Tips, Trips, and Stories From Our Worldly TravelsFredericia: Not Our Favourite City, but a Great Waterfront
After Vejle we continued south to Fredericia, and our opinion of it ended up being fairly simple: we did not particularly like the city, but we really liked the coast. The difference between the two parts was much greater than we expected. We parked near Østerstrand,...
Horsens: Prison History, Parks and a Quiet Overnight Stop
After Aarhus we continued south to Horsens, where our stop was much more practical than touristy. We checked several places around the town before settling on what worked for us. Horsens has quite a few possible motorhome parking spots, but they vary a lot: one near...
Our Stay in Aarhus – From Viking Aros to the Modern Waterfront
After leaving Egå, we continued south into Aarhus, and the change was immediate. After several days spent around small harbours, beaches and quieter towns, Aarhus felt properly urban again. It is Denmark’s second-largest city, but what makes it interesting is that the...
Our Stay in Egå – Between the Marina and Aarhus Bay
Egå was one of those stops that turned out to be more interesting than we had expected. Just north of Aarhus, it feels much quieter than the city, with the sea, boats and low coastal neighbourhoods replacing the increasingly urban landscape only a few kilometres...
The Eclipse of 12 August 2026 — An Unusual Evening in Denmark
The evening of 12 August 2026 gave us one of the most unusual moments of the whole trip. We were in Denmark, near Randers Fjord, when the Moon began to move across the Sun and a deep partial solar eclipse slowly transformed an otherwise ordinary summer evening. The...
Kyst- og Fjordcentret — Where Djursland Meets Randers Fjord
Our stop at Kyst- og Fjordcentret was really about the place rather than the attraction itself. We came to Voer Færgested and spent some time around the centre and the fjord, but we did not actually go inside, so our impression of it comes from the landscape and the...
Fjellerup Strand — A Quiet Evening on the Kattegat
Fjellerup Strand was one of those places where very little needed to happen for us to enjoy being there. After crossing the quieter interior of Djursland, reaching the sea again felt immediately different, with the road ending among low dunes, summer houses and a long...
Ebeltoft
Ebeltoft was one of the places on Djursland where it made much more sense to leave the motorhome behind and explore on foot. It is a small town, but its old centre has far more character than its size suggests, with cobbled streets, crooked half-timbered houses,...
Grenaa — Ferries, Old Streets and the Wide Kattegat
Coming into Grenaa after the quieter stretches of eastern Djursland felt like a sudden change of scale. It is still a relatively small Danish town, but here the landscape becomes much more active: ferries, fishing boats, yachts and commercial ships share the...
Balle
Balle is a small village in eastern Djursland, but for us the most memorable part of the area was not the village itself. It was the coast a few kilometres away at Glatved Strand, a wonderfully isolated stretch of the Kattegat where an industrial landscape and an...
