Hankø bad og kystsanatorium ble anlagt i 1877. Det fikk etterhvert mange besøkende. Allerede sommeren 1882 var det 300 mennesker som hadde oppholdt seg på Hankø Bad en eller flere uker for bade i gjørme og rent sjøvann. Rekorden ble satt i 1889 da det i ble notert 700 gjester med 12000 liggedøgn.
Avkledningshuset på Trouville blir første gang nevnt når badet blir solgt i 1895. Her var det bading for damer før 12, og herre etter 12. Da vår bestemor badet her i 1920 årene kostet det 10 øre å benytte anlegget.
Det finnes ingen kilder som forklarer hvorfor badeplassen fikk navnet Trouville. Men det er mye som tyder på at Hankø ikke ville ligge tilbake for kontinentale badesteder. I 1880 var Trouville på kysten av Normandie allerede et velkjent kur- og badsted.
Hankø is an island. Park by ferry. 20 kr. day on asphalt in the parking. Cheaper on the grass. Ferry over to the Hot Bath (Hankø tavern). Ferry: 25 kr for adults one way. Follow the path up to and pass the hotel, pass all the tennis courts. Keep right to Trouville. Where the road ends, look the woody hillside to the left.
The cache is an ice box. Content suitable for those who will have an improvised picnic: two plastic spoons, 2 plastic knives, two forks, 4 figures
pen and paper.
Hankø bath- and coastal sanatorium was built in 1877. It subsequently had many visitors. Already in the summer of 1882 there were 300 people who had stayed on Hankø Bad one or more weeks of bathing in mud and seawater. The record was set in 1889 when it was listed 700 people with 12,000 nights at Hanko.
Dressinghouse at Trouville is first mentioned when the bath is being sold in 1895. There were swimming for ladies before 12, and men after 12 When our grandmother bathed here in 1920 years it cost 10 cents to use the facility.
There are no sources that explain why the bathing place was called Trouville. But we w ill suggest that the owners of Hankø did not wanted to be back for continental beaches. In 1880, the Trouville on the coast of Normandy is already a well known cure-and badsted.
