Fanø, Denmark!!

We spend a day exploring the chilly and windy Fanø, Denmark. We are rewarded by some wonderful beer at Fanø Bryghus - fanøbryghus.dk/. We wrap with a walk through the Christmas market in Esbjerg and dinner at the street food market - esbjergstreetf.... It was a nice relaxing day spent exploring!

Beer & Sultans of Swing .. doesn't get much better than that!

[@TravelinYoung]

And really good beer at that, the Julebryg was fantastic!

Every time I complain, or I hear someone else complaining, about the weather, I can hear my mom: _No such thing as wrong weather … only wrong clothing._ Fanø - at any time of year - is truly a beautiful place to visit.

[@TravelinYoung]

I agree, it was gorgeous regardless. I need to get some gloves that I can wear while still holding and operating the camera. When it is super cold and windy it becomes a challenge, which was the case right before we shot that part of the video :).

[@citizenVader]

@@TravelinYoung My old platoon leader used to address our servicemen, who never complained about the weather, with these wise words.. "Rain is just the sunshine, dressed in another manifestation, of our environment." Ergo it didn't matter what kind of weather we had. You simply did not question the man. Or you were force fed with a plethora of his other "logical" thoughts. But the dude was not wrong... It was actually a genius way to end the conversation, which did not evaporate the bad weather situation anyway, while you were complaining. The man simply managed his own way through his duties, as a kind of God among men. And he also were our superior officer.. that also helped a little to understand 😁

Nice to see that you have come down to Sønderho, I hope you can go there during the summer. Felt almost at home when I saw Sønderho mill. The third Sunday in July is Sønderhodagen and many people dress up in folk costumes, and they are many different costumes for different purposes. In the old days, women owned houses and men owned the boats. One of Denmark's first international beach hotels was located on Fanø, it is also said that Denmark's first golf course is located on Fanø. :)

Hello from a native Esbjerg dweller. Nice to see the city on display and represented i often feel like its not often people always come here. But happy to see it 😀and nice to see fanø too i went to the afterskole/efterskole there before they closed down and the building was taken over for another use.

[@ianmankersen]

My ancestors immigrated to the states from here. My whole family has always been drawn to the water. Bucket list destination.

[@davidpax]

Next summer you could go on a trip along the west coast of Jylland from Tønder to Hanstholm or even Skagen. The new Tirpitz bunker museum is great and in Hanstholm a train can get you into the bunkers. Kite festival on Fanø, sandsculptures at Søndervig, some places they still drag old fishing boats up on the beach. Old lighthouses and surfing at Cold Hawaii could be interesting too.

[@TravelinYoung]

We do need to visit the middle of the west coast for sure. We've been to Tønder a couple of times (to the music festival) and up to Skagen over this past summer, more to see though for sure!

[@mathiashollbaum6312]

@@TravelinYoung yeah, Skjern and Hvide Sande is awesome

[@MrLarsgren]

@@TravelinYoung the train that is referred to is the old ammunition train supplying the bunkers.

[@millerman7799]

Esbjerg once had a very bad rep as being the remote and stinky "Fishtown" of Denmark, because of the old days where it relied on a smelly fishing industry, but today, the city's industry relies mostly on offshore and green energy businesses. The west coast with Vesterhavet as it's backdrop, has this unique, almost "other-worldly" calming effect on both us danes and the tourists who visit the place, it's always very windy there :D Did you see the "Mennesket Ved Havet" sculptures in Esbjerg, or the Fiskeri- Og Søfartsmuseet? Worth a look when you're there :) I also recommend you visit Vejers Strand during the summer time, if you're near the area sometime, it's very cozy and Brisket would love it :D

[@Melvynnielsen]

If you ever get the chance, then you should take a look at langelandsfortet for some good history about ww2 and more. and if you're there for a weekend then take a look at Egeskov slot. theres alot of collection items, also of old cars! :)

[@Mads-h3l]

If you like the landscape, you could try a horseback ride. There are guided horse tours on Fanø. It is really nice and other animals do not get scared of the horses, so you will see animals too.

[@hmbp100]

cool new start.

[@lameduck3105]

3 B's?!?!? Well now they can add a fourth. Brisket visiting. Fanø is exceptional to visit in the summer. And all the locals there are so nice and know eachother. It's just a really cozy place.

[@Zandain]

Lovely way to have some 'hygge time' together ..but def go back in the summer. The Star Wars landscape comes to life! hello from Hundested 🌸❄

[@Nygaard2]

Brisket’s cosplay as a Minion is amazing!

[@TravelinYoung]

Well done!!

[@AbsSolut]

A walk at the windy beach,, better than summer,, with all the tourists imo.

[@erikrodnielsen1788]

I saw you went to Sønderho, but you should have paid Sønderho Kro a visit. I was living in Esbjerg for 5 years, and the yearly highlight was a dinner at Søndeho Kro. Incredible quality food and an ambience you don't find better.

[@keldpedersen5177]

Hi. next time come to Fanø in the summer :-) . and annonce some time before you go to a place, so we can come and say hello. great videos 👍👍❤❤

[@290766rene]

You should come back to Fanø in the summer. There is much more life on the island. Sønderho is a really nice town with lots of nice old houses, and there are good eating places, and a huge beach you can drive down to. 3rd Sunday in July there is Fanø day, where there is a party, and the residents are dressed in the local Fanø costumes, and they go up to the mill and dance local Sønderho dance. Nordby is also a cozy town with alleys and shops and restaurants. I have been there a lot because my girlfriend has family over there.

[@TravelinYoung]

Summer is the plan for sure :).

[@jonascasper]

So normally i dont comment on videos on KZbin, cause life to short for that ;) But some of my family is from Fanø and just had to say you came at the wrong time of the year! You have to go there when its summer! you wont regret it, go see some of the amber stores they got a lot of them ;) and yes it can be kind of windy.. but the beach when it summer have a lot of kites in there air so it only fun with som wind :D Well GL with your journey here in Denmark I will follow the channel and look forward to see what you guys have more to say about our ways of doing things different from the US and just exploring our land :D

[@TravelinYoung]

For sure, we plan to visit this summer. We were in Ribe and close by so we decided we'd take advantage of a few hours and try out the brewery :).

[@Elekristy]

Fanø has the best beach for skimsurfing. Every summer me and my girlfriend go to Fanø for the beach. While I use hours in the water skimsurfing shes laying on the beach taking a nap in the sun. Can definitely recommend Fanø during summer.

[@Valjean666dk]

Ah, if I knew you'd be in Esbjerg I'd have recommended stopping by Sand's Restauration to try what I consider traditional Danish food. Though I haven't been there in quite a while, so I don't know if it's still as good as I remember. Just the starter tartellet you can get, is enough to make you somewhat full. And then there're big main dishes, that at least us Danes struggle to finish.

[@JT9000000DK]

OK guys, you can do that better. Just give a shout, the next time you’re visiting Fanø and Esbjerg, and I will give you some quick pointers. There are so much more exciting things to see 😉 Note: I would recommend for you to come and attend the tall ships race 2022 in Esbjerg.

[@JunkerOnDrums]

Rember to visit Fanø in the summer also :D

[@TurboCharlie84]

Nice to see you guys visiting my hometown, where I live, what do you guys think about Esbjerg? 😃

[@TravelinYoung]

It was nice, but we were barely there. We will come back for a real visit in the future :).

[@bobblues1158]

There are bunkers in Copenhagen that are fixed up and used by musicians as rehearsal spaces.

[@christinapoulsen4420]

Fanø julebryg is my favorite Christmas beer 🍺

[@TravelinYoung]

I really liked it a lot, so good!

[@maltelavendt1776]

Welcome to the west coast did you use a UV flashlight in some of the bunkers if not try it next time.

[@TravelinYoung]

Thanks! I didn't know what to expect and didn't bring a light. I definitely will next time as we are planning to return to that area over the summer.

Fanø is an amazing little isle, i've ever only gone doing the summer though :P

[@peterlarsen7779]

I wish I knew you would be here, then we could have had a pow-wow over a coffee or a hot cocoa! I was disappointed that there wasn't anything from the Christmas market up on the square 😞😞 I wanted to share the clip with my girlfriend....

[@grethejohansen6989]

Would love to show you, the secret places in Odsherred. Denmark's largest holiday home area. But also a fantastic landscape. Located only 1 hour and 20 min drive. From KBH.

Bryghus udtales mere i retning af brykhus. Og med en lille pause mellem stavelserne: Bryk-hus.

[@jenspn00]

You didn't meet the brewer Steve Rold when you visited Fanø Bryghus? He is from Elkhorn, Iowa and have danish ancestors.

[@citizenVader]

Absolutely a little spot of Scandinavian eden.. the family has a holiday home on Fanø.. but it's been a long time since I was down there to stay for a while. Did you go to the beach and collect some amber? The geographic placement is significant, and that makes it easier to find amber there.. I even have a the set I inherited from the local ceramics makers on the island.. it's a very different place from the rest of Denmark..

[@TravelinYoung]

It is for sure special! We decided we'd go back in the summertime and explore a bit more. We didn't make it to the beach this trip, just saw from a distance.

[@LaustChristensen]

If I'm not mistaken then "Evil Twin" is the name of a brewery which used to be Danish but is now American as the brewer moved to The US (New York). Fun fact: THe brewer (Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø) is the twin brother of MIkkel Borg Bjergsø of Mikkeller fame (or infamy if you look at the recent #Metoo debacle in the brewing world). Evil Twin is known for making great stouts (among other things) :)

[@lailavestergaard2429]

If you'r comming back to Vestjylland you shoud visit the museum Tirpitz it is designed by the famous arkitekt Bjarke Ingells and it is lokatet in Blåvand and it is About 2. World war it is very well visitet and espeselig by tyskere.

Consistent rumours on the internet reveal that Miranda and Josh rocked out repeatedly to Whams "Last Christmas" while travelling to and from Fanø. Apparently Josh finds it particular calming when driving over the devil bridge! Clearly they are big Wham fans.

[@RoarMohammedJohansen]

I think you should go to Fanø in the summertime, I have never bin there myself but it has a really good reputation according to my colleagues. Actually I have a colleague who says, "Fanø is good against stress", and she claims she has to favorit places to go on vaccation, one is Morocco, at the other place is Fanø :)

[@TravelinYoung]

Summer is definitely the plan! But we for sure wanted to take advantage of being so close despite the weather :).

Yes I saw, I haven't had a chance to respond yet. But for you to know, this trip to Fanø was a couple weeks ago prior to you sending the message. Thanks for the offer, we will see how things are concerning when we can get back again. :)
