- We enjoyed a quick get away to Southern California and stopped a few days in Solvang! What an adorable little town full of captivating architecture, tasty food and delicious wines and pastries.
In this episode we discuss the must do's and the things to be aware of!
Note: We are fully aware that windmills and clogs are associated with Dutch and not Danish culture. In fact, all of Solvang is really an amalgamation of European culture (i.e. the half timbered facades) for the purposes of attracting tourists. However, for the purposes of this video, we've placed everything under the "Danish umbrella" since that is how the town is headlined.

"Solvang".......
means ...'Sun Village'...in
Danish.....according to the original Danes
who called themselves
"Square Heads" in the Free Speech Days.
As opposed to what they called
Irish ...( Myself)....."Round Heads"...
Anyway.....
I grew up here in the 1960-70's.
With the GRAND PARENTS OF THE FOUNDERS OF SOLVANG IN 1911.
Solvang is Sun ( Sunny) Villiage
Awesome insight! We'll definitely pin your comment

Note: Denmark had alot of windmills :)
We have windmills regardless of anyone’s associations 😭
my brother in law was stationed at Vandenberg years ago. We visited Solvang and had a great time!!
I have always found Solvang facinating, it is this strange mix of dutch, bavarian and tiny bits danish culture, through a touristy american lens. It is as is kinda implied at the end of the video, a sort of a living themepark exhibit of those aforementioned places.
[ 9:41 ] - "Æbleskiver" is kind of a strange name for those delicious fluffy spheres. The word means "apple slices". I heard they used to put a piece of apple in the middle, but the "slices" part I can't explain. They are typically a Christmas thing 😁
The name is from the middle ages, where they where infact slices of æble dipped in dough and then fried. This was ofc before the invention of the æbleskive pan, which is how they are made now.
You guys rock , well done
Thank you for your kind words!
Always wanted to go back to Copenhagen. Yessss that will do for now, ‘Copenhagen’ aka Solvang
Yes indeed!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for this video; it's beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind, kind words :)
Will be visiting soon. Keep it up guys. Greetings from Boston…
Awesome! Enjoy your visit, Solvang is definitely a lot of fun. We appreciate you watching and we look forward to covering Boston soon!
Solvang is a town of extraterrestrials. Many people that visit say that they feel like they’re in another world. That’s because it’s a town of extraterrestrials. The Basque community is another place founded by extraterrestrials from Andromeda. That’s why they can’t find the origin of the Basques. Extraterrestrials still visit the Basques and Peru.
Anything that bites Mama Burrell is per definition a bastard. 🤣❤️🇩🇰
What an adorable place! Sooo...which Danish pastry do you recommend we visit?? And they are famous for their what?? 🤣
LOLOLOL!!! Ya got me!
Uhm Solvang translated to danish does not mean sunny field ( sunny field translation to danish is sol mark) there isn't actually a word for Solvang
Thank you for the clarification! That's what we were told, but apparently we were told wrong, lol
That’s not right, ‘vang’ is an old danish word for field. (afgrænset jordstykke, fx en mark eller en eng der hører til en gård eller et hus / delimited piece of land, e.g. a field or a meadow that belongs to a farm or a house). So sunny field is close enough 👍
Hi this is me you student GENEVIE!!
If you ever comes yo Iowa, then you should visit the "Danish" town of Elk Horn. MUCH more "Danish" than Solvang! Some of the inhabitants actually speak Danish. Maybe not modern Danish, buuut it's still intelligible for Danes! ;)
hi mrs burrell its your student brody
Did you need to show vaccination to eat inside restaurants?
Not at all, just the mask requirement and we were good to go!
Bro when i heard them saying æbleskiver i laughed so hard
The food has nothing to do with Denmark 😂😂😂
And I am speaking as a dane 😆
Not surprising. In fact, we encapsulated the spirit of your observation in our closing monologue

Animals are NOT bastards! They have a right to be here and imagine if you were locked up in a pen instead in the wild where they belong you would be aggressive to. Learn some manners and respect for the animals. No one asked you to feed it!
