I’d go to Denmark to see Copenhill, the little mermaid statue, the really cool museum, and to eat some Scandinavian treats; and they fly to my real tourist destination In all fairness, I’d love to visit Denmark and see some people I know there, and maybe try to find out about my families heritage (though I may have more luck Norway/Germany) Edited October 29, 2019 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Agger 1,663 Posted October 29, 2019 #785 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Tønder Station - Photo: Mef.ellingen - Wiki We can now welcome @Function CR Lee, @Manulete and @mrv86 to Tønder, just North of the German border. This is hometown of this year’s Danish TISC Annual contestant, Jacob Dinesen. The city goes back a long way, but the first signs of the city in literature is in fact the Arabian cartographer al-Idrisi who mentions the town in the 1100s. It became the first market town of Denmark when it got its rights in 1243 with trade happening from the original harbor. With the close proximity to Germany the city saw plenty of trade and travel to and from Germany. However to prevent flooding, dykes were built meaning that Tønder isn’t by the sea any longer. Just like the rest of southern Jutland, Tønder was German from 1864 to 1920. Nowadays Tønder is most well known for it’s annual Music Festival, Tønder Festival with folk music as main genre. Among the acts on this year’s festival was former TISC participant Hudson Taylor. Tønder - Photo: Clemensfranz - Wiki Tønder isn’t that much of a sports city. The best handball team, TM Tønder Håndbold, was however in the best series for a couple of years.’Former football national team Henning Munk Jensen is however from Tønder. Tønder Museum and Water tower - Photo: Jürgen Howaldt - Wiki Even though Tønder is a rather small city, we’ll make sure that you will have ways to spend your time here. We have a fine museum of cultural history, a nice exhibition of chairs from the famous designer Hans Wegner, plenty of beautiful nature, lots of historical buildings and several lovely towns nearby.

heywoodu 15,144 Posted October 29, 2019 #787 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I find it interesting how the first mention of some Danish town is in some Arab cartographer's work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
