My wish is to inspire you to unique experiences in Denmark! I interview exciting personalities, who in their own way contribute to culture, art, aesthetics and sensuality.

My husband and I have been cycling around Denmark every summer for the last 15-20 years. We find new regions and rarely prepare. What we are preparing for, however, is to invite ourselves to visit and spend the night with all the people we know who have holiday homes. After a year of visiting Sønderjyske, we asked ourselves for advice on the most exciting way forward. The answer was "Ravningbroen". Too bad a bridge I had never heard of. But it became nothing less than a magical encounter. We cycled through the dramatic, hilly area by Vejle Ådal, shortly after it had rained. Without offending anyone, it is perhaps the most beautiful place in Denmark. In the Viking Age, the Ravning bridge was the Nordic region's longest bridge of 750 m - a gigantic masterpiece. Today there are pile tracks left and archaeologists have reconstructed 50-70 m.
Another special place that I often show when we are visited by foreign guests is "Tegners Museum" in North Zealand. It really is a "banged museum". Created by an insanely exciting artist, with an exciting destiny. His entire career is built on his wife's fomue and after the first many years, his aesthetics develop in an idiosyncratic direction. It simply runs off for him. The concrete sarcophagus in the beautiful landscape of Russia near Hornbæk will be a mausoleum of carat. The giant sculptures where the women literally lie around his feet and worship him as a God, are completely insane and wildly fascinating at the same time. Read more about the museum here.
Last but not least, I am very excited about Rosenborg Castle in Kongens Have. Here one really senses Chr. d 4's led hand. Although I was on the verge of crying when they chose to put electricity into the building, it must be said that the castle is in a completely exceptional original condition. The place contains so many stories, just think of the Golden Hall. It is such an exciting place, and you can follow how the subsequent kings make their mark on one cabinet at a time.
