Solvang is no longer just a Danish township like when it was first founded. It has mixed, Danish, German, and Bavarian ideals in its design and entertainment. It doesn't pretend to be an exact replica of any one place.

Why playing BAVARIAN music ?? It's a DANISH place !!

Denmark is a Scandinavian country (between NORTHERN Germany and Southern Sweden / Scania) !

Men filmen viser godt, hvad amerikanerne synes om Danmark og dansk kultur... Bayern, Danmark..ligeglad ...

Send me something Danish and I'll gladly add it. This was music I found in the production program I used to produce it. Sorry, one viewer thought it was Mexican, imagine that. Thanks for your comments. RD

that is not danish. you stupid americans have made an german town with windmills from holland. if youwant too see a danish town then search on Faaborg denmark

[Roy Delagarza]

We are not stupid Americans, just Americans, can you identify all of the different American styles of music, of course not, that doesn't make you stupid only educated in another culture. Thanks for your comments

Wow so many haters. You folks need to understand what a tourist trap is to appreciate it.

Believe it or not the town does have a fair number of Danes still living there. The place was a founded by Danes and a hefty population formed a normal town there.

Later on to capitalize on tourism they created the disneyesque interpretation of a old world danish village.

Thanks for your positive comments. I can't believe how ugly people can get about a beautiful tourist stop. Perfectly correct or not, it's a great place. You can learn alot about the different cultures represented there by talking to the great shop owners.

@caliguy92: Trusshouses and windmills are also characteristic for Denmark. There are copies of the Dybbøl mølle in Southern Jutland, of the Rundtårn in Copenhagen and a typical danish (and scanian) white church.
