That second picture looks quite a bit older

(Based on the cars)

The #library is honestly impressive for a smaller town. A very elegant, light and spacious building. The inside colour scheme is very deliberate. Outside is nice as well.

It's one of the better libraries toddler and I have visited (and we have visited a great many of them the past years).

Probably won't see much of the former, though.

Maybe it's a first impressions thing. Arriving by train in Tinglev you are dropped right into the -veeeeery sleepy- centre of the village. There's also some friendly paths around town. And that's kinda nice.

In Padborg the arrival is all industrial and rather bleak.

My grandma lived in Padborg before she passed, I remember the local bookstore with fondness. I bought MTG cards there and also the old game 'Scorched Earth' on a floppy disk Apart from that we had lovely cream cakes when we visited, but I am pretty sure the baker doesn't exist anymore.

Tinglev always seemed less welcoming to me, more dead, but I never visited by train, so... I still come by there quite often (by car) going to a cottage my mum owns in the woods. There's shopping, which is nice, and 2 decent second hand stores.

We just visited Padborg. And seriously, unless you're living there: you don't have to.

Now in Tinglev. It's nice. Good library. Little pond with fishes. There's a bunch of not-that-old-yet-old trains parked on a siding.

Next is Rødekro

Guess who is not happy (it ain't the little hobbit).
