About

Harbour of the Year

Until a decade ago, Ballen was home to a renowned merchant by the name of Henning. For more than 50 years, he managed a versatile grocery store and never failed to make his customers smile with one of his witty comments, one of which was the expression “Ballen, Lon­don, New York” that quickly became a figure of speech on the island. Although he is no longer with us, Ballen still sur­passes both London and New York, in the minds of people from Samsø.
