A TOUR im DENMARK, by PROFESSOR 
OLIVARIUS, of KIEL 77 HOLSTEIN. 
(From Le Nord Literaire, &c.) 
HIS Tour was performed by M. 
Kuttner, whofe Letters upon Iceland 
are in high eftimation, and who has 
lately publithed a Tour in Germany, 
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and a part 
of Italy, made in the year 1797, ani 
publifhed in the German language in 
1801. This enlightened and judicious 
traveller, according to profeffor Olivarius, 
feems never to lofe England out of fight, 
which he knows almoft as well as his 
native country, Germany ; and to which, 
fays the profeflor, he appeais to refer 
every thing, as to a fort of ftandard; 
but, he adds, ‘‘'we fhall, agreeably to 
our plan, fometimes take the liberty to 
rectify our guide, and almoft every 
where intermingle our own reflections 
with his.” 
The author, on his arrival at Kiel, 
proceeds to vilit the famous canal, which 
unites the Baltic and the North Sea, and 
which becomes more and more frequented 
every day; and will be more efpecially 
This 
canal communicates immediately with 
the Baltic on the Eaft fide, and with the 
Eyder, on the Welt fide, by means of 
fix fluices: of equal magnitude. Our 
traveller infpeéted the fluice of Knop, 
and expreiles his doubts whether he has 
feen any thing in England, or even in 
Holland, more handfome, more commo- 
dious, and better conitructed than this 
fluice. He fawa large veflel pafs through, 
the expediting of which was performed 
with equal eafe and celerity; and it only 
tock wip about half an hour to work the 
veffel into the lower part of the canal. 
It is this canal with the Eyder, which 
feparates Slefwick, a Danifh duchy, from 
Holfein, a duchy of the Empire, as is 
indicated by an infcription to be read on 
that gate of the town of Rendfburg, by 
which we quit the limits of the Empire:

4B Tour in Denmark.

On the way to Knop, we difcover the 
Chateau of the Count de Baudfin, fitu- 
ated on the banks of the canal, decorated 
with a fine garden, part of which is in 
the Englith ftyle, and furrounded by a 
vat park. This flructure, is, unquel- 
tionably, one of the moft magnificent 
poffefled by any lord in the ftates of 
Denmark ; the architecture is in a good 
fiyle. 
<‘T cannot difcover the caufe,” {ays 
M. Kuttner, ‘¢ whence proceeds that 
fmiling and agreeable air which the envi- 
rons of this fluice of Knop, diffufe; but 
its refrething afpeét, the elegance of its 
conftruétion, the care, the extream neat- 
nefs with which the bufinefs of it is con- 
ducted, all this joined to the beauty of 
the circumjacent places, which, doubt» 
lefs, contribute fomething to the general 
effect, throw into the land{cape at large 
an inexpreflible chafm. In other refpects 
the canal has nothing very extraordinary 
in itfelf; and the way, or paths that bor- 
der upon it, are not to be compared with 
thofe of the fame kind that I have feen 
in England.” 
It muft, however, be confeffed, that it 
would be dificult to find, any where, 4 
more diveriified and more agreeable pro- 
menade than that which ftretches along 
the canal from Enop, to its efflux into 
the Baltic, for the fpace of about a fmall 
league: feayand rivers, barks and veffels, 
woods and meadows, corn-fields, and gar- 
dens, a chateau, magazines, cottages, 
&c. &c. forma complete aflemblage, to 
charm tite perfpeftive, and to feait the 
eyes. 
Eckenforde is the fir town of Slefwick 
that we meet with, after quitting the Em, 
pire on the fide of Kiel, from which it - 
is dittant about three miles and a quarter. 
The coup da’ ceil which this little town pre- 
fenfs to the. traveller, who, at the extre- 
mity of a large and fine forett, from the 
height of a mountain, difcovers, all at 
once, its walls wathed by the waters of 
the fea, is truly ftriking. Its commerce 
dees not anfwer to the beauty of its 
fituation; it ts inconfiderable; vefiels of 
a ceriain fize are notwithftanding built 
here, but it is moftly to fell them in 
other ports, where they are fometimes 
employed in the navigation of the An- 
tilles. | 
The fecond town of the Duchy, about 
three miles and a quarter from the for. 
mir, is the capital of it, and bears its 
name, Slef{wick is a very agreeable city, 
and of fuch a conftruction as the author 
has feldom feen elfewhere. One mighe
