The Wonderful Plant Rich Island in Denmark
The variety of plant life on Bornholm is astounding. The northern part of the island is extremely rocky and by radiating heat picked up from the sun, the rocks keep the surface warm enough for figs, grapes, mulberry, trees and other plants from Southern Europe to grow well.
Sweet cherry trees blossom in June and give a colorful show. Red orchids are common on the banks, in the river valleys and thousands of woodland flowers, especially blue, yellow and white anemones, cover large areas. About 25 percent of Bornholm is woodland. Click the image to read more.

The Louisiana Museum outside Copenhagen
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk 55 km (22 mil) north of Copenhagen opened its doors in 1958. At that time, it’s founder, Knud W. Jensen, intended it to establish a home for modern Danish art. However, a few years later he changed course and Louisiana became an international museum of modern art.
Today, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art has an extensive permanent collection of modern and contemporary art as well as special exhibitions and is the most visited art museum in Denmark. Claude Monet was the focus of a major exhibition in 1994. When you enter through the modest courtyard and old country villa, you immediately will be surprised what opens up.

On Foot or by Bike on the Oxen Trail in Denmark
If roads could speak the Danish Hærvejen (Oxen Trail) would recount tales like few others. Throughout history this route, which starts just on the other side of the German border and runs down the spine of Jutland, has borne the weight of Danish hopes – as well as livestock.
A source of great pride for modern day Denmark, many of its secrets still lie by the roadside, yet to be discovered. It is probable that the route has been trodden for millennia and an air of historical significance hangs over every part of it. Click the image below to read more.

Hamlet’s “Castle of Elsinore”
