2. (Dyrehavsbakken) Bakken
Bakken is considered the OLDEST amusement park in the WORLD!
It's history dates back to the discovery of a spring in the year 1583!
The spring's water was quickly regarded to having a great amount of healing powers, attracting people from miles away to drink it. They were soon joined by entertainers, who took advantage of the situation to make money by creating side shows.
From there on, the small spring attraction developed into what it is today - a quaint, low key version of Tivoli, even though it is said that Tivoli itself was based out of Bakken than the latter.

Daily Life
"Many non-Danes living in Denmark suggest that the Danes are open and welcoming. Others may call them reserved, especially during the long winter months. For many Danes, the word "hygge" is essential when describing something uniquely Danish. The word is best translated into English as ‘coziness’ or ‘conviviality’ and reflects the sense of community and sense of security which comes about when Danes spend quality time with people they care about."
