2 Travel adventures Denmark

To the Far North of Europe

1 juli 2017 -26 juli 2017 (26 days)

Around one o’clock we arrive in Sønderborg. It’s still raining. We drive on to the castle. Right in front of the entrance, there’s a free parking spot. We don’t see a payment machine anywhere. A bit incredulous, we ask at the ticket counter if we’re allowed to park there. No problem! Even if you stay the whole day. Sønderborg Castle dates back to the Middle Ages but was extensively expanded in the 16th century into a Renaissance castle. Highlights include the castle chapel and the grand knight’s hall. We walk through the rooms. The castle itself is beautiful, but the exhibition mainly focuses on Jutland. Various themes are spread across different rooms. On the bank of the Alssund River, we order lunch under a shelter.

City Trip Copenhagen

3-7 juli 2008 (5 days)

Via the Kastellet, I reach the bronze statue of the Little Mermaid. I had heard a lot about the famous statue beforehand—mainly that it’s very small. Maybe my expectations were low, but I’m pleasantly surprised. What isn’t as pleasant is the huge number of tourists around the statue. Everyone is trying to take a photo with the beauty, one by one. It’s quite entertaining to just sit back and watch the crowd for a while.
