Silkeborg Tollund Man
Viggo and Emil Hoejgaard from the village of Tollund found this remarkably well preserved body in 1950. Carbon dating has determined that Tollund Man lived in 400BC.
As there is a leather noose around his neck, it is probable that he was hanged. Analysis of his stomach contents showed that his last meal was gruel. He had been buried naked except for a pointed skin cap and a hide belt.

Copenhagen Tivoli Gardens
Georg Carstensen called his amusement park Tivoli & Vauxhall when it opened in 1843. Both names were commonly used for similar parks in other major European cities. The Vauxhall name came from the park in London and Tivoli was the name of an amusement park that Carstensen had visited in Paris. In fact, Tivoli is the name of an Italian village near Rome where Emperor Hadrian had a summer villa with exquisite gardens and a waterfall. In the summer Tivoli is decorated with 115,000 coloured lights. There are more than 30 restaurants, cafés and other eateries to choose from.
