Joboland

Brandesgårdshaven, also known as Joboland, is an amusement park with gardens, a zoo and a playground located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Svaneke on the Danish island of Bornholm.

In 1904, Emil Ipsen (1882-1961), who kept up with the times, modernized the farm, cultivated plants on the banks of the stream known as Vaseåen and in 1910 dammed it up, providing the means of generating electricity for himself and his neighbours.

[2] In 1972, the third generation of Ipsens, Lillian and Hans Emil, continued the park's operations, bringing in new attractions but keeping the old hand-operated roundabout and the rowing boats.

Finally, they developed a 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft) waterland with slides, a crazy river and a special section for children, so succeeding in maintaining interest.

[2] Today Joboland has a huge heated watersports area, a variety of animals including monkeys, lamas, oxen, coatis, goats and rabbits, as well as petrol buggies for adults and electric cars for children.
