Sønderborg, Denmark: A New Cruise Destination
This past summer, I had the opportunity to spend a few days in a destination that eagerly wants to welcome your cruise ships.
S?nderborg, Denmark, is a small city with a natural harbor and a variety of attractions to offer your guests. I was fortunate enough to experience some of the activities during my visit.
Large ships will need to drop anchor, but small ships, up to 135 meters, can tie up along the harborfront, which has amazing access to all that S?nderborg has to offer.
As an avid cruiser, I know it is exceptionally rare for ships to dock in a location that puts guests within easy walking distance of an ancient castle, a charming city center and an extended network of hiking and biking trails, but when your ship ties up in S?nderborg, your guests will have access to all of this ? and much more.
S?nderborg Castle is only a few steps away. The castle has not only a fascinating history, which is interpreted in the castle museum, but also a rousing event called the Tilting of the Rings. I know your guests will enjoy the event as much as I did.
If your guests want to stretch their legs, they can step off the ship and onto a nature trail that runs for more than 70 kilometers.
There are also many opportunities for extended shore excursions.
Just 10 minutes away, thereapos;s a historic battlefield where living history exhibits tell a story similar to the American Civil War. Your American guests will recognize the date, 1864, when their country was embroiled in a deadly war. A similar battle was taking place in Denmark, and the story is well-told
Not far from the battlefield is the summer residence of Denmarkapos;s Royal family. When Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik occupy Gr?sten Palace, there is a changing of the guard just like in Copenhagen (although this one is smaller).
If your ship carries families, youapos;ll be pleased to know that there is a theme park called Danfoss Universe less than 45 minutes drive. Although particularly suitable for kids, visitors of all ages will enjoy this fun immersion into physics and natural science.
So where is S?nderborg? Itapos;s near Denmarkapos;s border with Germany so your guests can actually enjoy a visit to two countries on one stop.
You may want to be a well-established player in the region should S?nderborg succeed in being nominated European Capital of Culture in 2017
So I encourage you to consider putting Sonderborg on your cruise itineraries. The city warmly welcomes you. This is Ralph Grizzle. Thanks for tuning in.
SKAGEN CAMPING - GRENEN - DENMARK
Skagen Camping is located on the outskirts of the Denmark's northernmost and sunniest town. If you're planning to see the Grenen Pensinsula (the Skagen Odde) this is a great place to stay.
The Skagen Camping is a vast camping site, very family-oriented, peaceful, quiet and relaxed. The staff are so friendly and helpful that our stay there almost felt like visiting family rather than staying at a camp. The numbered pitches are surrounded by trees and bushes, giving you all the privacy you need but without blocking the sun, that you can enjoy. The ground all around the camping is grassy and very even and there are two service buildings available to guests. A highlight of this camping site is undoubtedly the open air swimming pool with a set of sunbeds where you can enjoy this very sunny area of Denmark. Right next to the swimming pool is the TV room where you can also use the free internet. The wifi is not available enywhere else on the camping site, which can be seen as a downside, but on the other hand it makes you really appreciate the wonderful surroundings.
There is also a great sandy playground for kids, and a Dino mini golf court, adjacent to the camping ground. At the reception you can also rent bikes. You can get fresh bread at the reception every day.
The service buildings, the showers and the toilets are well maintained and clean. The showers are paid.
We spent 3 nights on this camping and we loved it! It is a family-style camping, and although the faicilities are not ultra-modern, we spend some wonderful times there feeling relaxed and welcome. Additional point goes for the swimming pool! Our overall rating is 10 out of 10 stars. If you want to relax and have a break from your busy life, you should definitely go to Skagen Camping.

In 1925, the Hjørring-Hirtshals railway line opened to link the port of Hirtshals with the Danish rail network. In 1966, the harbour was expanded and became one of the largest fishing ports in Denmark.

Memorial in Hirtshals to the crew of lifeboat RF 2, sunk in 1981
The sea level has been as high as 1 meter over the norm. But in days where there is no wind, the waves typically won't be higher than max 20 cm (8 in) over normal sea level.
Due to the proximity of the town to the coast, sea fog is not an uncommon occurrence. In the winter, the air temperature can fall as low as 1.6 degrees, but in the summer, it can reach over 25 degrees Celsius.
Waves[edit]
Hirtshals Havnekontor (Hirtshals' Harbor Office) keeps track of wave periods. On yearly basis wave periods fluctuate between half a second, up to about 9 seconds. According to Hirtshals Havnekontor (Hirtshals' Harbor Office) normal wave heights are between 2 and 2.5 meters.
Wind[edit]
The prevailing wind in Hirtshals is to the south or south-west. Wind speeds vary all year long, usually topping at 10 m/s during the winter.
Economy[edit]

Fishing plays a big role for the town and its inhabitants, as does tourism and the renting of summer homes. Due to the ferry connections with Norway, the shops in Hirtshals thrive on the large number of visitors, especially Norwegians, who shop in the small town all year long.
Culture[edit]
It is the home of one of the largest aquariums in Europe, the Nordsøen Oceanarium. This was built in 1984 as Nordsømuseet, The North Sea Museum,and got its present name after it was extended in 1998 to include a fish tank containing 4,5 million litres of water, making it the largest in northern Europe. The Oceanarium has 70 different species in its collection. A fire in December 2003 destroyed the new extension, but the Nordsøen Oceanarium was rebuilt and reopened on July 22, 2005.

Flights of Mind at Berkeley Public Library
This short film documents an art installation at Berkeley Public Library. The artwork speaks to the role books have played in the artist's life, and expresses the artist's response to her local library--the building and its contents, the community that constitutes it, and the myriad activities taking place there. At its most fundamental level, this installation of altered books celebrates possibility and community across space and time, as mediated through books, as well as the enabling technologies and institutions that enable reading in all media.
