As a child in former Eastern Germany, my knowledge of our neighbouring country Denmark naturally was limited to the southern tip and the harbour of Gedser.

That tiny bit of land happened to be the only piece of Denmark that Eastern German maps would reveal: On the very top margin of the map, surrounded by the blue sea, remote and ever out of reach. How does it look up there on the other side of the Baltic, I wondered.

Since came the fall of the Berlin Wall and the freedom of travelling. My first visits to Denmark in the middle of the 1990's finally lead to one year's guest studies at Roskilde University in 2003 and eventually came the decision to stay here permanently.

Today I am a historian, and as such, I see lots of history and tales wherever I go or travel. This, of course, also shows in my work as a tour manager! I am always interested in figuring out why a certain building, a bridge, an earthwork or a pair of rusty railway tracks in a forest lie where they lie, and what may have been the thoughts of their constructors. So in my view everything a tour manager sees and explains to his tourists, has the potential to become vivid and entertaining.

I can basically guide at every destination in Denmark at comparatively short notice. Particularly, through living and working in several towns in this country for the last 15 years, I have special knowledge of Copenhagen and Zealand, the southern islands of Lolland, Falster and Langeland, as well as the province of Southern Jutland at the border to Germany.

And of course, the little seaport of Gedser at the southern tip of Denmark still is one of my favourite destinations in this country!
