Tommerup Stationsby
Tommerup Stationsby is a town on the island of Funen, Denmark with a population of 2,480 (January 2020).[1]
Most villagers work in the more urbanised areas, but cattle are also kept and Tommerup is home to a stone factory. Because of clay shortages, this factory is mainly used for special ceramic products, such as a vase, five metres high, which was exhibited at the World's Fair in Sevilla, in 1992.
In 1996, Tommerup Stationsby declared itself Cultural Village of Europe.[2] In 1999, it became part of the European network of villages known as Cultural Villages of Europe.
There is a train station in Tommerup, run by DSB, with departures once an hour for Fredericia, where you can continue to cities such as Aalborg and Aarhus.
There is also a departure every hour the other way to the third biggest city in Denmark, Odense, where there are departures for the capital, Copenhagen.
