The Blue Cube, Universe<br />

The church stables at Egen Church<br />

are some of Denmark’s most beautiful<br />

and well preserved stables. There<br />

are 34 stables, each with room for 2<br />

horses. The stables are between 150<br />

and 200 years old.<br />

Northern Europe’s highest sundial<br />

is located south of Egen Church on<br />

the opposite side of the main road.<br />

It is 12 metres high and placed on a<br />

28 diameter construction. It indicates<br />

time with the incredible precision<br />

of +/- one minute, compared to the<br />

usual 30 minutes.<br />

The theme park Universe is the<br />

area’s main attraction. Here you have<br />

to use both your body and your mind<br />

when you explore the exciting activities<br />

and natural phenomena. Read<br />

more on p. 33, 51 and the back cover.<br />

The Hjortspringbåden boat is<br />

Scandinavia’s oldest find of sacrificed<br />

weapons. This plank-built boat was<br />

found in a bog just north of Guderup<br />

and can be dated back to around 350<br />

BC. A copy of the boat was built at<br />

the Lindeværftet shipyard, where<br />

you can have a look at the boat and<br />

see Iron Age clothes, objects and<br />

workshops.<br />

The Nørreskoven Forest on the east<br />

coast is exceptionally rich in relics of<br />

ancient culture. More than 80 ancient<br />

monuments are registered in the<br />

7 km 2 large forest. Many of them are<br />

round and long barrows from the<br />

Neolithic Age (New Stone Age).<br />

The ruined castle Østerholm lies<br />

in a garden on Strelbjergvej in<br />

the small village Østerholm at the<br />

Nørreskoven forest. It was used as<br />

a widow’s dwelling in connection<br />

with Nordborg Castle. Today only the<br />

foundation stones remain.<br />

You will find an overview of the<br />

area’s museums on p. 50-53.<br />
