The hill, which still forms the central point of the town, was a place of assembly during the whole of the Middle Ages. The oldest known privileges of the town date from 1243. In the 19th C. the fortunes of Hjorring improved; the economy thrived and industries came to the town, including dyeworks, iron-foundries, etc. In the middle of the 19th C. the roads to Hjorring were improved and in 1871 the town was linked to the regional rail network. Hjørring is noted as a cultural center with notable churches and architecture as well as an art gallery in the old cloth mill. TESTIMONIALS “The trip was great. The tour manager and bus driver were awesome. The girls had a great time and it was fun watching them adjust to new environments (food, language, currency, etc.) and getting the chance to experience soccer in another country. They will never forget this trip and neither will I.” Debbie Thompson, Parent, Maryland State Girls ODP, Denmark
“I had a fantastic time and the trip far exceeded my expectations. As a chaperone, it was a pleasure getting to know the girls and their personalities on and off the field. For the girls, the trip was a great introduction to international travel, adapting to other cultures and customs as well a terrific soccer experience. I would recommend the experience to anyone interested in advancing the intellectual and athletic education of their child. Thank you Excel International Sports for a job well done.” Kenneth Stipcak, Maryland State Girls ODP, Denmark
“The team at Excel did a wonderful job of coordinating our trip to Denmark. Our tour guide was professional, courteous and was a wealth of information. From an educational, cultural and sporting standpoint, the trip was first class. Our team enjoyed quality games and the opportunity to socialize with our opponents at the end of the match. The cultural event to Tivoli Park, Frederiksborg Castle and the Viking Museum were great. Excel really made the experience a memory of a lifetime.” Joe Dizio, Eastern Pennsylvania Boys ODP, Denmark
