Increased production ofbiomass for energy recovery will intensify the pressure on land, leading to further intensification ofagricultural management. Combining forestry and agricultural systems seem to be a promising solution. In a joint research project four agroforestry systems combining SRC strips and crop strips were established in Germany. Each site otTers different initial conditions for combined wood and crop production. Main focus on all sites is the evaluation of economic and ecological issues. The objective is to deduce possibilities ofimprovement and to make relevant information available for practice and consultancy.

  • Zones, Depending on How Far You’Re Going
    Tickets and travel cards in the Greater Copenhagen region When you’re a tourist, you can choose between different forms of tickets and travel cards which are all valid for both buses, trains and Metro in the Greater Copenhagen region. Your choice depends on how much and how you choose to move around during your stay. Single tickets You can buy single tickets that are valid for a stated time period and a specific number of zones, depending on how far you’re going. Single tickets are the obvious choice, if you prefer mainly to walk around town and sometimes choose to take a bus. Discount cards (Danish: Klippekort) If you plan on taking the bus, train or metro several times during your stay, it’s cheaper to use a discount card than buying single tickets. Discount cards are available for 10 journeys within two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or all zones. If, for instance, you buy a discount card for two zones, you have to punch the number of times corresponding to the number of zones you’ll be travelling through. You can see the number of zones on the special zone maps at stations and bus stops. An example is given in the attachment of this document. On the back of the discount card, you can see how long the clip is valid. Several people can travel together on a discount card. This makes the discount card the obvious choice for a group of people who want a flexible solution when moving around town. 24‐hour ticket The 24‐hour ticket offers you 24 hours of unlimited travel by bus, train and Metro throughout all the zones of the Greater Copenhagen region.

  • Bruges, Trier & Cologne: Three New Romantik Hotels in World Heritage Cities
    Bruges, Trier & Cologne: Three new Romantik Hotels in World Heritage Cities (Frankfurt, 1 February 2017) Romantik is expanding its presence at three historic locations: prestigious hotels in the World Heritage Cities of Bruges in Belgium, and Trier and Cologne in Germany have joined the Romantik Hotels brand, which has 200 hotels and 300 partner hotels in ten European countries. The newcomers are Hotel de Orangerie, Hotel Zur Glocke and Hotel im Wasserturm. Travellers can stay at a total of 26 Romantik Hotels located in or near 18 World Heritage Sites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Thomas Edelkamp, Chairman of Romantik, is delighted with the new additions: “The World Heritage Sites are some of the most visited travel destinations in Europe. At Romantik we are now offering guests top hotels at these locations that also have their own very special stories to tell. Our new members highlight a growing trend: more and more outstanding city hotels are choosing to benefit from the marketing strength of the Romantik brand.” Romantik Hotel de Orangerie, Bruges Romantik Hotel de Orangerie is located in the heart of the mediaeval city of Bruges, not far from the main museums and shops and close to the best restaurants. This is one of the most popular hotels in the kingdom. A former 15th century convent, it is situated right by the picturesque Dijver Canal. The Vermast family brings out the historic character of the mediaeval building perfectly with antique furniture and paintings, while successfully creating a contemporary hotel that meets the highest standards. Romantik Hotel Zur Glocke, Trier Romantik Hotel Zur Glocke is a gem in the heart of Trier.

  • Havnene I Fredensborg Kommune
    Alle tiders Nordsjælland MUSEUM NORDSJÆLLANDS ÅRBOG 2017 Havnene i Fredensborg Kommune AF JØRGEN G. BERTHELSEN, BENT SKOV LARSEN, NIELS-JØRGEN PEDERSEN, FLEMMING JAPPSEN OG POUL CHRISTENSEN Gennem flere tusinde år har mennesket ud- nyttet havet til livets opretholdelse og som ad- gangsvej til omverdenen. Omdrejningspunk- tet for denne artikelsamling er de mange havne i Fredensborg Kommune, der gennem tiden er anlagt ved kyststrækningerne ved Øresund og Esrum Sø. Her har indbyggerne gennem flere generationer brugt havet til fi- skeri og transport, og fra midten af 1700-tallet har kronen initieret anlæggelsen af krigshav- ne ved Nivå og Humlebæk. I fem artikler føl- ger vi havnenes udvikling fra deres anlæggel- se til i dag, hvor de primært bliver brugt til lystsejlads. Artiklerne er blevet til i et samarbejde mellem en række kulturhistoriske institutioner i Fre- densborg: Fredensborg Arkiverne, Nivaagaard Teglværks Ringovn, Fredensborg-Humlebæk Lokalhistoriske Forening og Museum Nord- sjælland. Samarbejdet blev igangsat i 2016 på Museum Nordsjællands initiativ som et led i Fredensborg Kommunes kulturstrategi og ud fra et ønske om at forene de lokalhistoriske kræfter omkring formidling.
