When I heard that we are going to Dybbol, to be honest I had no idea where this small town is situated..:) But because I have always been attracted to small towns more than big cities, I was really curious what surprise is waiting for us there! And it was SURPRISE!! I must say that it was the best museum of history I have ever visited in my whole life. As I said before, if the history was taught at schools in this way, I would love history!:-) Unfortunately my memories on our grammar history lessons with our retired teacher are like this: sleepiness, sending messages on small pieces of papers with my classmates and just doing stuff like in this way:-) so the consequences? I had very bad knowledge of history, because it was just extremely boring for me, learning millions of facts by heart,..the situation changed at my university, because we had for a change brilliant history teachers, so I was trying to do my best for the exams, but it was very hard with such an insufficient knowledge I had from grammar school, but anyway the situation was getting better:-) Ok, I have digressed a little to explain the situation so far, so let me now recap how does it work in Dybbol:
One guide for several hours
Several short movies about the most important battle in the Danish-German war of 1864
Imitations of the war places even of houses and soldiers
You can try lots of things there-lying in soldiers´ sleeping places, cooking pancakes right according to soldiers´ way, making a bullet from tin and keep it:-)
Considerable involving the visitors into the narrating, not only listening to sb. lecture! Reading from one soldier’s diary!
Thank you for this great experience!
