ONE TICKET PLEASE!
Hey Folks! I am Kaustubh! Founder of ‘One Ticket Please’ and I welcome you to my website. Here I present you with my travel experiences and adventures. To give exquisite details about the way to reach the destination and also pinpoint the ethnic attractions.
This tiny archipelago lies in the easternmost region of the Kingdom of Denmark. Christansø and Frederiksø lies in the Baltic sea and are 18 km east to the Island of Bornholm. The Danish people wanted the island to be the easternmost defense point of the country, so consequently, they built the easternmost naval fortress. Prisoners during the war were kept in these naval fortresses.
The Island has some historical forts and also houses some tiny gardens. Two Store Tarn or towers were constructed in the medieval period to guard the coast. Since the modernization left these structures with no use, these towers are now used as cultural museums. Exhibitions on art by local artists, remains, and info about the ecology and history of the island are some of the things displayed in the museum. Most importantly, the island hosts Mediterranean flair.
Enjoy your vacation getting a tan on the shore of the Baltic Sea, sipping a beer, and waiting for Ragnar, along with his Viking army, to sail up to the shore.
