Description

A kaleidoscopic journey through Denmark. First, a tour of Copenhagen with, among other things, Tivoli, the Town Hall Square, the Marble Church, Amalienborg, Dr. Louise's Bridge, and the usual busy everyday life in the capital, as well as the nature in Dyrehaven a little north of Copenhagen. From Zealand, you can see, among other things, Stevns Klint with Gammel Højerup Church, the Gåsetårnet in Vordingborg, Fredensborg Castle, Nakkehoved Lighthouse in Gilleleje, and Kronborg Castle. There are plenty of shots of the bathing life on the beaches in North Zealand and the rocky coast of Bornholm. On Funen, you can see Christiansminde at Svendborg and the ferry to Tåsinge. From Jutland you can see, among other things, The Silkeborg Islands, Himmelbjerget, Ålborg, which is connected to Nørresundby by two bridges, Skagen with Holger Drachmann's grave, the west coast of Jutland (presumably Thorup Strand and Bovbjerg), Esbjerg with the fishing port, Fanø, Ribe with its cathedral and old houses, Møgeltønder, Schackenborg Castle, Dybbøl and Sønderborg, Galgebakken and Brundlund Castle with the Slotsmøllen in Aabenraa, Gråsten Castle, Haderslev, Århus Cathedral, Koldinghus and the traffic hub Fredericia, which connects Funen and Jutland, as well as Vejle.
