Wild Denmark is the Next Big Thing in Europe

Most people visit Copenhagen and I would say you should, but also travel around North Jutland. If you love nature, food, history and going off the beaten track, you've got to check this place out!
I share more than my experience, I also give you ideas for other places in the area. It would be a perfect place for van life, surfing and cycling!

As a dane I love to see videos from Denmark that are not from Nyhavn, København, with ridiculously expensive modern smørrebrød. Because Denmark is so much more. The travelling dune, Grenen at Skagen with the two oceans meeting, the lighthouse at Rugbjerg Knude. All in the northern part of Jylland/Jutland. City of Aarhus, especially the three museums ARoS, Den Gamle By/The Old Town and Moesgaard. The entire coastline of jutland to the West, the beautiful islands in the southern part of Denmark. So much to see outside Copenhagen.

[@AstaGruwier-vi5ht]

I totally forgot about Den gamle by! Would totally recommend visiting there

[@ane-louisestampe7939]

@@AstaGruwier-vi5ht NOT from Nyhavn. I hear you girl! Anything else, but not them silly houses AGAIN - after all, most of us still do NOT live in Nyhavn Øh, does anybody live in Nyhavn? I don't know, but having live in CPH, I know: It's THE place in Copenhagen, where you'll NEVER ever meet a Copenhagener 😆

[@grop66]

So true 👍🏻 here from Esbjerg

[@NatashaBergen]

YES 🤩 It is so much more than those tiny parts! Such an amazing country (even though I've only seen a tiiiiny bit 😁 Thank you for the suggestions for next time ;)

[@veronicajensen7690]

yes people still live in Nyhavn- Lars Løkke lived there when he was PM but agree as someone from Copenhagen , there are much to see outside Copenhagen both in Jutland and on the islands -even in Copenhagen there are more interesting tings than Nyhavn if people just go into the small streets insteador take a train 25 min. out of Copenhagen@@ane-louisestampe7939

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Actually Carlsberg is the second, or third largest Brewery Group in the World! And the reason why you are able to buy a "decent beer", as the Yeast used for Brewing became cleaned and - Patented for Industrial/common Use in The Carlsberg Laboratories in Copenhagen!! It then became "Donated to the World" for all Brewers to use and it is still named "Carlsbergensis"!!!

[@NatashaBergen]

Wow! Super interesting and didn't know this either ;) thanks for sharing! I wanted to visit the Carlsberg brewery but couldn't as it was closed - so I guess I'll have to go back eh? 🤣

[@kirankilgannon8987]

Lovely country worked there in the 90s great people

[@rickybuhl3176]

Perfect example of "do less to enjoy more". Too often we get caught up in itineraries that have us constantly looking to the next thing, instead of enjoying the current.

[@NatashaBergen]

Best way to put it 🙌

[@Maltechr]

I loved this. I live in Aalborg, but I'm from Sæby, midway between Aalborg and Skagen. So it was really fun seeing you experience the places I call home.. Now having watched some more of your vids, do me a favor.. If you come back to Scandinavia, go visit Bornholm.. Its a Danish island of the coast southern coast of Sweden. It has the most amazing nature Denmark has to offer outside Greenland and the Faroe islands.. Its incredibly beautiful and a very unique culture.. I think you would absolutly LOVE it!

[@michael7054]

Great video! Nice scenery! Interesting country! I enjoyed watching!

You’re GLOWING on the beach ❤

🥹 Awe thanks Hannah

[@troelspeterroland6998]

"When you think of Denmark, you probably don't think of sand dunes and beaches". It is so interesting to hear this angle. To a Dane it is mindblowing to hear. Something tells me that Denmark needs to market itself much more on this front. Except for the Germans, the Dutch, the Swedes and the Norwegians nobody seems to be aware that we are the number one beach destination in northern Europe. Sand beaches is literally all we have along our coasts, since the Danish geology is so sedimentary. We have 60.000.000 overnight stays at Danish beaches a year. But I have talked to people from places as close as Czechia and Austria who had absolutely no idea. Something must be done (this is probably the reason why I write it here 🙂).

[@tomashlavacek8355]

Denmark is a best country for living.

[@peterpearson1675]

Nice to see another anglo-saxon (?) who is wild with Denmark.I'm English and have been living in Denmark for over 50 years.Just love the place! The country,the people,culture,history,the whole bag of tricks.

[@henningrasmussen8225]

well your ancestors were danish

[@peterpearson1675]

More than you realize.They came over here from Als in the 12th century.@@henningrasmussen8225

[@peterpearson1675]

When I say over here I mean northern England of course.Most local place names are pure Danish,and my grandad who was born and bred in Doncaster spoke a form of Danish dialect.

[@phero2]

Your enthusiasm is infectious, stay safe and beautiful.

[@duckmcduck007]

If you ever come back to Skagen, the sandy church is only a 10-minute bike ride from town, and bike rental is available cheaply right next to the train station. Also, if you walk all the way to the top of Jutland (just a little further out), you'll notice the two oceans, The North Sea and Kattegat, clashing together. Another cool place worth visiting if you're up there is Råbjerg Mile, albeit a little harder to reach by public transport.

[@NatashaBergen]

Thanks for the tips! It sounds like another trip back is a must 😁

[@spyro257]

as a Dane that was born in Skagen, i love to see "outsiders" visit, making vlogs or the like about it... i dont live there any more, but it's nice to see it through others eyes...

[@NatashaBergen]

Cool that you were born there, and intriguing that life has brought you somewhere else 😁 I bet you've got an interesting story 😊 Hopefully I could do your hometown justice!

[@gozamite]

That north point is pretty awesome place. Especially in the summer on a warm sunny day!

[@NatashaBergen]

Yeeeeessss magical!!!

I’d happily live in a lighthouse, Natasha. If you’re in Scotland next, then you’re getting closer to my part of the world- if you’re coming down to south west England anytime hit me up for a cream tea! Happy trails x

[@NatashaBergen]

Really?! That's so cool! I have to recommend Ryan Trahan's video on living in the loneliest lighthouse! Great sense of humour and nice vid 😊 I would love a tea hangout in England! I'll be there next year, would be cool to meet!

[@SharmanSomerset]

[@karpov7233]

Indeed Skagen is famous for the light, attracting all the artists. Wish to go there too! About the grave, cremation is a sign that the deceased belonged to the old beliefs

[@NatashaBergen]

Nice, another one added to the list?! Interesting fact on the cremation! I didn't know 😁

[@thomasklausen4596]

I was just about to add that - good eye, spotting the quality of the light. Lindholm Høje is right next to a military exercise area and firing range. I was there once and at first felt that the noise was unbecoming - then I realized that these were VIKING graves. Spending eternity next to where young men train to become warriors? Couldn't be more in the Viking spirit.

Well I guess I'll be going to Skagen sometime in fall then! Thank you for giving me travel destinations in my own country

[@NatashaBergen]

Ooooo! Exciting! I hope you enjoy and SO cool it's in your 'backyard'! If you go to Thy National park, let me know if you liked it so I can see for next time 🤩

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! Its so nice to see what looks like the good parts of fall before the darkness takes over and the sun just about completely goes away and leaves a gray gloomy mess until spring 2024 arrives! That beach looked nice but also felt cold!

[@NatashaBergen]

Oh yes this weird time of year now... trying to embrace the cold and the snow this year so let's see 🤞 hope you can ward off the glommy days Sina 😁

[@ane-louisestampe7939]

There aren't many places that gives you the possebility of having your legs in different seas! But at Grenen, North of Skagen you can stand perfectly natural, with one leg in Kattegat and the other leg in Skagerak. And if you can't feel the difference, trust me, you can TASTE the diffenrence between the salty North Sea and the "brak water" from the Baltic! Peace and love

[@NatashaBergen]

Amazing! I love the way you describe it and now I'm curious of these tastes and differences! Thanks for sharing 😊

You didnn't go all the way to "Grenen"? The only place you can stand in 2 different oceans at once ;).

I didn’t haha 😂 yeah it’s silly but I didn’t want to miss the next train 😜

[@Mike-zx1kx]

The sand beach you are at, are the longest sand beach on the entire European continent. Goes from top of Skagen almost all the way to the German border where the Unesco world heritage "vadehavet" meets it. A lowwater sandy area with (dangerous if you are not careful when they come) tides, that have a unique aquatic wildlife and are home and resting stop for millions of different migration birds. At certain times a year you can find thousand upon thousand of starlings performing their "before go to bed" ritual called dark sun, because they act in unique patterns in the sky almost blacking the sky, with their dance in the sky, that truly are a sight to behold.

[@NatashaBergen]

Wow the way described that is magical! Thank you for sharing 😄 I learned something cool!

[@tarusina]

i love Skagen!

[@fearius]

Skagen is still a thriving fishing town, I'm not sure which university it is, but my dad is apart of a study on the bluefish tuna that migrate past skagen. They fish em up, tag them and observe long term migration patterns, and god knows what else.

[@NatashaBergen]

Oooo that's cool! Very interesting work 😯

[@NatashaBergen]

YES! Omg and it would be even better if I could travel with you haha 😝

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

I'm glad that more and more people want to travel to Denmark, but I'm also sad that most never get to see anything else than Copenhagen. Don't get me wrong, I love Copenhagen, but when I think of Denmark I think of nature, rolling hills, beaches, fishing ports, and the sea, as much as our coloured brick stone buildings. So thank you for showing everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 4:09 People probably tell you things because you're a lone traveler, and your natural curiosity makes you look approachable, whereas others are drowning in their mobile phones as soon as they sit down. It happens to me as well, I think because people are looking for eye contact and someone who doesn't look scary lol Scandinavians aren't cold people, we're just reserved people - something we share with Japanese culture - but as soon as you ask us a question we're more than happy to help. I guess you can compare Danes to Hobbits in many ways, we seem distant when you travel through, but if you get inside the inner circle we're the exact opposite. It was also a culture shock for me to visit America, because it felt like people were almost overly friendly, when I really just wanted to find my own way or eat my food in peace lol

[@NatashaBergen]

You have no idea how much it means to me that you enjoyed this vid and more so for the reasons you shared! Denmark has SO much to offer! Thank you for sharing you perspective, I never quite thought of it the way you put it. It makes sense though and this is probably why I feel so at home when I’m in Scandinavia countries - I like doing my own thing too so completely get that 😁 Loved this input 🙌

[@bjornbear6856]

FOOOOOOD!!!! Can you PLIZ get a little closer next time so I can really see your food!!! 😋😋 That looked delicious!!! I've been to the same place, Skagen. Wonderful place and, like you said, the light! Did you go to the desert too? Denmark has a desert! (almost wrote dessert 😂😂🤣🤣) Oh I gotta go eat something now. My belly's talking to me... Loved the video!!!! Be safe

[@bodan1196]

There was a group of painters active at the end of the 1800:s, that is known as the _Skagen Painters_ . Their paintings somehow manage to capture the light that you mention. Beatiful paintings. Look them up on Wikipedia.

[@NatashaBergen]

Omg of course you almost said dessert! Haha! 😆 You know the funny thing? I did attempt to go to the desert on this same day but it was a catastrophe and didn't make the video 🤣 I will definitely go next time though especially if you recommend!

[@KamillaMirabelle]

We are not cold or closed of, just reserved 😅 we will almost alway help anybody if asked, but we will on the other hand besrly never start a conversation unless we see a purpose with it..

So.. the last time Romania had a king was in 1947. So the busker would have to be around 90 years old to have worked for him.

[@mortenchristiansen4331]

Not necessarily. Depends on how you define king. The last romanian king Michael died as soon as december 2017.

[@Kilithaza]

@@mortenchristiansen4331 He wasnt a king for 70 years. Pretty sure that doesnt make him a king.

[@M0rket]

@@Kilithaza He was forced to abdicate, but he disputed this and has called it illegal. It makes sense that we would continue to use the title, even if it had no legal meaning. Also, it's not uncommon that royal families who no longer reign retain the use of their titles. For example, Queen Ingrid, the mother of Queen Margrethe II, retained her title even after her husband King Christian X died, even if she was never a reigning monarch. Or Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, who keeps using her title after she and her husband were forcibly dethroned by the military junta, and exiled in 1974. Whether or not the title is recognized in the country in question is really not all that relevant.

This was very cool. As a swede i think of Denmark as a very flat place, the kind of place that will be claimed by climate change. Grassy and never more then a few kilometers or miles to the beach. Not that much to see really. Just head to the beach in any country with a coastline. But this was nice. If you can make Denmark sound extravagant you have a subscriber in me.

[@NatashaBergen]

That's a really cool perspective! I would have to agree with you too, climate change could have some serious affects but maybe it'll be okay. I'm glad you liked the vid, your comment made my afternoon brighter 🤩

[@Dystopi1]

Meh, Sweden is also pretty boring. Nothing but forests. The nature is better in Norway and the cities are better in Denmark. But swedes will never know as they can't afford to go to either, being the poorest country in Scandinavia on a per capita-basis. Cheers!
