Tips

April 13, 2025

H.C. Andersen was quite impressed by the beauty of the surroundings of Breitenburg and the Stör valley. In the chapter "Breitenburg" of his work "A Poet's Bazaar," we find this rapturous description:

"In the eternally young nature all around, I reveled in old memories. From the high tower of the castle, I gazed far out over the lush marshland, where in summer the fat cattle graze in the grass up to their bellies; I looked at the many forests where Ansgarius wandered and preached Christ's teachings to the Danish heathens; a small village still commemorates this by its name. There stood his house, here he lived. The church beyond, near Heiligenstädten, where the earth is heaped high around the wall, still stands from his time; just as then, it is reflected in the Stör, where he rowed across in his humble fishing boat to the small footpath between the reeds."
