“It’s the closest Denmark comes to a wilderness. Broad horizons and a chance to listen to the silence,” Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said as he opened Denmark’s first national park in Thy in northwestern Jutland today.
But he added that Danes had not always viewed nature in such a light. For generations, Danes have lived from the land, cultivated the moors, drained fjords and straightened streams to make Denmark one of the world’s leading agricultural countries, he said.
