Gallery Heike Arndt is a dynamic art gallery with people working with passion. With a big collection of prints and artworks of a very wide range of medium, there is art for everyone's taste. As an artist collaborating with the gallery since 2017, I had the opportunity to meet a lot of other artists and interesting people. Connecting people together is something very important for the gallery team. Since they work hard to organize international collective exhibitions, the network of artists, collectors and enthusiasts never stop to grow. This led to the creation of a collective called « Knot », with artists from all over the world organizing regularly collective exhibitions. I would definitely recommend you to stop by, have a coffee with the lovely team and look at the varying, high quality artworks.

I've visited Denmark many many times over the years from the UK and thought I knew the country pretty well until I visited Vesterhavegaarden and discovered this extraordinary hidden vineyard producing some of of the best wines, cognacs and calvados I've ever sampled anywhere in the world! Easily accessible from Copenhagen, it's worth going down there for the views and landscapes alone but once the host and self-taught wine producer Jesper Rye starts his tour, his boundless enthusiasm and detailed knowledge of wine pours out and you will leave there with an infinitely better knowledge of wine and this beautiful local area than when you arrived. The tour includes informative sampling and the wonderful hospitality of the whole family is free! I can't recommend this attraction enough.

We went here on a guided tour and had a super interesting and very educational visit to the frontlinie defense of NATO, located at Stevns in Denmark. The tour of the underground fortress was the highlight, and the guide introduced us to the facts and a handful of good stories. Definitively worth recommending!

Lots to do for all ages - not only labyrinths but also various games that keep the family entertained for hours. Both adults and teenagers in our family loved it. We did not have food in the park so paid DKK 100 per person, which seemed fair for several hours worth of entertainment. We had lots of fun trying the "fake views" which are trompe l'oeuil photo opportunities.

There's an excellent 5 kilometre walk around the glacial moraines of the Røsnæs peninsular from the nature centre to the lighthouse. It takes a couple of hours, along the stony beaches, past woodlands, across some fields and around small lakes. At the lighthouse there's a little café, but it was closed due to the Covid-19 outbreak. From the viewpoints you can see Samsø, northern Funen and Sejerø. The sky meets the sea with ships sliding past on their way through the Great Belt. An idyllic spot!

A very traditional Danish church with some absolutely amazing fresco's. The (new) organ is, on the other hand, ridiculous ugly and has no contextual link.
