Holmen

Today I visited Holmen. Holmen is an island close to Copenhagen. It is very easy to get to Holmen, you just take a water bus.

The yellow harbour bus sails around the harbour of Copenhagen and also stops at Holmen

You can have very nice walks in Holmen and can have a very delighful picnic. Holmen holds Denmarks biggest warship - the ship called Peder Skram. There is also a small boat close to Peder Skram called The Shark. Both ships are also museums.

Sælen is an old Danish submarine now out of the wather. You can get into it if you get there during its opening hours. I did not get in.

There is a very good view of Copenhagen on the other side of the harbour from Holmen.

I really enjoyed being there. I really recommend going there.

Lønstrup and Rubjerg Knude

Some days ago I visited Lønstrup with my friend Leonard. Lønstrup is a seaside village close to an edge of a cliff.

There is a very good shop in Lønstrup called Bo Bendixen. We took a very beautiful long walk to the remainings of a small church, which is hanging over the cliff. The church is called Mårup kirke. You can see that every year in the winter there are huge storms, the waves grow extremely big and crash agianst the cliff, so eventualy the cliff falls into the water (sea) and so slowly the remainings of the church will also fall into the water. We continued our walk from the church to Rubjerg Knude, which is also a desert but not as big as Råbjerg Mile, which I wrote about the other day. Rubjerg Knude graves a lighthouse. The lighthouse is stuck in the sand.

Råbjerg Mile

Yesterday I visited Råbjerg Mile. It is the biggest desert in Denmark. It is one of the most sandy deserts in all Europe, it carries 3.5 million tons of sand. It is not just any ordinary desert it is a warndring desert, which means the sand moves around. The desert leaves a low, moist layer of sand behind it, trailing back westwards towards Skagerrak, where the Mile originally formed more than 300 years ago. Over 250,000 families visit Råbjerg Mile each year.
Every time I come to my summer house I visit Råbjerg Mile because there are huge dunes, which I can jump from. It really tickles when I jump of one of the biggest dunes! While in Råbjerg Mile, I have never said I am bored or I want to go home.  I really enjoy going to Råbjerg Mile.
There is also another desert close by, it is called Rubjerg Knude close to a city of Lønstrup, but this is for another time...
