The BIGGEST snowman ever!




This picture shows the snowman our boys built with the neighbours' kids this weekend against the background of our neighbours' farm, right by the entrance of our drive.
Mark says it's the biggest ever, more than two metres tall!

The Danish Countryside in Winter



View from our yard onto our neighbour's farm.



Our pond in the back of the garden.



The tiny houses on the horizon are our neighbours and behind the hill is the sea.



The deck chairs are waiting for warmer days...



The garden has an areal of a little more than 10.000 m2 and there are many cosy corners where one can enjoy the sun and the fresh air. Our farm is located on the island of Falster, all connected with bridges, both in the north (approx. an hour to Copenhagen) and in the south (Lolland and it's half an hour to the ship which sails to Germany).

Art and culture



Maribo is a small, cosy town located on the island of Lolland, about half an hour south of us.



There you can also find this old museum, showing you the livestyle that the danish population used to have in the Country side, several centuries ago.



But Denmark has also got more than 6000 km of coastline and so it's not difficult to find some beautiful beaches or a nice marina like this one in Korsør...



Having written about the ice hotel in other postings, they have exported their success into different cities. Copenhagen is one of them, where you can find an ice bar:

Art: an interesting Danish sculptor:

Classic charter: Do you fancy a trip with a schoner or another classic ship? have a look here:


Hunting is something, many people in the country do, but there is one very special event that takes place only once a year, north of Copenhagen: Hubertusjagd in Dyreparken:

And there is somebody watching over you, when night falls in Copenhagen:

Our surroundings


Our surroundings are beautiful.
This bridge is quite close to us, as a matter of fact you can still just see it from the back of our garden!

This is the coastline of our island.

It is not too far from our home to the island Møn, which is very popular by turists, especially because it's so natural and not at all overrun.

All photographs were taken by Martin Schiffer

Where to find us on the net

You can see pictures of our old gallery, our farm, the Bed&Breakfast and the surroundings on our homepage: www.artandholiday.com
There you will also be able to see that we exhibit the artistic creations of both local and international artists.
I myself am an artist as well and my art is both featured in the main house (where our B&B-guests stay) and in the gallery.
Hower, the new gallery is still under renovation, so it will be a few months, before it will re-open.
Still Bed&Breakfast-guests are welcome any time, just call: 0045 - 64 80 14 18

One of the many different pictures we exhibit, are photographs - like this one - taken north of the polar circle.
