Aarhus

On the Pentacost Monday Aarhus, the second largest city in DK, was completely empty... 

We need to go back there to check out if the night life, so much recommended in guide books, is at least partially true...

Denmark's highest point

Our first (and hopefully not the last) summer weekend we spent with two very nice people Paul and Kasia, travelling around to get a better taste of Danish nature :D

Viking Center in Fyrkat:

 

And we also visited the highest and the third high point in Denmark!!!

Ejer Baunehøj the highest (almost) natural (not the tower :-)) point in Denmark, 170.89 m above sea level!!! 

Until 1847 people thought that Himmelbjerget (147m, image below) was the highest point in Denmark. At that time Ejer Baunehøj was declared to be higher, and in 1874 it was measured to be 170.95m a.s.l. Nevertheless in the middle of the 1900's, Yding Skovhøj, only 3 km away, was declared to be even higher. In 1953 the Danish authorities finally decided  that a burial mound on Yding Skovhøj from the bronze age didn't count :-) That reduced Yding Skovhøj height to only 170.89 m  (6 cm less than Ejer Baunehøj!). 

Finally in 2005 Denmark’s National Geographical Survey determined that Denmark’s highest point (170.86m) is .... located only 200m west of Ejer Bavnehøj on an ordinary field belonging to a farmer. There is only a minor slope between the two tops and according to the international principle of primary factors they are defined as one complete top.

Anyway, the third highest top, Himmelbjerget (below), is much nicer to visit and it somehow feels much higher than its 147m :-)

Finally summer days :D

I have missed it so much: sunshine and warm of summer days...

Back to Medieval times ...

A lovely day out at the Medieval market in Viborg. Handcraft, tournaments, a bit of fair tale stories and history plus nature and a beautiful summer day (25C) - veeeery relaxing!!!

 

Irrespective of what you have thought so far, please note that MacBooks existed already in Medieval times... :D

Finals of Danish women's handball league

Ufff, second time lucky ;)
This time we made it! We bought tickets for another handball match but this time (read about the previous time) we actually saw the game!!!
Watching finals of Danish women's handball league live was pretty exciting but my favorite moment was just after the game was finished, when the winner team started to celebrate their victory... Explosion of happiness and positive energy!!!

Our lovely little Polo was sold!

Andreas managed to sell our little Polo (vel Bzyczek) to the first person who was seeing it :-)

Excellent seller and a great car! I hope that Michelle (the new owner) will be as happy with it as we were for the last 5 years...

Thanks Andreas! :D

Spring, sunshine and too much work...

I knew that the real Spring will start right after I have too much work to fully enjoy it!!!

About 20 degrees Celsius, birds singing and just a bit of wind and I am stuck in front of my laptop...

Anyway, we cycled to the Southern lake of Viborg for a short picnic.... veeeery relaxing!!!!
