If you add the little fish restaurants near the marina, and some picturesque corners, you may spend some pleasant hours there. Koge could be easily reached by train, from Copenhagen (40 km South).
La Koge am fost doar ca sa ma plimb. Citisem pe internet ca este o localitate mica dar pitoreasca asa ca, intr-o dupa-amiaza am luat trenul din Copenhaga si, la 40 km sud de capitala, m-am oprit pe coasta de est a insulei Zealand.
Mentionat documentar pentru prima data in secolul al XI-lea, fondat prin ordin regal, Koge a fost un centru comercial infloritor, bazat pe pescuitul de heringi. Astazi este considerat a fi unul dintre cele mai bine conservate orase medievale din Danemarca.
Ne dovedeste acest lucru cea mai veche casa (pastrata) din tara, construita in 1527, alaturi de alte case vechi, cum ar fi casa de negustor (1619) care adaposteste muzeul. Toate sunt lucrate in stilul cunoscut in Germania ca Fachwerk si in Anglia, ca Tudor.
In zilele de miercuri si sambata se desfasoara aici cea mai mare piata in aer liber, dupa cea din Copenhaga. Primaria, construita in 1552, in fata careia se desfasoara piata, este cea mai veche primarie in functiune din Danemarca.
Biserica orasului, construita in 1324 si reconstruita, in caramida rosie, in 1500, poarta in turnul sau cel mai vechi far construit in Danemarca.
In micuta marina a orasului, mai multe restaurante pescaresti te indeamna la popas.
Casute cu gradini cochete, spre care poti arunca o privire prin portile deschise, te fac sa te simti ca intr-o mica statiune.
Fiecare colt de strada poate fi o surpriza pentru fotograf, precum imaginile surprinse in aceste ultime fotografii.
Ma omori cu pozele din nord! Mi-e atat de dooooooooooooor, iar in Danemarca n-am calcat inca si mi-as dori.
Mie mi-a placut mult, atat cat am vazut.
daa… schimbare de registru…
mai puţin (adică deloc) exotic, dar foarte, foarte plăcut…
mulţumesc, şoimule…
So beautiful! It’s hard to believe it’s over 400 years old.
e atingerea batranei Europe, cu care suntem obisnuiti, Victor…multumesc pentru vizita!
It’s our old Europe, Hanjie! Thanks for the comment.
Traveling Hello Hawk,
yet another great trip report, and if I see too many of the world and world cities. I read that the oldest medieval town and the oldest house in Denmark from 1527 to the countryside.
Your last picture looks like a painting.
Greetings, Helma
Yes Helma, this oldest house is here, in Koge. Thank you for the visit and comment.
Pe mine m-ai facut sa ma uit la Wizz cum ajunge in Dortmund si de-acolo in Danemarca … Destul de usor de ajuns, insa anul viitor l-am planificat pt concedii cu masina si cu cortul.
What a lovely place! Last two photos are awesome and I love these timbered houses! Well, you travel a lot, don’t you?
Eu am zburat atunci direct, Bucuresti-Copenhaga.
Poate imi dai detalii, pe mail, Liliana:)
Yes, I did Joo! This was toward the end of the ’90s.
Indeed seems well preserved …
Thanks for the visit, Wong!
Some very interesting and even fascinating vintage buildings!
Yes, it’a a pretty old town, VP!
Intr-adevar, plin de surprize micutul orasel si f bine conservat!
multumesc mult, teodora, ma bucur sa vad ca ai trecut pe aici!
Beautiful looking village!
