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
"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 Autumn.
"It sounds great!" responded Finn. "Fancy having all that on your doorstep!"

@ Denmark North Sea Wild Waves
"Chef was saying last night that the Danish pastry actually originates from Vienna!" remarked Grapes. "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 Autumn.
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
"According to our tour guide, Bixi, 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, Autumn! Everypet enjoys the Fairground—well, except those that aren't so keen on rollercoasters!"

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
"One reason for the Danes' happiness is the importance of hygge, the Danish way of enjoying quality time with friends and family. It can be many things, such as candle-lit dinners, wine, relaxed nights in. It's hard to explain," said Autumn.
"Well, we certainly came across it this time last year in the Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience! We had some very cosy chats with all the pets over hot chocolate by the fire every evening in our accommodation!" replied She lob the spider.

@ Denmark Lyngvig Light House
"Did you know that Danes have the largest Fourth of July celebration outside of the US?" said Autumn.
Choose a name was intrigued. "Interesting, Autumn! Why is that?"
"It goes back to the late 1800s, when one out of every ten Danes left their homeland for America."
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?

"It says in our brochure that Danish design is famed for its simplicity and beauty, and that an uncluttered environment is conducive to happiness," said Autumn.
"I think that's very true!" replied Eamon.
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.

"That sounds amazing, Autumn!"
Lush Green, Faroe Islands

@ Remote Wilderness, 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.
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, Midnight Blue, 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, Autumn!"

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.

@ Rocky Shore, Faroe Islands
"Take a look at this, Sea Breeze! It says that Bluetooth technology takes its name from Danish King Harald Bluetooth, also known as Harald I. The Bluetooth symbol is a combination of the Viking runes for “H” and “B”."
"Wow, I never knew that, Autumn!"
Rocky 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
"Hey, look at this advertisement, Enterbeauty a name for this pet! You can have mermaid-swimming lessons in Copenhagen!"
"That sounds amazing, Autumn!"
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
"There's a statue in Hjørring in Northern Jutland made of recyled materials showing a white unicorn on a plinth of crushed materials," remarked Autumn.
"Wow! What's the Danish word for unicorn?" queried miniyao.
"It's Enhjørning," replied Autumn.
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
"One reason for the Danes' happiness is the importance of hygge, the Danish way of enjoying quality time with friends and family. It can be many things, such as candle-lit dinners, wine, relaxed nights in. It's hard to explain," said Autumn.
"Well, we certainly came across it this time last year in the Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience! We had some very cosy chats with all the pets over hot chocolate by the fire every evening in our accommodation!" replied Majestic.

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 Autumn's tour of "Denmark" comes to an end, she 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.
Autumn has completed her tour of "Denmark"! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also tour Scandinavia!
