Ertholmen is a place steeped in history, a handful of islands, two of which are inhabited. They are the easternmost outpost of Denmark. The first people to live on Ertholmen were soldiers, because Denmark needed a naval base and there was a natural harbour between Frederiksø and Christiansø. Today's ferry and lots of fishing boats and private yachts are still using it. Also a fort was built and extended over the years. In 1808, when Denmark was at war with England, an English armada tried to land but was driven away by cannon fire and bad weather. In the early 19th century there also was a political prison on Frederiksø for people who demanded more democracy. When the barracks were no longer needed, the Danish government allowed fishermen and former soldiers to live in the old buildings (the flats must be tiny but that's just a guess as I've never been inside one). Some painters and birdwatchers also came, and these days the islands are a tourist attraction. Most of the houses are Listed Buildings, and the post office sells special stamps. They've even got a small inn where you can book rooms for a longer stay, but most visitors just come for a "day" trip (three hours) by ferry from Gudhjem. In the summer season there are three trips to the islands daily but you have to leave on the same boat that took you there, otherwise everybody would want to leave on the last one. There's a museum in Lille Tarn, which opens during the summer months.

Managed to visit the David Hockney exhibition on its third-last day at Museum Ludwig in Cologne. Breathtaking! This "hockneyized" image shows the exhibition poster. Am drittletzten Tag gelang es mir schließlich, die David-Hockney-Ausstellung "A Bigger Picture" im Museum Ludwig, Köln zu besuchen. Atemberaubend! Das "hockneyisierte" Bild zeigt das Ausstellungsplakat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hockney Created with fd's Flickr Toys Copyright © Baerbel A Rautenberg (BARefoot images). All rights reserved.
