@ Denmark Roskilde Cathedral
"Today's trivia question, Frost! What is special about the Danish flag?" asked Freddie Feelgood.
Frost considered this. "Flag of Denmark. White cross on a red field. You know, when I can't sleep, I list in my head all the national flags in the world that use red and white only—there's about twenty of them, you know. Then I go on to blue and white—I'm digressing. I don't know; what's the answer?"
"The Danish flag, the Dannebrog remains the oldest state flag in the world still in use by an independent nation. It has been recognised as in use from 1219," replied Freddie Feelgood.
Denmark Roskilde Cathedral
Located in Rosklide, the Luthern Cathedral is the official royal burial of the church for Danish monarchs. Here you can learn about 800 plus years of history and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Grab your travel partner and descend to the catacombs, be sure to watch out for ghosts!

@ Denmark Nyhavn City Scape
"It says here that due to the high latitude of Denmark, summer brings much longer days, with up to 17½ hours of sunlight at summer’s peak," remarked Freddie Feelgood.
"It will never be completely dark at that time of year then!" said Hyacinthie.
Denmark Nyhavn City Scape
The old city has been renovated from the old red light district sailors visited and flop houses! Now travelers can listen to music on the sidewalks and enjoy cold ale on a summer day. Different styles and cultures of fare for those wanting to try new cuisines are available as well.

@ Denmark at the Sea
"I guess all the cycling helps with the Danes' sense of wellbeing. Copenhagen looks to be very bike-friendly," remarked Freddie Feelgood.
"Plus Denmark is relatively flat and isn't uphill both ways, as is the case sometimes when we go cycling at home!" responded Hershel.

Denmark at the Sea
Breathing deep the briny air, watching the gulls float and dip on the horizon, kissed by the sun's promising rainbow, you can shed the days stresses and curl your toes in the sand and relax.

@ Denmark Cold Ocean Rocks
"'When Shakespeare wrote about a Danish prince in Hamlet, the character was based on an ancient Danish myth about Viking Prince Amled of Jutland'," read out Freddie Feelgood from the brochure.
Snowball selected another Nidar Smash from the bright yellow bag and crunched pleasurably for a few seconds. "That's a very long play, Freddie Feelgood. Hey, try one of these chocolate crispy corn things! They're sort of sweet and salty at the same time!"
Denmark Cold Ocean Rocks
Cold ocean breezes whip off the coast, chilling the traveler to the bone, but the stark beauty of a black and white contrast amazes those who seek to see it.

@ Denmark Sea Grass Dunes
"Did you know that Danes have the largest Fourth of July celebration outside of the US?" said Freddie Feelgood.
Hampton was intrigued. "Interesting, Freddie Feelgood! Why is that?"
"It goes back to the late 1800s, when one out of every ten Danes left their homeland for America."
Denmark Sea Grass Dunes
Visiting the North Shore, the azure blue sea and sky blend effortlessly on the horizon. Grab your binoculars and see what you can see frolicking on the waves!

@ Denmark Seaside Staircase
"According to our tour guide, Skye, the two oldest amusement parks in the world are in Denmark! How's that for a fun fact? Denmark is home to the world's oldest amusement park, Bakken, as well as the second oldest one, Tivoli Gardens. Bakken is just a short 20 minute train ride from Copenhagen central station and Tivoli Gardens is located just on the opposite side of the street from the station in the centre of Copenhagen."
"Sounds great, Freddie Feelgood! Everypet enjoys the Fairground—well, except those that aren't so keen on rollercoasters!"

Denmark Seaside Staircase
Be sure you have your PetBit on when you climb this set of stairs, and unless you want to spend the day on the stairs instead of enjoying the beach, be sure you don't forget your flip flops and sunscreen in the car!

@ Denmark North Sea Wild Waves
"Apparently LEGO was originally called 'Automatic Binding Bricks'," remarked Freddie Feelgood.
"Not the catchiest of names!" replied Cuckoo. "It's a good thing they changed it."
Denmark North Sea Wild Waves
The thundering roar of the sea can be felt when it crashes into the shore. From the foamy spray to the vibrations of noise zipping through, you want to keep your paws firmly planted away from the rage of salty sea washing over the beach.

@ Denmark Shell Beach
"Cycling is awfully popular here in Denmark, isn't it?" remarked Freddie Feelgood, looking out of the coach window.
"Apparently nine out of ten Danes own a bicycle, and they have 7500 miles' worth (12,000 km) of cycle lanes throughout the country," responded Queenie.

Denmark Shell Beach
If you're a driftwood collector or for shells, this beach is a treasure trove. Just remember that you won't be able to get them through customs with them.

@ Denmark at Sunset
"Chef was saying last night that the Danish pastry actually originates from Vienna!" remarked Sam. "In the 1840s, some Austrian bakers settled in Denmark and introduced the now well-known and much-loved pastry. For this reason Danish pastry is actually called wienerbrød or 'Viennese bread' in Denmark."
"That's funny!" responded Freddie Feelgood.
Denmark at Sunset
Another sunset, another day in the books of traveling around Denmark, what will be your next adventure? Oh, wait, there's always the night life to explore!

@ Denmark Jutland Beach Path
"Listen to this, Tammie! The business of a Danish carpenter in the 1930s went under, so he began to make toys out of his stock of wood. One of them, a small wooden duck, was loved by his children so much that he decided to put them into production to sell. Guess what his company is called now?"
"I don't know, what is it, Freddie Feelgood?"
"Lego! It just proves the old saying, Out of adversity comes opportunity."
Denmark Jutland Beach Path
Take the path set before you, or forge your own?

@ Denmark Lyngvig Light House
"Today's trivia question, Anwyn! What is special about the Danish flag?" asked Freddie Feelgood.
Anwyn considered this. "Flag of Denmark. White cross on a red field. You know, when I can't sleep, I list in my head all the national flags in the world that use red and white only—there's about twenty of them, you know. Then I go on to blue and white—I'm digressing.

"The Danish flag, the Dannebrog remains the oldest state flag in the world still in use by an independent nation. It has been recognised as in use from 1219," replied Freddie Feelgood.
Denmark Lyngvig Light House
Built in 1906 on the West Coast of Jutland, standing in the stairwell of this historical Light House makes one think they are inside a Nautilus shell. The starkness of blue and white draws the eye upward to the top, but do your paws have the stamina to take it all the way to to the apex?

@ Denmark Moulded Wax Agave Flowers
"Cycling is awfully popular here in Denmark, isn't it?" remarked Freddie Feelgood, looking out of the coach window.
"Apparently nine out of ten Danes own a bicycle, and they have 7500 miles' worth (12,000 km) of cycle lanes throughout the country," responded Supahfly.

@ Denmark Øresund Bridge at Sunset
"It says here that Aarhus is reputed to be Denmark’s happiest city and one can see why on a city break to Aarhus. First of all, it is small, attractive and easy to get around. It’s close to beaches and forests. Plus it’s packed full of cultural events and attractions such as the ARoS Art Museum and the cultural center DOKK1," said Freddie Feelgood.
"It sounds great!" responded Sophia. "Fancy having all that on your doorstep!"
https://www.visitaarhus.com/aarhus/plan-your-trip/...80 Øresund Bridge at Sunset
Situated between Sweden and Denmark, this bridge services the automobile and train alike. Stretching across the Øresund Sound it's a beautiful sight at Sunset, combining the natural beauty of nature and the imagination of man, creating a scene of tranquility.

@ Denmark Kronborg Castle Street Scene
Oh look ... you won a pet!
Denmark Kronborg Castle Street Scene
Did you struggle having to study Hamlet at school? Well, just 45 minutes by train from Copenhagen is a town that will make Elsinore Castle a reality. Helsingør (alternative name Elsinore) is a port in eastern Denmark. Its 15th-century Castle Kronborg provided the setting for Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. The nearby Maritime Museum of Denmark illustrates 600 years of Danish seafaring history.

@ Denmark Søndervig Sand Festival
What do you mean, unicorns don’t exist? Don’t say that to us in Denmark. Our land of everyday wonder has unicorns to spot in the most unlikely places, from street corners to throne rooms, and it’s one of the best countries in the world for unicorn hunting, even if we do say so ourselves.
Denmark Søndervig Sand Festival
Travelers will be wowed by the amazing sand artists at the Søndervig festival held at one of Denmark's oldest beach town. Traditional sand sculptures can be found, but the creativity of removing sand, rather than building it, is a beautiful creative flair!

@ Colourful Village, Faroe Islands
"You cannot be more than 32 miles (52 km) from the sea anywhere in Denmark," announced Freddie Feelgood.
"That sounds good for sea-loving pets!" remarked Snowflake.
Colourful Village, Faroe Islands
There are 123 villages on the 18 Faroe Islands. Most of the villages are situated near the ocean, which is to be expected from a fishing nation. The houses are close together and most will be colourful though some will be the traditional black. Many houses will also have a turf roof.

@ Lush Green, Faroe Islands
"Hey, look at this advertisement, VioletMystic! You can have mermaid-swimming lessons in Copenhagen!"
"That sounds amazing, Freddie Feelgood!"
Lush Green, Faroe Islands
The vibrant green of spring and summer in the Faroe Islands. All the islands are covered by this lush green grass in spring and summer, with the arrival of fall the grass turns into a carpet of brown. A small stream heads under a culvert and goes on its way to the ocean.

@ Remote Wilderness, Faroe Islands
"I guess all the cycling helps with the Danes' sense of wellbeing. Copenhagen looks to be very bike-friendly," remarked Freddie Feelgood.
"Plus Denmark is relatively flat and isn't uphill both ways, as is the case sometimes when we go cycling at home!" responded Redington.

Remote Wilderness, Faroe Islands
If you were a writer or an artist or someone who was comfortable with your own thoughts this would be the ideal place to call home.

@ Eysturoy, Faroe Islands
"Have you seen on our itinerary, midnught, we'll be visiting Møns Klint? Apparently it's a huge series of beautiful white chalk cliffs leading down to a beach where it says you’re almost guaranteed to find a few fossils! Then at the GeoCenter Møns Klint you can see dinosaur reconstructions, watch 3D films and visit an excavation cave to try your hand at being a real life palaeontologist."
"I'm looking forward to that already, Freddie Feelgood!"

Eysturoy, Faroe Islands
East Island, the second largest of the Faroe Islands and another very important bird area. You may recognize this from the James Bond movie No Time To Die, which was filmed starting in 2018. Many locations were used around the Faroe Islands for the movie.

https://www.visitaarhus.com/aarhus/plan-your-trip/...78 Shore, Faroe Islands
Volcanic eruptions over millions of years have built up the Faroe Islands. There are three layers of basalt, a dark grey igneous rock. The formations of basalt are exposed everywhere on the islands and anyone interested in geology is sure to want to pay a visit.

@ Village, Faroe Islands
What do you mean, unicorns don’t exist? Don’t say that to us in Denmark. Our land of everyday wonder has unicorns to spot in the most unlikely places, from street corners to throne rooms, and it’s one of the best countries in the world for unicorn hunting, even if we do say so ourselves.
Village, Faroe Islands
Another fantastic landscape was also used in the Bond film, No Time To Die. When you see stunning scenes like this it is no wonder this location was chosen. The Faroe Islands are made up of 18 major islands and 779 smaller islands, islets and skerries. A skerry is a rock island too small for humans to live on but often used by seabirds as nesting sites.

@ Boat At Rest, Faroe Islands
"'When Shakespeare wrote about a Danish prince in Hamlet, the character was based on an ancient Danish myth about Viking Prince Amled of Jutland'," read out Freddie Feelgood from the brochure.
Midnight selected another Nidar Smash from the bright yellow bag and crunched pleasurably for a few seconds. "That's a very long play, Freddie Feelgood. Hey, try one of these chocolate crispy corn things! They're sort of sweet and salty at the same time!"
Boat At Rest, Faroe Islands
A highly visible red boat rests on one of the many shores in the Faroe Islands. It could belong to a fisherperson or just a quick way to get around instead of travelling overland. Fishing is the main industry accounting for 96 percent of goods exported.

@ Saksun, Island of Streymoy
"Have you seen on our itinerary, Harmony, we'll be visiting Møns Klint? Apparently it's a huge series of beautiful white chalk cliffs leading down to a beach where it says you’re almost guaranteed to find a few fossils! Then at the GeoCenter Møns Klint you can see dinosaur reconstructions, watch 3D films and visit an excavation cave to try your hand at being a real life palaeontologist."
"I'm looking forward to that already, Freddie Feelgood!"

Saksun, Island of Streymoy
Streymoy is the largest island in the Faroe Islands and Saksun is a tiny remote village nestled between high mountains overlooking a circular lagoon. The lagoon was once a harbour but a storm filled the harbour with sand and formed the lagoon which fills with seawater from the Northern Atlantic Ocean, twice a day. A truly stunning place.

@ Sea Stacks, Gjógv, Faroe Islands
As Freddie Feelgood's tour of "Denmark" comes to an end, he receives a seasonally appropriate gift!
Pastel Winter Rainbow
What a delight this rainbow is. How delicate the pastel colours are. These are also sometimes called Sundogs but I don’t find that a very fitting name for these beauties of nature. By whatever name you call these you and your pets will love to explore all the uses you can put these to in your art. They would make a wonderful slide, whee all the way down from a puffy snow cloud. Who wants to go first?
Sea Stacks, Gjógv, Faroe Islands
When wind and rain work their magic over a very long period of time they erode the land leaving behind these dramatic pillars and arches of basalt.
Freddie Feelgood has completed his tour of "Denmark"! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also tour Scandinavia!
