10-night Northern Europe cruise to Enchanting Storybook Lands!


All aboard the Disney Magic as she sets sail to Northern Europe! CaribbeanDays, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, can book your cruise!

2019, the Disney Magic debarks for Fredericia, Denmark! Be Our Guest on this enchanting adventure of charming streets, beautiful churches and old houses set within historic 17th-century ramparts! These surrounding areas of Denmark are steeped in Viking history, and there’s even a special Disney connection nearby at the home of the renowned fairy tale author who inspired many beloved Disney films, Hans Christian Andersen!

Itinerary:

Take in the views: Go for a stroll along Fredericia’s mighty city walls, the best-preserved ramparts in Northern Europe, where you can experience all of its charm up close. Then find a different perspective: You can climb to the top of White Water Tower for stunning panoramic views of the town, beach and surrounding hills and woods, or explore the exhibits and gardens at Fredericia Town Museum for a look at the city’s colorful past.
Soak up the sun: Swim, sunbathe, dine or enjoy a game of volleyball at Østerstrand, a pristine beach near the city center. Or make your way to Madsby Legepark, where you can enjoy a family picnic on the lovely greens — plus, kids will love the park’s playgrounds, activities and summertime puppet shows.

Stop for a bite: Head to a café to sample local delicacies. Traditional Danish sausages, open-face sandwiches, rich potato dishes, pickled veggies, meatballs and cured fish are all worth a try. Top it all off with fresh ice cream or ostebord, a cheese plate served after a meal with wine, grapes and crackers.
Venture beyond the port: Take advantage of the easy access to some of Denmark’s most famous historical sites …

Not far from Fredericia are the Jelling monuments — a fascinating collection of standing stones and burial mounds marking the site where Viking King Harald Bluetooth erected a rune stone to proclaim his achievements and christen Denmark more than 1,000 years ago. Marvel at these historic landmarks and discover the legacy of the Vikings at the impressive museum onsite.

A quick trip to Odense, the main city on the beautiful island of Funen, takes you to the birthplace of prolific Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, whose stories inspired many of your favorite Disney films like “The Little Mermaid” and “Frozen.” Here, you can visit Andersen’s home as well as various museums and activity centers that bring added meaning to his beloved fairy tales.

#Denville – County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month

 

 

Posted Tuesday, July 17th, 2018

Openaki Road Bridge to be Shut from Aug. 8-10  

The busy Openaki Road Bridge in Denville, a one-lane span that crosses the Den Brook at Openaki Lake, at the Randolph border, will be closed to traffic for at least three days next month to allow for repairs to a recently discovered structural flaw.

County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month

Openaki Road Bridge

State bridge crews, during a routine inspection, discovered a flaw in the concrete deck on the bridge, which requires immediate repair.

While the bridge currently is safe to use, that section of the bridge deck must be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration.

The bridge is scheduled to be fully replaced in 2020 but the existing bridge must be kept in service until that time.

The repair work, to be done by the county Bridge Division, has tentatively been scheduled for Aug. 8, 9, and 10, prior to the start of the school year.

County officials have reached out to officials in Randolph and Denville to advise them of the issue, and to coordinate the repair work schedule and a detour plan.

During the work, Openaki Road, which becomes Casterline Road in Randolph, will be closed and traffic will be detoured from Shongum Road to Everdale Road to Mountainside Drive. Motorists should plan for alternate routes, especially during commuter hours.

The Openaki Road Bridge, a steel stringer structure, was built in 1924 and was rehabilitated in 1992. The 15.5-foot-wide, 54-footlong bridge carries an average of 4,600 vehicles daily. It is posted to carry 13 tons.

The recent inspection by the state Department of Transportation found that a portion of the deck slab was fractured and had settled, exposing the bridge’s  reinforcement steel.
