Denmark: beautiful country


We are now in the Kingdom of Denmark. I am a bit sad because our journey is almost coming to an end.

I have to say that Denmark is a very beautiful country. Wherever you are, the coastline is not far from you. Denmark consists of more than 400 islands and also the Faroes and Greenland. Only 72 of those islands are inhabited.
Bridges connect the larger islands to each other and you can reach the smaller islands by ferry or small aircrafts.
The coastlines of Denmark are absolutely wonderful. I love to stroll on the beaches and watch the high cliffs.
Because we are in the northern of Europe, temperatures are not very high.
The nature in Denmark is fascinating. There are three national parks in the country and if you are up for an adventure, you can go camping in the wild. You can still see the untouched forests and some rare animal species.
If you love cycling, Denmark is the best place to go. You will find more than 12,000km cycle-routes.

The famous statue in Denmark is The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. The statue is based on the fairytale of the little mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. In spite of the popularity of the tourists, the statue is mostly the target of protests and vandalism.

Grundtvig’s Church is one of the weirdest churches I have ever seen in my life. The church is located in Copenhagen and is a rare example of the expressionism. When I first saw this, I did not realise it was a church!



Not far from the German border, you can find some reconstructed Viking houses and when you have a closer look, they seem very small.

We are now going to the last country of our travelling route. I am looking forward to going to Norway.
