has been a great need to show off power in the two towns and that they have been important
political standpoints for the monarchy, church, and the Hanseatic league. However, the
importance of the two towns cannot be read only by studying the landscape. It must be done
in coherence with the activities that have been conducted at the sites. Only then can the
importance that the people of the past gave to the towns be seen. The signs that are still left
today are the two town churches, the two ruins of the fortresses, the hill that the beacon stood
on and holes after fish stalls. (Less)
