二、自然地理
The current municipality of Varde was formed in 2007, following structural reforms in Denmark, which meant that the old municipality of Varde was merged with the municipalities of Blaabjerg, Blåvandshuk, Helle and Ølgod.
Varde is the main town in the municipality of Varde. Varde stretches from Ansager in the east to Blåvands Huk in the west and from Skallingen in the south to Nymindegab/Ølgod in the north. A variety of different types of landscape types are thus at home in Varde, partly due to the size of the municipality.
Varde is a Danish city in southwestern Jutland and is the primary city in the municipality of Varde, in Region of Southern Denmark. In 2015 municipality changed its motto to "We in nature" to emphasize its rural atmosphere. The town has an old market environment and is located by Varde stream/river and is a short distance away from the beaches by the North Sea. These features make it a popular tourist destination.
Following the vision/motto "We in nature" the eyes have again been opened to the possibilities in the diverseness and the unspoiledness of Varde nature. This has opened for investments to make the nature accessible to visitors, both permanent residents and vacationers.
At the municipality of Varde "Wadden Sea National park," which in June 2014, together with areas of the Wadden Sea in Germany and the Netherlands, was declared world heritage by UNESCO, meets "Naturpark Vesterhavet," which stretches across an area of 22.500 hectares between Blåvands Huk and Nymindegab. The parks along the western shores of Varde offer an array of different types of landscapes e.g. dune landscapes, heath, dune plantations, coastal lakes, and for the wadden sea, vast areas of mud flats, where the guest can experience the exposed seabed.
Where national park meets nature park you can also experience the western tip of Denmark, adorned by the lighthouse of Blåvand, with the purpose of guiding ships past Horns Rev, where the sandbank(s) stretch far out into the ocean. If you peer across the ocean from the lighthouse you can often see the wind farms of Horns Rev.
Sizeable areas along the coast of Varde are laid out as training areas for the Danish military, but as long as the red signal has not been hoisted, it is accessible to visitors of all types. There are 3 military barracks in the municipality of Varde which can be found in Varde, Oksbøl and Nymindegab. The barracks of Nymindegab look differently from other Danish barracks in general, as it was built in 1941 by the German Wehrmacht as a school for anti-aircraft personnel. The barracks were meant to look like a small village, in order not to be bombed by the allied or British bombers, which it never was.
Just near the barracks of Nymindegab lay the Atlantic Wall, stretching from Nordkap in Norway to the Pyrenees by the Spanish border. Because of this bunkers lay along the coast as a constant reminder of WW2. Among these the Tirpitz-position, which was being built (but never finished) in order to protect the port of Esbjerg.
Following the Second World War it was necessary to demine the westcoast of Jutland, as the Wehrmacht had mined the coast to stop allied forces from attacking. The demining of the Danish Westcoast was in 2015 problematized in the Danish movie "Land of Mine, in which the conditions for the German soldiers, who demined the Danish westcoast following WW2 were described. More German soldiers died in Denmark demining the beaches following WW2, than during the invasion and the occupation of Denmark from 1940-45.
Transport
Most traffic from and to Varde goes via primary route 11, which starts in Tønder goes via Varde all the way to Aalborg in northern Jutland. Primary route 11 crosses the E20 (the Esbjerg highway) near Korskro, from where there is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to Varde via primary route 11.
It is possible to reach Varde via Esbjerg or Skjern. Apart from that the "Vestbanen" connects Varde with Oksbøl in the western and Nørre Nebel in the north-western part of the municipality.
In recent years the municipality of Varde has widened/expanded its net of bicycle roads significantly, in large degree through the goodwill of citizens and landowners, whereby the municipality has been able to build 20 kilometres (12 mi) of bicycle road between Varde and Nørre Nebel and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) between Varde and Næsbjerg. This means that you´re now able to reach almost all corners of Varde by bike as there was already about 25 kilometres (16 mi) of bicycle road between Varde and Blåvand via Oksbøl and approximately 20 km of bicycle road between Varde and Esbjerg.

五、风景名胜，景点
The Lighthouse at Blåvandshuk
Address: Blåvandshuk Fyr, Fyrvej 106, 6857 Blåvand
At the most western point in Denmark stands the lighthouse at Blåvandshuk. From the lighthouse and the surrounding dunes there is a fantastic view at the North Sea.
Blåvandshuk is the most western point in Denmark and the whole area has to a large extent been formed by the forces of the North Sea.
The 128 feet tall lighthouse warns the ships about the submerged reef Horns Rev, which stretches 25 miles out into the sea. These waters used to be feared by sailors because of the numerous shipwrecks that took place here before the existence of the lighthouse in 1900.
The panoramic view from the 128 feet tall tower is accessible after 170 steps. When the weather is clear it is possible to see all the way out to the offshore wind parks, respectively nine and nineteen miles from the coast.
The Lighthouse at Blåvandshuk is a landmark for the local community and has been declared a protected building. The light from the lighthouse can be seen 26 miles away and is still being used to warn sailors of the dangerous Horns Rev. The former home of the lighthouse keeper next to the lighthouse has now been transformed into an information stand for tourists. It also contains an exhibit from 2016 about Horns Rev.
vARTe Gallery
Address: Kunsthal vARTe, Smedegade 35, 6800 Varde
Kunsthal vARTe is an art gallery in the city of Varde with both exhibitions and an inspiring artistic atmosphere.
Kunsthal vARTe opened the doors in 2015 and is a place where artists can be both inspired and allowed to work with their art in a beautiful setting. The gallery is placed in a former factory building from the 1800’s, right in the middle of Varde. A lot of the features from the old buildings have been preserved during the restoration. The paving stone in the little yard are imported from Copenhagen where they used to encircle the old Opera House. The lamps on the first floor have also been transported from Copenhagen where they used to light up the capital’s streets and boulevards.
The building serves as a gallery, an open atelier and a residence for artists who thereby get the opportunity to make a creative space for themselves by living, working and exhibiting in the gallery. The gallery is also a community centre with events, concerts and lectures.
Kunsthal vARTe is located in an old factory building from the 1800’s in the centre of Varde.
The Garden of Tambour
Address: Tambours Have, Bredmosevej 21, 6800 Varde
The Garden of Tambour is the result of Gerhard Tambour’s love of nature and his passion for collecting plants from all corners of the world to see them grow in his own garden.
In the year prior to the beginning of World War II, the tailor Gerhard Tambour bought a piece of land at Karlsgårde Sø. At first, it was merely a garden of fruits and vegetables but it was later replaced with flowers and trees. The first seed germinated in 1939 and since that the garden has developed into a park with plants and flowers in a class of its own. Through the years, Tambour purchased additional pieces of land and expanded the park with a Japanese themed garden as well as a garden of healing, which became his last act before his death in 1978.
In 1979 the garden was entrusted with the local municipality of the time and today it is owned by Varde Municipality. The garden is tended to by a staff of volunteers and is visited by thousands of eople each year. Even the Queen of Denmark has recently paid the garden a visit and enjoyed its luxuriant diversity of plants.
The Garden of Tambour covers 270.000 square feet of land. The park is divided into five different gardens: Lillehaven (The Small Garden), Langhaven (The Long Garden), Storhaven (The Big Garden), Japanhaven (The Japanese Garden) and Medicinhaven (The Garden of Healing). An orangery is expected to be added to the garden in 2017.
六、历史文化
Early on the name of Varde is presented in 2 different versions "Warwath" and "Warwik." War is identical in both and is believed to mean grassland, maybe beach or in other ways uncultivated area. The suffixes "wath" and "wick" are believed to mean respectively ford and inlet. The differing versions of the name occur quite naturally, depending on where you are located "on ground" or "on water". As with other older Danish towns, Varde is located, where the countryside in different ways favors human settlement and other human activity. The town was founded near a stream allowing a convenient port for ships near a place, where north and south bound traffic by land had an important ford/crossing, which was later replaced with a bridge.Varde was from olden times protected against sudden attacks from outsiders, partly because of its distance from the shore and partly because of its neighbourship with the built royal castle/fortress/fort/estate (Vardehus). Vardehus was the administrative center of the district and from this base of power a royal official governed the shire of Varde a sizeable area corresponding to the former Ribe Amt. On the greater scale Varde has never been a big town, but the fact that Varde already in the early Middle Ages had 2 churches, means that it had some status.
Written sources from the 12th century repeatedly mention the royal official/caretaker in Varde. In his capacity of being the representative of the king in the shire of Varde, this high level official must have resided in the local royal estate/castle – Vardehus. The oldest castle lay to the vest of the town, by the stream/river of Varde.
Around the beginning of the 14th century Vardehus was moved to an islet in the stream/river near the southern edge of the town. During an uprising in 1439 this new Vardehus II was stormed, pillaged and destroyed by rebel farmers. Later that same year the council of the state retaliated by burning down the town of Varde. Lesser excavations have been made on both sites, and the findings are kept in Varde museum. It is also known, that during the Viking ages there was a camp near the school of Sct. Jacob.
The borough sigil of Varde is the oldest town arms in Denmark. It depicts a blue shield with a walking golden leopard with a red tongue. It looks somewhat like a lion, but golden leopard is the official denomination.
From the beginning, commerce together with arts and crafts have been closely linked to being a town and when Christopher of Bavaria in August 1442 awarded Varde its first borough/market town privileges, it had already functioned as a borough/market town for a long time. Most importantly this meant, that peasants trading goods in country stores was outlawed, but at the same time, that the merchants of the town were now officially recognized as having exclusive rights to conducting trade in the town. Although the royal letter of privilege from 1442 has been long lost, the text is known from a transcript from 1648.
