| The Gamle By in Århus |
|
|
|
The Gamle By (the Old Town) is a Danish open air museum. The 70 houses in this museum were brought here from all over Denmark. Every building is open for the public. Inside you will find a bakery, a saddlery, a bookbinder, and so on. There's even a functioning windmill. Sometimes there are people walking around in old costumes. |

The timber framing looks real, but in many cases it is just painted upon the houses. But you have to be a very close observer to see this. We only saw it because they were repainting one of the houses. |

If you are thirsty, you can drink a bit of water from this fountain. Or you can go to the café, where (if you're lucky) a jazzband is playing. Have a beer, eat a Danish sausage (pølse), listen to the music and enjoy. |
