H. C. Andersens Fødeø: FYN
Fyn er paa mange Maader favoriseret frem for
nogen anden af Danmarks talrige Øer, baade fra
Naturens Haand og i Kraft af sine mange velbeva
rede kulturhistoriske Minder. Ingen anden Lands
del er saa rig paa store Herregaarde og Slotsbyg-
ninger fra Middelalderen og Renæssancen. Et af
Landets mærkeligste Arkitekturminder fra Middel
alderen er
Nyborg Slot,
hvis ældste Dele stammer
fra omkring 1200. Fyn er Frugtbarhedens og de
rene Naturglæders Land. Overalt træffer man dyr
kede Marker, indrammet af levende Hegn, og store
velholdte Haver og Frugtplantager. Om det saa er
Landevejene, saa er de mange Steder flankeret af
Frugttræer og blomsterbærende Buske, der i
Blomstringstiden gør visse Strækninger til mile
lange, duftende Alléer. Ikke forgæves har den ver
densberømte Æventyrdigter
Hans Christian An
dersens
Vugge staaet paa Fyn. Den samme milde
Tone, den samme Frodighed og Grokraft som raa-
der paa Fyn, genfinder man i hans visdomsfulde
Æventyr. Han fødtes 1805 i Fyns nu største By,
Odense,
hvor lians Fødested, et beskedent lille Hus,
nu er indrettet som Museum med mange kuriøse
og smukke Minder om Digteren. Med Glæde bøjer
mange Hundrede Gæster om Aaret Hovedet for at
slippe ind gennem de lave Dør. — Men ellers er det
ubestridt
Svendborgs
idylliske Omegn, der virker
mest dragende paa Turister. Fra den herlige
Strandpromenade, der fører fra Byen ud til Bade
hotellet Christiansminde har man den mest be-
daarende Udsigt over
Svendborg Sund
til skov
klædte Brinker og Kystens flade Odder og Næs
med Fiskelejer, Baadeværfter og Badehuse og An
løbsbroer for de stærkt benyttede Sunddampere.
SØNDERJYLLAND
En af de smukkeste Sejlture, der kan gøres i
Danmark, er den fra Faaborg paa Fyn til Sønder
borg eller Momimark, henholdsvis paa Vest- og
Østsiden af den store, smukke 0 , Als, i Sønder
jylland.
Sønderborg
er en historisk interessant,
gammel By, der ligger meget smukt paa begge Si
der af Alssund. I umiddelbar Nærhed af Byen paa
Fastlandssiden ligger de minderige Slagmarker
ved Dybbøl, Sundeved og Broager. Den hele Egn
hører i landskabelig Henseende til Danmarks al
lersmukkeste.
JYLLANDS VESTKYST
Intet Steds i Danmark udfolder der sig et saa
storslaaet Badeliv som langs Jyllands Vestkyst.
Middle Ages is
Nyborg Castle
the oldest part of
which dates from about 1200. Funen iis the land
of fertility and sheer natiunal! delights. All over one
finds cultivated fiekls framed with hedgerows and
large well kept gardens and orchards. Even the
very higihways are in many places flanked with
fruit trees and flowering bushes, which when in
bloom transform certain parts into mile long
avenues redolent wilfch a wonderfuil fragrance. Not
in vain has the cradlle of the world famed fairy
tale wniiter
Hans Christian Andersen
stood in Fu
nen. The same mild note, the same fecundity and
growth as is met with in Funen, is recognized
again in his wise tales. He was born in 1805 at
Odense, the largest town in Funen, in a
modest little dwelling, which has now been
arranged as a museum whit many curious
and beautiful relics connected with the poet.
Innumerable guests annually bow their heads
willingly in order to pass under the low
doorway into the precincts and surroundings
particularly associated with the master. But other-
wise it is beyond diisputé the idyllic district
around
Svendborg
which attracts tourists. From
the magnificent strand promenade which leads
from thej town out to the marine hotel Chri stians -
mimde one has a miost deliglitful view over
Svend
borg Sound
to the wood-clad brinks and the flat
tongues of land and points, dotted with fishing
haimlets, boat building yards, bathing liuts and
landing piers for the much availed of steamers
plying in the Sound.
SOUTH JUTLAND
One of the most deliglitful sea trips which can
be made in Denmark is Lliat from Faaborg in Fu
nen to
Sonderborg
or Mommark, respectively
011
the west and east sides of the large pretty islands
Als, in South Jutland. Sonderborg is an historical
and interesting old town beautifully situated
011
both sides of the Alssund. In the immediate v i-
ciniiity oif the town
011
the oontinent side lie the
famous battle-fields at Dybbol, Sundeved and Bro
ager. The whole district around liere belongs to the
prettiest in Denmark.
THE WEST COAST OF JUTLAND
No where else in Denmark is there such a glori-
ous bathing life as that diisplayed along the west
coast of Jutland. On the ahnotst 350 km long coast
line from Fano to the Scaw are situated a very
large proportion of the large and small marine
hotels of the country. The conditions here are also
perfectly ideal for bathing. The coast line is for
the whole distance almost unbroken, and behind
