The tower which dates from 1642 gives a panoramic view of the city’s roofs and sights and confirms that for as far as one can see the earth is indeed flat, at least in this part of the world.Rather than climb steps you rise by walking 7.3 turns around a spiral ramp until you reach the platform 34.8m above street level - the view is superb and looking south east (I think) you see The Bridge (Oresund Bridge) which links Denmark with Sweden.
The Bridge is also a Scandinavian-noir crime television series & was the first tv series from this part of the world that we watched and is recommended. It is available on Netflix.
On the way into the city we deviated into a cemetery to view the resting place of Hans Christian Andersen - the cemetery seems not to be concerned with use of space as there are large areas between the graves and the locals appear to treat it as another city park.
The open sandwich is uniquely Danish just like the Danish pastry and that is what we enjoyed for lunch today - each smorrebrod typically consists of a piece buttered rye bread topped with either a piece of meat or fish with cheese or spreads and garnishes - another recommendation.
The other day we undertook our own research as we walked passed a McDonald’s store and found that the price of a Big Mac converted to NZD was $14.45.
Another enjoyable day in Denmark.
