Constituting 70 percent of Denmark, the Jutland Peninsula is this flat country's most rural province. It has the
North Sea to its west, the Baltic Sea to its east, and the Danish-German border to its south.Sunlight a day in
the summer lasts about 18 hours. The Jutland peninsula is connected to the rest of continental Europe, bordering
Germany to the south. To the east, the international waterway of the Sound provides the border to Sweden,
only minutes away by tunnel and bridge.

デンマークの首都、コペンハーゲンはよく知られているが、ユトランド半島とフユン島の地方都市や田園風景はどの
ようなものか、それを知るのが今回のレンタカー旅行であった。デンマークでのハイウェイ走行時の最高速度制限は
直線道路で130キロ/時であるが、あまり130キロ制限の標識はなく、ほとんどの高速道路でスウェーデンと同じ
110キロ/時であった。

デンマーク国内では、ホテルや一部のレストランを除き、英語の通じないことが多かったが、コミニュケーションの
課程で、その地方の人々の暖かみに触れることが出来、とても楽しい思い出として残った。起伏のない平坦な地域に
広がる景色は大きく変化することはなかったが、広大な農地にプロペラがゆっくりと回る風力発電装置は、デンマーク
の田園風景とよく調和していた。

デンマークと言えばアンデルセンを連想される方もいらっしゃるだろう。貧しい人々と共に肩を寄せ合って住んでいた
アンデルセンの生誕１００年を記念して博物館が出来た。その苦難の生涯を時代ごとに紹介している。

オーデンセのあるフユン島の２６の民家を移築、修復して展示しているのがフユン野外博物館である。デンマークの
田舎に点在している、こうした茅葺き屋根の家には実際に人が住んでいるので撮影時にはプライバシーに配慮する
必要がある。しかし、フユン野外博物館ではそうた心配もなく、自由に家の中に入り、調度品、台所、寝室までも
見ることが出来るので非常に興味深い。
