We didn't know what was coming!

- From the gorgeous Mon we travel northwards into Zealand, Denmark's largest and most populous island. However, before we get to Copenhagen we made a stop Rødvig, to see Stevns Klint and attempt to find the peregrine falcons - which nests in this area. We also made the dubious call to park right at Mosede Fort - the epicentre of a Danish mid-summer festival!
ABOUT US:
Hi! We're Andre & Lisa! Full time travellers and nomads since 2018.
This was not an overnight decision. It was a goal we worked towards for 2 decades. We have always prioritised travel as a way to satisfy our most basic curiosity - to depart from regular life into something new, even if only briefly, before returning to ‘normality’. Normality, however, is subjective and when you travel to unfamiliar places, you lose your grounding, your bearings - it challenges everything you consider ‘normal’ about life. Everything is unordinary. Everything is important. Everything requires your attention. You understand that because you have no home, every place can equally be your home. More importantly, time is of the essence.
You can find our blog at www.wewillnomad.com where we post regularly about the destinations we visit along with travel tips and what we spend on travelling.

We were super keen to find somewhere where we could experience a little bit of mid-summer celebrations in Denmark - but we never thought we might end up right in the middle of a festival!
In this video you got VERY close to where I work. I work weekends at Royal Unibrew (the brewery) in Faxe. You also drove right through my home town Køge.
Fun to see Sankt Hans Aften (midsummer night) at Mosede Fort 🔥🧙🧹
We still joke about getting 'stuck' there that night. 🤣
The fish are called a "Hornfisk" in Danish, directly translated "horn-fish". It is an expensive fish and very delicate. I think the fisherman offered it to you because it was catched off season and he needed to have maybe 3-4 of them in order to sell it. Normally they pass through Danish waters in large quantities. It have small blue bones and are hard to filet if you do not know how to. You can both cook, fry or smoke it.
Awesome thanks! We looked it up afterwards and perhaps it was best to not try and fillet it. Lisa is not a fan of fish bones! 🐠🤣
@@WeWillNomad Fish bones can be a nuisance but if you know how to filet each fish it are not a problem. Problem are you have to know each fish. The Hornfish meat are a real treat though. The are passing from mid April to mid June and are best caught in sun/mid day fishing after a moving boat just like it was a tuna or marlin. They are, relative to size, big fighters and getting one hooked does not mean getting on in the boat 😉. Referring to your other message. I do not know where you dipped but if it was now the temperature and weather are pretty optimal. If you like art and nature in combination I can recommend Tegners museum (Tegner´s mausoleum and sculptures from his entire work in a unique landscape and building designed by himself before his death) and the pretty famous "Louisiana" situated between Copenhagen and Helsingør I can recommend. Louisiana are the most visited private museum in Scandinavia
A little further north from Fakse Kalkbrud, and on the coast, we both have an old, now open to the public, Fort to be visited very deep below the ground, Stevnsfortet, and Stevns Klint, on which it is able to see a serious black line in the chalk, from the time that the Dinosaurs may have gone extinct from a natural disaster, which gave a long cold and dark winter time.
The water is very unlikely to be acidic. Chalk neutralises acid. If your garden soil is too acidic, you fix is by adding chalk.
👍 Thanks, good to know! 😊
Mosede Fort is part of the fortification round Copenhagen, and most likely what kept Denmark out of the First Worldwar! We had invited a German officer up to look at the built, and from his report we could after the War see that he expected it would be too costly to attack and control Copenhagen!
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing
So cool to see you visited my home town Rødvig :) been living there all my life :)
Can't even begin to tell you how much we liked Denmark. We're going back there next summer to explore more. ❤
@@WeWillNomad I'm glad you like it here :)
Hey, THAT would be a great name for a caravan cat: Free WiFi 🤭
And you laugh at Lisa for her enthusiasm to dig fossils Andre, but this was an extremely popular hobby back in the 1800s, and very competitive
🤣 Now that would be interesting watching peoples responses when calling the cat!!
@@WeWillNomad 😏 But instead of the cat you'd get a bunch of PEOPLE responding
12:26 it is exactly the same the majority of the Germans say, they say there's something calming about Denmark.
Definitely agree! We're excited to get back to Denmark very soon!
Lovely videos from your trip and a cool couple ☺️ we‘re preparing our old boat actually in Falsterbokanal for our long trip ⛵️ good journey through sweden 🇸🇪🚌✌️may coffee on board 😅
Hi Carl! Thanks for the comment! Wow, you guys are right where we are! We'll probably hang around Falsterbo for another couple of days - hopefully to kitesurf -let me know if you guys are are around then we can say hello. If not, all the best for your trip preparations!
you uploadded useful -dear~
Nice video. The fish you got looks like a Hornfisk !
Thanks 👍 I looked it up now and you're spot-on. Seems they are quite boney so perhaps it's just as well we didn't try to cook it! 😆
Did the crowd sing along?
Some did yes. Even so it felt like everyone was really into what was going on. There was this "feeling" of extreme happiness in the air.
Everyone except us! 🙈
You probably didn't know that. But in the limestone layers on Stevns and on Møn's cliff a black stripe lies between the layers.
11:33 you can clearly see it approximately 1½-2 meters above the surface. It is the scientific proof of the great meteor impact that wiped out most life on earth and gave way to mammals.
Yes! That's really incredible. We learnt more about it once we got to the top. Thanks for the comment!
You missed a delicious meal. The fish was a Hornfisk (Latin: Belone belone). Just take out the guts and fry it. The big surprise, the bones in that fish are green.
After everything we've been told perhaps we should have tried to clean it and and eat it.. . 😎 But so we learn.
I would have loved to go fossil hunting with you!
It was so much fun! At first I thought it was going to be a gimmick, but it's amazing how many fossils you can easily find!
What a wonderful experience together with the locals.👌
What are the temperatures during the day🤔
It really looks so relaxing and the food you made looks super yummie 🤤
Thanks Davida! ❤ So far in Denmark we've had very mild and pleasant weather. It definitely feels like summer! The most tricky part is the super long days with sunrise at 4:30 and still ambient light until 11pm!
@@WeWillNomad Goodness, just a power nap before the next day starts.😂
Something like that! 😂
If that fish had been fresh it is a real delicasy in boiled in vinegar and salt and sugar......and it have green bone, name Horn pike (in Sweden)🇸🇪🕊
The guy passed it to us from his boat so it was probably fresh. We just were not too sure how to deal with cooking it 😅 We've been told it's really tasty!
