Middelfart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Middelfart is a city in central Denmark, located in Middelfart municipality on the island of Funen (Danish: Fyn), with a population of 13.330 (2003).
Near it are two big bridges over the Little Belt sea strait. Middelfart is serviced by the passenger rail service between Copenhagen and Jutland.
Visitors to Middelfart should visit the Cultural Center on the shore front, the shorefront itself, and the downtown walking area. The Cultural Center (Kulturøen; literally, The Culture Island), contains the town library, a cinema, a restaurant, a café and the tourist office.
The name Middelfart might sound a little funny in English, but directly translated from Danish it means passage in the middle and refers to one of the three ferry links formerly connecting the island with the peninsula of Jutland.
Middelfart was founded around 1200 A.D. The town was originally named Melfar.
