Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

The Genforeningsstenen memorial stone in Lavensby records a precise voting result from 1920; the Rideruten Als includes a section between Lavensby and Mjels.

Local History in Two Time Periods

The Genforeningsstenen memorial stone in Lavensby records the result of the 1920 reunification vote: 150 votes for Denmark and one vote for Germany. The early mention of the name and the stone represent two different ways of looking at Lavensby’s past: the history of the place name, and a voting result recorded in specific numbers.
