Gold Coast - The Danish Riviera

Dear child has many names. Smiling Nordsjælland today focuses on marketing The Danish Riviera from Hornbæk - Dronningmølle - Aalsgårde, over Helsingør along the gold coast Søndre Strandvej - Snekkersten and Det mondæne Espergærde.

In the "Happy 60s", the Danish Riviera was named as "The happy corner of the Northern Scandinavia" with three of Denmark's most distinguished hotels, casinos, etc. - today the Danish Riviera is still referred to as the "Gold Coast" because Elsinore has one of Denmark's highest discharge bases, (i.e. Elsinore is the municipality in Denmark with the most really rich inhabitants)

For more than 170 years, the Danish Riviera has attracted Copenhagen better citizenship. The Copenhagen art elite with the actress "Johanne Luise Heiberg" and her husband Johan Ludvig Heiberg in the tip,   fled to forest and beach in Hornbæk,   from the noise and chaos of the big city.

Due to the special light, which can also be experienced in Skagen, it was Hornbæk that was to add town and beach to the north coast's new visitors - the art elite, who among other artists were the famous Danish painter P.S. Krøyer, H.C. Andersen , August Strindberg and Holger Drachmann. With the years came the better citizenship - in the summer everyone would be seen at the Danish Riviera, which published the first tourist brochure in 1923.

Hornbæk was Denmark's first tourist town. When it was rumored in Copenhagen that the art scene moved to the fashionable Hornbæk in the summer, the small fishing village turned into a real tourist town. New hotels and guest houses were built,
