the National Open Air Museum of Urban History and Culture, shows what it was like to live in a Danish market town in the days of Hans Christian Andersen. Less than 10 minutes away is ARoS, one of the largest contemporary art museums in Northern Europe. Ferries from Aarhus take many “green-minded” visitors to the island of Samsø. Along with welcoming fishing villages and miles of tranquil beaches, the island can boast that it epitomizes green thinking. After realizing that it made economic sense, the islanders got together several years ago to create a community that is self-sufficient in terms of energy production. Today it is held up as a European model of environmental progress. The island is serviced by ferries from Hou, located to the south of Aarhus, service the island, and from Kalundborg on Zealand. Unique scenery with history Djursland is a short trip from Aarhus along the scenic Marguerite Route. This outstanding area contains a mixed landscape of open heath, hills, forests, lakes and beaches. The Mols Bjerge National Park, one of the most rugged and diverse landscapes in Denmark, lies in southern Djursland. Formed at the end of the last ice age, the area is unique in terms of landscape and geology. It is named after the Mols Hills, but this is only a small part of the park, which in total covers about 180 km2. A popular spot on a journey around the coast is the scenic Helgenæs peninsula, with the Sletterhage Fyr lighthouse located on its southern tip. This magnificent stormy place is the dominion of nature – the wind, the sea and the rugged, rocky coast. The northern coast boasts steep cliffs that are popular with fossil hunters, while the waters off the cliffs are ideal for angling. In the central part of the region is Kolindsund, which up until 1874 was the largest lake in Jutland. This area is popular for bird watching and fishing, with canals running from Kolind to Grenaa. The area around Kalø Vig is home to over 100 cultural and historical monuments.

East Jutland

East Jutland is easily accessible from Denmark and the Continent and offers a wide variety of experiences. In addition to beautiful landscapes, forests, beaches and fjords, the region abounds with cultural cities, Viking ruins and amusement parks.

The Djurs Sommerland amusement park, which is only open in summertime, can also be found here and is Denmark’s 7th-largest tourist attraction. Lakes and highlands To the north of the region is Viborg, one of the oldest towns in Denmark, with Viking settlements dating back to the late 8th century. The Haervejen (The Old Military Road) starts here and is a popular walking and cycle track stretching 543 km to Hamburg, Germany. Soldiers and traders used the route through Jutland from around the year 1000 and by the Middle Ages, farmers were sending their animals along the road to the large cattle markets in Germany, giving the route its second name – the Cattle Road. From Viborg, head south to the picturesque town of Silkeborg. The landscape is dominated by large lakes, forests and Himmelbjerget (Sky Mountain), which, at a height of 147 m, makes a great natural viewpoint. It can be reached by car, bike or on foot, or you could sail there on board Hjejlen, the world’s oldest steamship.

Continuing south on the scenic route, through Horsens and Vejle, visit the Jelling Viking Rune Stones. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The large runic stone has an inscription relating to the conversion of the Danes to Christianity. Not far from here is Givskud Zoo and safari park. When it first opened in 1969, it was known as “The Lion Park” as lions were the only animals, but today it is home to more than 70 different species. A short journey from Vejle is Billund, where the original Legoland opened in 1968. Other parks around the world have all been modelled on this one and today it is the most visited attraction in Denmark outside Copenhagen.

The Prison Museum A unique museum experience awaits you at FÆNGLSET in Horsens. The Prison Museum gives you a rare opportunity to experience the otherwise closed world of a prison. Find out what life behind the walls was like for both inmates and guards throughout history. Shiver at the axe that was used to behead Jens Nielsen in 1892. Marvel at the audacity of incredible escape artists like Carl Lorentzen. Or smile at the huge pants left behind by Minister of Justice Alberti, who embezzled the government in Denmark’s biggest case of fraud. See the prison cells of different eras, the biker gang section, and the prison chapel as well as thousands of fascinating objects from the unique collection for a thoughtprovoking and memorable museum experience like no other. FÆNGSLET The former Horsens State Prison was in active use from 1853 to 2006, when the newly built East Jutland State Prison took over.

In March 1906 a group of citizens founded the Museum Society in Horsens, which was the forerunner of Horsens Museum. The purpose then was “To arouse and maintain the appreciation of art and historical memorials”. Until 1986 the museum therefore housed both art and cultural history. Thanks to a donation in the will of harbour pilot Theodor Løwenstein, it was possible to build the museum at Sundvej, which was opened in October 1915.

Pitches of perfection The campsite is arranged in large units, so there is alot of space around vehicles and tents. It has all been designed with respect for the beautiful countryside and has a rich wildlife, among others, roe deer, hares and pheasants which walks freely around the campsite. But that´s not all. We have divided the campsite in three main areas for those who like: • Pitch with a view - Next to the fjord,next to nature and freedom to be yourself This area of the campsite is intended for those, who want a “pitch with a view”. From your caravan or cabin you can enjoy a view of Horsens Fjord, which with its wide and great amount of water is impressively beautiful. You have a sense of calm, when you experience the tranquillity of the fjord and watch nature’s colours play on the water in the morning and in the evening. • Pitch for peace and quiet - Next to nature and pure relaxation – peace of mind There is nothing like getting away from home. Take it easy and recharge your batteries. To ensure a peaceful vacation – position your caravan on a “pitch for peace and quiet” where you camp with like-minded people. • Pitch for kids - Next to the playground, the beach and new playmates All children and parents like to camp in the “pitch for kids” area. Here they are close to the most important things – each other, the playground, new playmates, toilets and shower facilities. 14 cabins for all size families - We have cabins for 2, 4 or 6 persons. The cabins are cosily spread out across the whole campsite. Fancy a game of mini golf? - Then you should try our middle age mini golf. We have a challenging 12 holes mini golf with lots of fun for both big and small players. The entire course is made with artificial turf, and shaped like a real golf course.

Sea

The beaches – some of which allow motor traffic – appear endless and gave rise to the many resort hotels strung along the coast, although travellers will find all types of accommodation in the region. Delicacies from the sea provide a tide of culinary adventure complemented by produce from inland farms. The area is served by Karup and Esbjerg airports, while the national railway network and excellent public transport system provide means of carriage for visitors without cars. And, as throughout Denmark, the bicycle should not be forgotten as a mode of transport and sightseeing. With its bustling fishing and ferry port, Esbjerg is Denmark’s fifth-largest and youngest city (founded in 1868) and has assumed a new role over the past 40 years as the capital of the Danish offshore industry. Oil brought revenue to the roughly 72,000 inhabitants and the city offers a selection of museums on such diverse subjects as amber, art and fishing. Along with seal safaris and fishing excursions, ferries serve the island of Fanø in the Wadden Sea. The oysters and brown shrimp particular to the area are treats not to be missed.

We s t J u t l a n d

The North Sea is the force of nature that has moulded the landscape of West Jutland and the lifestyles of its inhabitants for millennia. Awesome and dominant, it remains the prime attraction of this region of the country. The coast is dotted with fishing villages and inland you can still see “dune farms” that seem to have sunk into the sand for protection from the blustery sea winds.

The sea as the backdrop of history Western Jutland was the seat of much of Denmark’s dramatic history from Viking days to modern times. Spøttrup, at the northern inland edge of the region, is home to Denmark’s best-preserved medieval castle-fortress, which acted as a second line of defence behind the sea. Most historical sites are not merely static displays, but active attractions that get visitors involved. The town of Bork, on the southern shore of Ringkøbing Fjord, has devoted part of its traditional fishing harbour to Bork Havn, a living Viking museum that is part of the Ringkøbing-Skjern constellation of museums. Guides take over the roles of the people who lived in the area 1,000 years ago and demonstrate how the Vikings lived, often with the help of visitors. Along with a slew of family activities, one highlight is a life-sized reproduction of a Viking chieftain’s house, modelled on the ruins of an actual structure excavated in the area.

Bo rk

Not far from Bork is Strandings Museum St. George, with its stirring collection of maritime artefacts and salvage. Unpredictable and wild, the treacherous waters of the North Sea swallowed the 98-gun HMS St. George, which had earlier bombarded Copenhagen in the Napoleonic Wars in 1811, with all but seven of 731 hands lost. Salvage from the vessel and from ships involved in the 1916 Battle of Jutland in the First World War are just parts of the exciting displays. Natural wonders and treasures An isthmus forms the western shore of Ringkøbing Fjord and faces the open sea on the other side. A delightful strip of sugary beaches with the resort town of Hvide Sande (white sands) in the middle, the area is a beachcomber’s paradise, perfect for amber prospecting. Lynvig Fyr, located on the northern part of the isthmus, is the tallest lighthouse in Denmark. The 38-metre high structure is perched on a 17-metre rise and the view from the top makes the 228-step climb worthwhile.

Wa dd en

Sea

The Wadden Sea National Park, on UNESCO’s World Heritage list, is a natural wonder that stretches from Ho Bay near Skallingen down to the German and Dutch coasts. Tides dramatically affect the shallow waters and low tide reveals a cornucopia of sea life that provides a feast for birds. Along with fabulous bird watching and seal-spotting opportunities, the many miles of beach offer some unique treks either on the sands or far from shore in the shallow waters.

We welcome you in these beautiful scenic surroundings – a part of the pretty and stubborn Western Jutland, where we ourselves have to make an effort to get things happen. The area consists of towns, villages and rural areas with each their own character. The largest towns are Ringkøbing, Skjern, Hvide Sande, Tarm and Videbæk, where more than half the population live. The rest live in the many bigger and smaller villages – or directly in the countryside. The municipality covers a large area in the middle of Jutland and has all together about 58.000 residents, but the population increases during summer-time, when guests come from near and far, to enjoy the area as a holiday-resort. There can be carqueues on the best summers days, but when on holiday, time does not matter.

West Jutland Here the wild waves from the sea changes with the gentle inlet, the wide heaths with sand dunes, the active industrial harbor with the soothing inlet-harbor. Here they fish from large cutters together with anglers of any kind; they stand along the streams, at the piers and at the stock-fishing lakes. A trip to the seaside, where the wind empties your head for thoughts or the sun warm up your body, is breathtaking. Afterwards you can crawl in shelter behind the dunes or hurry back to the holiday house. Perhaps lit up the stove, make a nice cup of coffee and listen to the wind outside. That is life-affirming. We do have a lot of water! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For swimming, profession, fun, games, competition and a lot of other things. A summer day at the sea with sunshine and warm weather is what, most people dream about, when holidaying here. But the dream of the anglers is the large salmon in Skjern Ă&#x2026;, the many herrings in Hvide Sande or the delicious trouts from the lakes in the area, are just as lifelike. Along the blue sea you will meet miles of wide, white sand beaches and nice dunes, who all year will give you magnificent experiences. Here people will go swimming and the good life is being lived â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people play beach volley, as well as other games, children build sandcastles and play. The coast has big amenity value and give good conditions for great experiences in the nature, swimming and watersports.

The Wadden National Park is the wonder of the western edge of the region. Some 12 million migratory birds touch down here each year and resident starlings often demonstrate the “Black Sun” phenomenon, when swarms of thousands take wing and blot out the sun. The Wadden Sea Centre in Ribe provides families with a fine spot for learning about the shallow waters of the Wadden Sea. The marshy land and salt from the sea provide excellent grazing that helps produce delectable local lamb and beef.

South Jutland

It could be said that the contrasting scenery symbolizes the cultural contrasts of South Jutland. The region has a turbulent history and has changed from being Danish to German territory and back several times. Its culture, architecture and cuisine all reflect the influence of Denmark’s southern neighbour. The scenery of east and west are vastly different, with the beaches along Little Belt and lush farmland of the former standing in sharp contrast to the dunes and marshes on the west side.

Conflict and important roots of Danish history Viking chieftains once ruled and battled each other in South Jutland. Ribe is the oldest permanent settlement in Denmark. Its Viking Museum tells about the founding of the town in approx. 700 AD, and a Viking village has been recreated for family fun at the Viking Centre. The demise of the Old Norse religion began in the mid-9th century with the foundation of the country’s first church – Ribe Cathedral, the Church of Our Lady. Another site well worth visiting is the nearby abbey of St Catharinae.

Bisecting the region all the way to Viborg is Hærvejen (The Military Road), the primary artery for Danish military logistics. Today the road is a favourite with trekkers and cyclists who enjoy the sights and accommodation along the way. Moving east, the town of Kolding is home to the citadel of Koldinghus, which perches above Kolding Fjord. The fortress was founded in 1268, but the structure which is still standing dates from the 15th century. The town’s Trapholt Museum offers a mixture of exhibits but has a first-rate permanent display of Danish furniture from Danish Modern and its inspiration to the present day. Just outside Kolding is Christiansfeld, a town set to become a UNESCO National Heritage Site. Founded by the Dutch Moravian Brothers, virtually the whole town as it stands today was built between 1773-1812 and is noted for the meticulous craftsmanship of its buildings and interiors.

Fredericia to the east is the gateway to Jutland from Funen. The town grew out of King Christian IV’s ambitions to build a major defence installation and town in Jutland. The extensive ramparts, begun in the mid-17th century, are considered to be the best preserved in northern Europe. Today the installations serve as a public park. Part of the town’s rapid growth was due to a royal decree dictating religious tolerance and an ensuing influx of Jews and French Huguenots. Heading south, adventure awaits on the little island of Als, where Danfoss Universe is located. The site combines science with fun activities that test your skills and provide opportunities for learning. Sønderborg, on the western edge of the island, hosts an annual medieval ring jousting festival. Just across the sound is Dybøl, where in 1864 German troops soundly defeated the Danes in a battle that would dramatically influence the country and its people for at least a century. Tønder, a traditional market town within walking distance of the German border, hosts an annual international folk music festival. The quaint attraction of the town draws visitors all year round, but each year Tønder overflows with lovers of folk music.

The Danish island of Romø and the German island of Sylt are but a short drive from Tønder. Just outside town in the village of Møgeltønder is Schackenborg Castle, home to HRH Prince Joachim and his family. Although closed to the public, regular tours of the gardens are offered in the summer.

When you enter Ribe Cathedral, you begin a journey through centuries of Danish history and church history. Ribe Cathedral, which is Denmark’s oldest and best-kept cathedral was begun around 1100 AD and is among the few attractions in West Denmark to have three Michelin stars. In other words, Ribe Cathedral is well worth a journey. Play on colour in the apse Carl-Henning Pedersen’s decorations of the apse will instantly catch your attention. First, in the arches of the apse, the seven large mosaics with biblical motives, then the stained glass windows, and last, the frescos on the vaulted ceiling, all created during the years 1982–1987. Three million small stones were used for the mosaics. The frescos in the vault created debate. CarlHenningPedersen found the pivotal inspiration for the motives while lying on his back on a scaffold erected under the heavenly vault and there heard the rush of the organ. Certainly, he established new boundaries for decoration of churches. Some consider the frescoes to be among his major work, others that his iconography went too far.

Ribe Museum of Art was recently reopened by Queen Margrethe II after extensive restoration, and it is now considered to be, not only one of Denmark´s oldest museums, but also one of the most exquisite, with an impressive collection of Danish art from the mid-18th century to the 20th century. While you make your way through the beautiful listed building, you are simultaneously moving through time, exploring masterpieces representing major periods in Danish painting such as the Golden Age, realism, The Skagen Painters and Modernism. The Museum has just the right number of exhibits to give you an impression of the Danish art without feeling too exhausted. Once you have finished taking in this magnificent display, you absolutely must take a stroll through the romantic garden, complete with a garden pavilion and a picturesque stream, followed by a treat in the museum café or coffee on the terrace.

of the town. Fredericia Ramparts, a green oasis within the town itself, is the perfect place for a stroll through history. Angling in the Little Belt is extremely popular and the many forest trails and marked routes are a great hit among cyclists. For those who prefer to take things a little easier, there is ample opportunity to explore the wonderful countryside by car.

To attract people to settle in the new town, the king gave Fredericia certain privileges, including tax exemption, freedom of religion and asylum to all new citizens. Therefore, the town became a melting pot of many different cultures, religions and nationalities as well as a mix of entrepreneurs, thieves and an assortment of folks. Go exploring and let the museums, buildings and monuments tell you the intriguing history of Fredericia.

Group arrangements Guided tours for groups and companies are organised all year round, focusing on the historical city centre and the beautiful nature around Fredericia. The tours can include anything from a traditional walk on the ramparts to company visits in the area or other guided theme tours focusing on, for example, religious communities or courtyards in Fredericia. As a new thing this year the Carlsberg brewery opens for conducted tours.

Lots of culture and special shops with everything from delicacies to unique crafts. Haderslev Municipality has a little bit of everything.

And no matter whether you like canoeing or shopping, visiting palaces or prefer to enjoy the southern Jutland ‘sausage table,’ then we have it in Haderslev. It is no surprise that many have fought over exactly our part of Denmark through history. Please come and visit us and find out why yourself! Haderslev is a more than 700 years old market town that used to be a centre of trade between western and eastern Denmark. Haderslev town is very much characterised by its long history. The old town with the Cathedral and the Square at the centre is well preserved and blessed with houses as old as from the 1500s, You can go on guided tours in the old town or walk with the watchmen when they do their evening rounds through town. Plenty of water and friendly beaches White beaches stretch along the whole coast towards Little Belt with plenty of opportunities for both bathing and fishing, diving and surfing. Little Belt is part of Denmark’s inner waters so waves are usually not very high and beaches are easy to survey. And there is not a long way from the sand dunes to the water’s edge, so even though you need to be vigilant all the time when you are on a beach, the beaches at Little Belt are some of Denmark’s most safe and child-friendly ones.

Sønderjylland has its own History This is already evident from about the end of prehistoric Denmark, when the region, along with the present-day German Schleswig, established a cultural unity called Sønderjylland, from the fourteenth century, Slesvig. The Eider is portrayed early on as the southern border of Sønderjylland, and at the end of the seventh century, a boundary wall was constructed to the south - the Dannevirke. In the twelfth century, the river Kongeåen was the northern border of the region; Sønderjylland is described as the area ‘sønden å’ (south of the river). In early medieval times, the Danish king placed a border guard – often one of his sons – in the area. This was necessary because Sønderjylland has throughout history been the bridgehead to Scandinavia and thus an area prone to attack from the south. From around 1200, the border area of Sønderjylland became the duchy Slesvig. Although the duchy was a fief under the Danish Crown, the dukes strove for independence. During medieval times, the connection between the Duchy of Slesvig and the German duchy of Holstein grew closer. From 1460 the Danish king became the duke of both duchies. The connection between Slesvig and Holstein grew stronger, despite the fact that the two duchies were split between separate dukes. Under the collective name ‘the Duchies’, the entire area was one of the economically most important territories to the Danish Monarchy until the nineteenth century. 252

From around 1830, nationality came to play an increasingly important role and the question of whether Schleswig and Holstein should become independent or belong to Denmark or to Germany became increasingly significant. This culminated in the two wars over Slesvig in 1848-50 and 1864. In 1864, Slesvig was annexed by Prussia and became a part of the German Empire. In 1920, the former duchy was split at the current border on the basis of a referendum. Sønderjylland, or North Schleswig, became a part of the Danish Kingdom for the first time since the thirteenth century and South Schleswig became a part of Germany. However, in both areas there are still national minorities: a Danish minority south of the current border and a German minority north of the border. In addition, a Frisian minority lives on the west coast of South Schleswig. At the museums website www.museum-sonderjylland.dk you will find information on opening hours, ticket prices, email addresses etc. You will also find information about exhibitions and other events.
