A Trip to Northern Europe - Denmark

Trip, Northern Europe, Denmark

Denmark, surrounded by Germany, is a small country in the north. Denmark is a country with a long and interesting history, it is a kingdom that has been involved in many historical movements over the years. In addition, many kingdoms near Denmark have tried to invade the country. The other neighbor is Sweden, which is reminiscent of Denmark, for example with things like architecture and social behavior. Both countries are very proud of their traditions and their great courage to keep in touch with the old traditions.

The family situation is one of the most popular things among Danes and Swedes. But they like to keep it for special events that happen throughout the year. They can be family weekends or holidays where they have time to spend time together. Because the Danes are working hard, and in fact, it is a big part of daily life in Denmark to maintain an active lifestyle.

Danish lifestyle and architecture

When I visited Denmark in my vacations, I saw many interesting things and many ancient cities throughout the country, with a touch of romance. One thing I noticed most was the beautiful houses in the small towns around the islands. It's really easy to notice and everyone who has already been to Denmark will know what I mean. I traveled to Germany, and went on my bicycle in a small coastal town in the northeast of the little island called Fyn. When I arrived at Kerteminde, I felt very relieved, because I could really feel the sensation of being surrounded by water. The beach was with a long beach to the coast from one place to another. It was a summer vacation or rather a vacations for me, so I went swimming in the beautiful sea every day.

My first time in bed and breakfast

I slept in the Samlingsstuens bed and breakfast, which was located in the center of the small town. He had his house inside a protected building, in a courtyard called "Andreasens købmandsgaard". Here they had nice rooms with nice flowers on the table next to my bed, and a nice clean room, which I really enjoy.

My schedule told me to stay in Kerteminde only for a few days, but I ended up staying there for 5 days. I am a small individual nature itself, so I used most of the time walking along the beaches and the large forests that are found around the region.

The Vikings of Denmark

I also went to the Viking Museum, which was about 10 km from Samlingsstuen. There was a meeting of the modern Vikings, in progress. I learned a lot about Danish history and culture that day and even tried the real Viking food.

Basically, this place was a very tried place to go with the family, there was a lot to do and learn from the children. But even going on my own, it was really joy.

At the end

I want to share a word that I have met several times during my stay in Denmark. It is called "hygge" and is a unique description of, for example, a family conjunction or perhaps another way of saying "relax". The word is especially related to Denmark, and it describes very well how the Danes are.
