Germany – Along the way

Mols, Jutland

Drove the Marguerite route towards Mols. Stopping at Rosenholm Castle is Denmark‘s oldest family-owned castle. It is located on Djursland, north of Hornslet and northeast of Aarhus. It is one of the best-preserved complexes from the golden age of the manor house – from 1550 to 1630. We did not take the tour this time. Moved on through Rønde to theContinue reading “Mols, Jutland”

Back in Denmark

Back in Denmark we first visited Frøslev Prison Camp. It was an internment camp used in 1944 and 1945 during WWII. Visited Vejle for a quick bite before taking some smaller roads to our final destination for the night, Aarhus. Really nice and warm weather these days. Walked to downtown Aarhus for a late dinnerContinue reading “Back in Denmark”

Lyksborg – Glücksburg

Raining this morning. That was not in my plans, but the forecast assures me it will stop soon. Drove parts of Margeritruten yesterday. There were not a whole lot of road signs, so it was easy to miss them. You probably need a map and/or a navigator to guide you. Hard to do alone. DivingContinue reading “Lyksborg – Glücksburg”
