Mögeltondern

Møgeltønder is a Danish village west of Tønder near the German-Danish border. The 787 inhabitants are called Mögeltonderaner. The first gem at the start of the journey. A wide, straight cobblestone street, lined with typical holiday homes, some with thatched roofs, forms the picturesque center of the town. At the eastern end of the street (the most beautiful village street in the country), after a bumpy drive, there is a small forest behind the Schackenborg Slotskro inn. If you park the motorhome in the parking lot opposite, you have the opportunity to stroll past the houses and take a look at the church with its impressive frescoes or the antique shop opposite. Schackenborg Castle is somewhat hidden in the forest and open to the public at certain times. It was the residence of Prince Joachim, the youngest son of the Danish queen, and his family until 2014.

Kommandørgården

Kommandörgarden: Römö's Local History Museum

This wealthy hereditary farm was owned by the same family for 12 generations from 1600 onwards. The current building was constructed in 1749 and has been rebuilt and subdivided several times. In the 18th century, the family became extremely wealthy through seafaring and whaling, which is why farming played a secondary role. In 1708, for example, they only had a few horses and sheep.

Painted ceilings and panels from the 18th century, hundreds of Dutch blue and white tiles, and elegantly furnished living rooms testify to the prosperity of those times . The parlor was used for parties and weddings, but as a heated room, it was also the largest living room. The stables provide an impression of the agricultural tradition.

The National Museum Kommandörgarden, with its fantastic view over the marsh landscape, exerts a special attraction and conveys a kind of personal satisfaction to its visitors .

Permanent exhibition on whaling including a sperm whale skeleton

The museum's permanent exhibition documents the development of Rømø , particularly illustrating life on Rømø during the height of the Commander's era from 1669 to 1859. Rømø's inhabitants were in high demand as sailors, helmsmen, and captains and hunted the Bowhead whale. These whales grow up to 18 meters long. The original population of approximately 50,000 has been dramatically reduced. Today, the whales are strictly protected, but had already lost their economic value due to the availability of substitutes.

In the Kommandörgarden barn, you can see the skeleton of a sperm whale that stranded on Rømø on March 27, 1996. Sperm whales weigh up to 40 tons.

At the entrance there is a cozy café with delicious lunches and homemade cakes.

Der Mensch am Meer

Man by the Sea (Danish: Mennesket ved Havet) is a nine-metre-high sculpture group made of white concrete, created by the sculptor, painter and graphic artist Svend Wiig Hansen.

The sculpture is located in Sædding Strand, northwest of Esbjerg city centre, near the Fisheries and Maritime Museum. The sculpture was commissioned in 1994 to mark Esbjerg's 100th anniversary as an independent rural municipality ( sognekommune ). It was opened to the public on 28 October 1995. It has become a symbol of the city and can be seen from the sea ten kilometres away in good weather.

Troll Wild Emil,

Take the whole family on a troll hunt for the troll WildEmil, who is taking a nap in Tinkerdal Skov near Skave outside Holstebro.

You have to look closely - because despite its impressive size of 2x7 meters, the troll fell asleep in a nest made of spruce trees and branches, so it can be difficult to find in the forest.

Frederikshavn

Frederikshavn offers everything you need for a wonderful holiday memory for young and old. The city is unique with its many opportunities for shopping and dining, bunkers, impressive nature and even Denmark's only palm beach.

Frederikshavn has a very special atmosphere thanks to its maritime history, its idyllic location and, not least, the ferry connections to Sweden, Norway and Læsø. The city's many visitors (around five million per year) have laid the foundation for a lively trade. Today, one of the country's longest pedestrian zones invites you to go shopping and nature offers a wealth of experiences and activities both on land and at sea.

The northernmost palm beach in the world

It all started in 2004 with 30 palm trees. Today, 100 of them decorate the white sand of Denmark's most exotic beach. On a summer's day, when the sun shines from a cloudless sky, you get the feeling you are in the Caribbean. But it is quite simply the Kattegat and Denmark at its very best.

Troll Tusindtunge

In addition to incredibly beautiful nature, Egholm is also hidden on one of the famous Thomas Dambo trolls.

Pil Tusindtunge is the name of the troll who moved to Egholm in the summer of 2020, where Dambo performed 10 of his famous trolls under the name "Den Store Troldefolkefest." If you want to find them, it's a good idea to wear sturdy hiking shoes, as Arrow is hidden about 4 km from the Egholm ferry terminal.
