The picture of Maya is pure art in every way - the tilt, the blurred but recognizable people in the background, the matching colors, the complementary colors (!) and of course that smile...
Great to come along with you... haven't been there since my school trip in 1985 when I lived in Denmark as a kid. Wasn't quite as warm but the same clear blue skies. Shocking to know that the lighthouse is no longer in the same location LOL ;-)
Thank you for visiting our beautiful tow . Skagen is wonderful in summer. Lots of tourists, just such a beautiful atmosphere. Greetings from skagen. Use will always be welcome back. 😊
Hey, that's when we met. That was an amazing experience to walk into the dessert there and the view is really stunning. Brisket was so much fun and meeting you was really nice. Thanks for the talk Maya, you are such a wonderful person to talk to. My husband did the wall up to the top of the lighthouse. He did some really beautiful pictures. What a great day in total.
Hey! It was super cool to meet and I agree it was a wonderful day. I hope the rest of your trip was just as fun :). Thanks for saying such nice things about Maya, she is cool.
Thank you for another interesting and entertaining video It's embarrassing, but your family have re-taught me a lot about Danish history, that I've forgotten since my school years ^^ The three of you (four including Brisket), are a joy to watch and always lifts my mood P.S. Congratulations on the 20K subs, they're so well deserved Best wishes to all of the Young family
When you go back to Bangsbo, you should wait to when there is reenacters there, that makes it so much more exiting. There is a reenacting group connected to the museum that is often there to make the history come more to life
Den tilsandede kirke. The sand covered church. This was Skagens church from the 1300s but it kept being burried by sand and the king of Denmark ordered it abandoned in 1795. So they knocked it down but left the tower as a reference or mark for sailors out at sea. I love it there, checking out the town from the tower is lovely.
@@SuperElkjer well some stuff were re-used there, like døbefonten, but I always heard and read that you can find bits and pieces of the church in houses all over Vesterby 😆
@@MortenAastad Could be. I was thold that the stones ( munke sten ) where used to the new church, but stories are stories. I haven't loooked up in historie books 🙂 I also thought the ships hanging from the roof in the the new church where from the old church. I think I was told that when I was "konfirmeret" in that church many years ago, but again stories are not always facts 🙂
@@SuperElkjer Apparently this is it: 1982: Kirkeskib - arv fra Maria Andersen Kokholm. I don’t think they had ships like that yet when they tore down the old church. I also wonder where people went to get their churchly needs filled until the new church was finnished. Its around 100 years after all.
@@MortenAastad Hmm, there where ships hanging there before 1982 as I was konfirmeret in 1977 as far as I remember 🙂 But in that age I could easily have misunderstood something. Church stuff was not my biggest interest, hehe. It is a good question. Where did they go in those 100 years. That must be written down somewhere. I spended a lot of time in "fortidsminderne" as a child, an I dont remember any pictures or something telling that story.
The next time you go north you should definitely visit Læsø. It's really interesting with it's iconic seaweed roofed houses, making your own sea salt/flour/candles, bonfire story telling, lots of artists and amber, langustine festival and much more. Fun fact: The germans never got to building their planned bunkers on Læsø but they did get the concrete there. After the war the islanders used the concrete to build a variety of things, like houses, so you'll see it all over the island. 😄
Hej Karina! Hur går det? Jag heter Matt och jag kommer från USA och kan tala svenska. Jag vill gärna flytta till Sverige och besöka också Danmark och Norge någon dag! :D Jag har hört om Jylland. Hoppas min svenska är bra! Ha dig en god dag och god helg!
@kim Dier Jag vill gärna flytta till Sverige någon dag och också delvis för att jag har en gammal vän i Norge som jag vill träffa någon dag i person. (Träffades vi här på YT, runt 15 år sedan når jag var 17) och han förtalde mig att lära svenska, för att det är lättare än norska och han kan förstå det nästan så bra som norska. Min vän heter Arild och han är cool! (för att kan betyda because på svenska, förresten)
I live in Ålbæk with is between Frederikshavn and Skagen you should visit the town next you are here, it's so lovely in the sommer :) great video as always!
Getting nostalgic. My step granddad had a farm on the other side of the road of Rubergknude fyr. And you was filming the area he and my stepdad had the huntingright to. I have spend a lot of time that area
Miranda...the canons on a battleship in the USB were as far as I remember reading, between 12"-16" depending on which one. But cool that your grandfather was a gunner 👍
He was on the USS Iowa in the Pacific. I just checked and they were 16"/50 caliber guns so quite a bit larger indeed. Im hoping to some day make it out to San Diego as the Iowa was towed (quite epically in fact) to the harbor there a few years ago and is now open to the public.
@@TravelinYoung - that is SO cool! Sistership of course to the Wisconsin, New Jersey and the Missouri 😉👍 I'm hoping one day to visit any one of them. Here's a trailer for the movie "Battleship" to give you an idea of the size of it (I believe it's the Missouri) ruclips.net/video/U9rWwg7FpR0/видео.html
I think wherever you go, it's up to you to take it in, with or without prior knowledge - and you guys seem to be doing very well in that regard. Contrackluations, you are very much alive ;-) I like your videos very much. They are relaxed and hyggelige!
You should consider going to Bornholm. It is abit further away than everything else, and can be hard to get a place during the summmer season. But the nature there is amazing, and some of the small towns are just amazing.
those guns as guessed stem from a warship, in this case the "biggest" warship Denmark had during world war 2 the Niels Juel which was a coastal defense battleship or discount battleship armed with 10 of those guns, you saw 3 of at bangsbo fort. can recommend Stevns fort as well they have 2 dual mount 15 cm secondary guns from the german world war 2 battleship Gneisenau as their primary guns at the fort.
What a fantastic video! I adore Skagen , for all the tippy-tip reasons you mentioned 🤣🌊☀️ Skagen always warrants, another look, regardless of the season, albeit much more happens in the summer 😉 A trip to Læsø, would be the cherry on top! Beauuuuuutiful island! p.s. isn't Morocco a blast?! I enjoyed myself there, too ☀️🐪 hello from Hundested 🌸🌱
When are you guys visiting Bornholm - truly a unique part of Denmark (I guess every part is, haha) but you should totally come visit here. We moved here right about a year ago and also starting a RUclips channel about moving out of the city and into the country-side.
They followed the move of the lighthouse live in TV back then, there was some great aerial footage. It was a slow process though :) And the yellow colour on the houses in Skagen is actually a special shade of yellow called "skagen gul" (skagen yellow) :)
I love the branch at Skagen in Stormy weather - when the sea meets It's so beautyfull and stunning. The sky and sea it's one.... The waves were so high. Favorite place in Denmark. My second place is The sky of heaven (Himmelbjerget). Did U do that? I love it on a summerday.... sailing in one of the boats to himmelbjerget and walk all of the way up and looking over the lakes. It's so breathtaking. I'm planing doing this on 22/23. I travel around Jylland and Bornholm with my parents - when I was a kid. It¨s nice to see what my country look like. Have U visit Bornholm? I love it... From Brændegårdshaven, Hammershus, The round Churchs to Due Odde.
When I was younger if I had the money to do it I should have and would have traveled to all the Nordic countries and Meyer you’re one very lucky girl to enjoy all the traveling like you have done treasure Rudolph forever
Haha, just been there (this week) with my daughter, she did bathe in Kattegat, waked 200m, and took a dip in Skagerak, Had dinner at "De 2 have" what a experience. And as always a experience to watch your trip around Denmark.
Frederikshavn is my hometown. You should have visited the main bunkers at bangsbo fort. But you had to buy a ticket for that.. Very well reconstructed and shows how it was back then. And most bunkers was actually build by the danes for the germans. It was one of the ways danish constructionbuilders could have a decent paycheck during ww2.Not many knows that.
If it hasn't already been mentioned, I would highly recommend visiting the Tirpitz Museum on the west coast, they have reconstructed construction displays and all sorts of information about these bunkers and how they formed Rommels Atlantic Wall.
Did you notice the parts of the old farm house at the Bangsbo fort? When it was build a "view" was not a priority. So the barn faced east and blocked the view from the house because not getting cold from the wind tops looking over the ocean. And yes the canon came from a battle ship
Quick suggestion for family movie night; Under Sandet (Eng: Land of Mine) is a pretty powerful movie taking place around the areas you've visited and is a pretty accurate depiction of what a lot of the young germans went through after the end of ww2 as they were forced to dig up around 1.4 million landmines on the beaches of Jutland in under 5 months.
I've taken my boyfriend to both Skagen and Dragør. He thought Dragør was the prettier of the two! And... Well, I think both are pretty, but Dragør is definitely worth a visit, especially while the hollyhocks are in full flower all over the town. (Skagen has better museums, but Dragør is just so charming.)
OMG where is this?? 😄 I'm a dane and I didn't know you could go inside the bunkers, anywhere.. I live on Sjælland, but my family used to go to Jylland in the autumn holliday and we used to take walks on the beach, and always tried so hard to find any little piece of amber.. But never did 😩 😆 And we always looked at the bunkers, but they were down the sand, and you couldn't go inside.. I really would like to see one inside 😄
I have to say this: The 2 bodies of water that meet at Grenen is: Kattegat from east meeting Skagerak from the west. The Baltic Sea starts south of Fyn, and the Northsea starts south of Hanstholm. Now you know :D GREAT video as always. I truly enjoy watching your excitement.Keep up the good work, guys. Happy Friday. :)
Video idea: In about a week, half a year ago, you made a video where you talked about speaking Danish and your learning experience. In the video you spoke a bit of Danish and I thought it might be interesting if you made follow-up video, to show your improvements I realize it might be one of the most Danish things to suggest, because we all love our language and feel like it is important, that when people move here, they learn the language. Keep up the videos, it’s always interesting to see people experience the culture I grew up and live in.
In case you never found out, the bunkers was build by making a diposable form, then pouring in the cement, you can tell when you look at some of the bunkers from the outside, the cement is layered, creating horisontal lines.
I don't know if you've already seen this movie. But I would highly recommend "Land of mine" or in Danish "Under sandet" It's about the "volunteer" German soldiers that was sent to clear the west coast of landmines after WW2. Even though you have to deal with the subtitles you should give it a watch, it's worth it.
The best bunker museum is the new Tirpitz close to Esbjerg, but the old museum at Hanstholm is good too. There is a little train, that takes you into the bunkers.
Those bunkers were part of the atlantic wall that stretched from the Spanish border in France all the way to northern Norway and the border with Russia.
You should try visit the westcoast of Denmark, from blåvand and up to hvide sande, also a very pretty area. And if you like Nature you should try visiting Thy with vejlerne, the biggest Bird sanctuary i northern Europe!
The epic battle music with the lighthouse around 6:30 haha, I can't.. that was somehow really funny to me. Also how's Miranda's knee doing? Seems she can traverse the bunkers and steep landscape just fine?
The knee is getting better! Thanks for asking! I can generally get around just fine these days but I need to do some work to get it to fully bend without pain and just generally strengthen it. Who knew a simple fall could do so much damage!
Just to clear up all the danes that were taught that it's Skagerak and Kattegat that meet at Skagen. Skagerak and Kattegat are parts of the North and Baltic seas and are not seas by themselves.
The bunkers in Skagen and along the northern west coast was very important as you could control all traffic in an out of eastern sea like ships from Russia. The bunkers are kind of build by Germans, but a lot of Danes where working there to make a little money during wartime. Not a fact we danes like to look at 🙂 A lot of areas where closed during the war. Skagen was divided in two, as there was a big wall build in the middle of the city cutting off access to the most northern part. The bunkers are tuff to get rid of. As a child I witness an attempt to blow on up down on the beach in Skagen. They filled it with enplosives, tightent it, and filled it with water. There was a boom, and a crack in the wall where all the water ran out 😀 The houses in Skagen has the white stribes on the roof is from old time, so ships could see that it was Skagen and there was rough water ahead. And btw, Skagen looks a lot like Florida east cost except for the snakes and alligators 🙂
I believe the Germans had 7,000 bunkers and pillboxes built along the Danish coast. Now there's 6,999. They tried to demolish one, but decided that it would take way too much work and explosives to clear all beaches of the bunkers and so they left the rest alone.
@@bjornh4664 They removed more than one. I know they removed some of them in Skagen if they where under water and they where dangerous for the local fishermen. Some of them on the beach that where halfway in water and dangerous because people would use them as playground, they have been removed too. I just remember the first attempt to do it, and it didn't work that well :-)
Grenen is the border btw Skagerrak (part of the North sea - Atlantic ocean) and Kattegat. Kattegat is not a part of the Baltic sea. You have to go further south, below the large danish islands, to get to the Baltic sea. Kattegat is a shallow sea. The North sea is deeper with some holes down to 700 m. Bringing up cold water to the surface. But other areas are shallow as well. During the ice age, most of the North sea was dry land, with large cornifer forests. Hence you can find amber at the west coast of Denmark. Next time you are in Skagen you have to have frokost at Bodilles. You do not need dinner that day.
The rest of the old church is beneath the sand. Its only the top of the old church tower that is visible. Its the size of a normal Danish village church.
The houses below the Bangsbo Fort was very expensive around 1980 and was known as the Golden Coast. Then in 1986 house prices dropped to less than half due to new taxation laws, and the name changed to Bay of Lamentation. Did you visit Eagleworld, south Skagen. If not you shold do it next time.
When Danes go on holiday and they aren't going abroad, there are 2 places that are competing to be the most popular destination. And that's Skagen and Bornholm. Northwest and East.
If you are in to this kind of things, drive to Greve at Mose fortet in Greve strand it’s 60min. From Lyngby. it’s a fortres from the first ww and at the date 11. 11. They fire the kanos, to Mark the end of the first wold war.
Yeah, their friend has no idea what he's talking about. Apparently it's the same guy who told them that the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet at Skagen (Grenen), when they aren't even close (it's Skagerrak and Kattegat).
the interesting or maybe a bit scary thing when you say "there are so many" is that there used to be a ton more, over the years many have been removed mostly because they became too dangerous to go into a lot was eaten by the ocean
As a few has said about the guns at Bangsbo fort they came from the Niels Juel battleship. When the Germans invaded, the Danish navy attempted to sink the ship so the Germans wouldnt take it. But where they sunk it the waterlevel was to shallow and the Germans got it anyway and then used some of the guns at the fort. Oh and welcome to my city of Frederikshavn😁
Visit Hanstholm bunker there are 4 major bunkers they had guns same type as the Bismark When you really want to see a bunker stil in working condition,you need to visit ,Kristiansand in Norge. There the guns are in working condition. Denmark dismantling every thing in side the bunkers after the war.
Did you go to Skagen in the "Hellerup" week ? Where all the rich people of Denmark (And the wannabees) go to Skagen and party, seems like a lot of boats and cars around for a normal day in Skagen. Skagen (and the food- and drinkplaces) had a rise in COVID-19 cases because of the many people coming from all the different places.
3 days ago you posted the "Maya surprise" video, and we heard that the girls were scheduled to stay 2 weeks. Are they back in the US already - can we hear more about their stay in Denmark please?
Hey, they are still here. This trip to Skagen was a few weeks ago when just us 3 + brisket were on holiday. As for the girls they are having a great time but we don’t want to put pressure on them or take away from their trip to focus on videos. Plus as the camera guy I’ve been back at work while they have fun :). Rest assured they are having a blast!
@@TravelinYoung Thanks for the answer. I wasn't sure if Skagen or Maya's friends were current. It's good to hear they're enjoying - you all seem like genuinely nice folks. :)
Hav en dejlig dag! - Have a nice day! 🙂🙂
Apologies for the mistake you guys! As many of you have pointed out, Skagen is where the Skagerak and the Kattegat meet. Thanks for letting us know!
Oh dammit now you have to go there again to make a completely new video 😜
HA! Right? Maybe it was all part of a master plan to just HAVE to go back to Skagen. #conspiracytheory
@@TravelinYoung It sure sounds like it could be 😁
Norway is ALSO continental Europe 😉
Well, in danish yes, in english Skagerak and Kattegat and a part of the north sea and Baltic sea respectively. So you are correct:)
The picture of Maya is pure art in every way - the tilt, the blurred but recognizable people in the background, the matching colors, the complementary colors (!) and of course that smile...
Great to come along with you... haven't been there since my school trip in 1985 when I lived in Denmark as a kid. Wasn't quite as warm but the same clear blue skies. Shocking to know that the lighthouse is no longer in the same location LOL ;-)

Really cool to see that you were in my neck of the woods when you visited Bangsbo Fort on the Pikkerbakken just outside of Frederikshavn..
00:41 "and there's some, like, super cool canon-things here"
LOL

You shouldv’e visited my quail farm in Tversted 😊 Love your videos!
I hope you hat a good time in my home and birth town Skagen
I don't know if you know already but the sand covered church is actually huge, it is just that the tower is the only thing that is not burried.

Took some time, but im really beginning to like ya guys. Im danish, good conetent. Keep going

When it was build a "view" was not a priority. So the barn faced east and blocked the view from the house because not getting cold from the wind tops looking over the ocean.
And yes the canon came from a battle ship
In the summertime you can each wednesday and saturday find reenactors playing the roles of german soldiers on the Bangsbo Fort.
You guys are awesome... so glad you picked Denmark :)
You should go to the tip of Skagen a stormy day and see how the wave hit each other with great force
Sometimes I think you are secret danes, who just happen to be born in the US! 😄 From your looks to your personalities! Ha ha..
Love you guys! 😄❤️👍🌎🌍
Summer ending, i haven't had my summer holidays yet 😁😁😁

The bunkers of Hanstholm are quite amazing. The Germans placed a cannon that could shoot halfway to Norway.
Nice video. You could also take a short trip to the old part of Dragør city. It is also worth a visit, and it is not far from Copenhagen airport. =)
I've taken my boyfriend to both Skagen and Dragør. He thought Dragør was the prettier of the two! And... Well, I think both are pretty, but Dragør is definitely worth a visit, especially while the hollyhocks are in full flower all over the town.

OMG where is this?? 😄 I'm a dane and I didn't know you could go inside the bunkers, anywhere.. I live on Sjælland, but my family used to go to Jylland in the autumn holliday and we used to take walks on the beach, and always tried so hard to find any little piece of amber.. But never did 😩 😆 And we always looked at the bunkers, but they were down the sand, and you couldn't go inside.. I really would like to see one inside 😄
I have to say this: The 2 bodies of water that meet at Grenen is: Kattegat from east meeting Skagerak from the west. The Baltic Sea starts south of Fyn, and the Northsea starts south of Hanstholm. Now you know :D GREAT video as always. I truly enjoy watching your excitement.Keep up the good work, guys. Happy Friday. :)
Are Skagerrak and Kattegat internationally recognized as separate bodies of water? Or are they just local names?
To the best of my knowledge they are. You'll see the name of those body of waters on the map.
Hej til jer alle 4😊det er sjovt at følge jer og dermed se Danmark fra en helt ny side 👍😊🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 velkommen til Danmark ♥️🌷🌷🌷🌷
Danmark är vackert 🇩🇰🌻.
Med vänlig hälsning från grannen Sverige 🇩🇰♥️🇸🇪
@@midsue Sverige är inte så tokigt häller 😉
Dav og hej
Ja
Hej
Video idea:
In about a week, half a year ago, you made a video where you talked about speaking Danish and your learning experience. In the video you spoke a bit of Danish and I thought it might be interesting if you made follow-up video, to show your improvements
I realize it might be one of the most Danish things to suggest, because we all love our language and feel like it is important, that when people move here, they learn the language.
Keep up the videos, it’s always interesting to see people experience the culture I grew up and live in.
In case you never found out, the bunkers was build by making a diposable form, then pouring in the cement, you can tell when you look at some of the bunkers from the outside, the cement is layered, creating horisontal lines.
I don't know if you've already seen this movie. But I would highly recommend "Land of mine" or in Danish "Under sandet"
It's about the "volunteer" German soldiers that was sent to clear the west coast of landmines after WW2. Even though you have to deal with the subtitles you should give it a watch, it's worth it.
Not gonna lie, glad the hoodie is back. Feel less guilty for living in mine..
The best bunker museum is the new Tirpitz close to Esbjerg, but the old museum at Hanstholm is good too. There is a little train, that takes you into the bunkers.
Those bunkers were part of the atlantic wall that stretched from the Spanish border in France all the way to northern Norway and the border with Russia.
Operation Todt...
music,,, waow.
You should try visit the westcoast of Denmark, from blåvand and up to hvide sande, also a very pretty area.
And if you like Nature you should try visiting Thy with vejlerne, the biggest Bird sanctuary i northern Europe!
im glad you dont know the rep that Randers have in Denmark :D :D
Skagen! Mitt favorittsted. Jeg drar dit noen dager hvert år.
Nordkapp (North Cape) in Norway is the northernmost point in Europe and it is connected to the rest of Europe through Finland.
The epic battle music with the lighthouse around 6:30 haha, I can't.. that was somehow really funny to me.
Also how's Miranda's knee doing? Seems she can traverse the bunkers and steep landscape just fine?
The knee is getting better! Thanks for asking! I can generally get around just fine these days but I need to do some work to get it to fully bend without pain and just generally strengthen it. Who knew a simple fall could do so much damage!
The Three Brisketeers :-)
Just to clear up all the danes that were taught that it's Skagerak and Kattegat that meet at Skagen. Skagerak and Kattegat are parts of the North and Baltic seas and are not seas by themselves.
Did you go to the art museum in Skagen? Definitely worth a visit if you're into that sort of thing.
Råbjerg Mile is also worth a visit.
Grenen is not the northernmost point in Denmark. You need to walk 2km VNV to get there :-)
The bunkers in Skagen and along the northern west coast was very important as you could control all traffic in an out of eastern sea like ships from Russia.
The bunkers are kind of build by Germans, but a lot of Danes where working there to make a little money during wartime. Not a fact we danes like to look at 🙂
A lot of areas where closed during the war. Skagen was divided in two, as there was a big wall build in the middle of the city cutting off access to the most northern part.
The bunkers are tuff to get rid of. As a child I witness an attempt to blow on up down on the beach in Skagen. They filled it with enplosives, tightent it, and filled it with water. There was a boom, and a crack in the wall where all the water ran out 😀
The houses in Skagen has the white stribes on the roof is from old time, so ships could see that it was Skagen and there was rough water ahead.
And btw, Skagen looks a lot like Florida east cost except for the snakes and alligators 🙂
I believe the Germans had 7,000 bunkers and pillboxes built along the Danish coast. Now there's 6,999. They tried to demolish one, but decided that it would take way too much work and explosives to clear all beaches of the bunkers and so they left the rest alone.
@@bjornh4664 They removed more than one. I know they removed some of them in Skagen if they where under water and they where dangerous for the local fishermen.
Some of them on the beach that where halfway in water and dangerous because people would use them as playground, they have been removed too. I just remember the first attempt to do it, and it didn't work that well :-)
There are more bunkers to see around the West coast, along the beaches of Hanstholm and Harboøre/Thyborøn
Oh man. You were so close to here, but didn't come by.........
You have seen more of Denmark than I have. I am 46, LOL.
There's no time like the present. Get to it Skovgaard 😄
Grenen is the border btw Skagerrak (part of the North sea - Atlantic ocean) and Kattegat. Kattegat is not a part of the Baltic sea. You have to go further south, below the large danish islands, to get to the Baltic sea. Kattegat is a shallow sea. The North sea is deeper with some holes down to 700 m. Bringing up cold water to the surface. But other areas are shallow as well. During the ice age, most of the North sea was dry land, with large cornifer forests. Hence you can find amber at the west coast of Denmark.
Next time you are in Skagen you have to have frokost at Bodilles. You do not need dinner that day.
You didn't enter the Lighthouse?
Like to see Maya learning to drive is it not possible to drive with parents before driving school ??????
Do you drive a Saab Convertible? In case you do, I saw you near Rebild today?👋
Ah, while that sounds like a fun car unfortunately I have a Juke and I was on Fyn most of today. Hi anyway though :).
you could also swing by Tingbæk kalkminer :0)
Josh 6: The Return of the Hoodie!
The rest of the old church is beneath the sand. Its only the top of the old church tower that is visible. Its the size of a normal Danish village church.
The houses below the Bangsbo Fort was very expensive around 1980 and was known as the Golden Coast. Then in 1986 house prices dropped to less than half due to new taxation laws, and the name changed to Bay of Lamentation. Did you visit Eagleworld, south Skagen. If not you shold do it next time.
Can you go to Kalmar
When Danes go on holiday and they aren't going abroad, there are 2 places that are competing to be the most popular destination. And that's Skagen and Bornholm. Northwest and East.
If you are in to this kind of things, drive to Greve at Mose fortet in Greve strand it’s 60min. From Lyngby.
it’s a fortres from the first ww and at the date 11. 11. They fire the kanos, to Mark the end of the first wold war.
Ain't Norway and Sweden part of the European continent?
not in the same direct way
...in a sort of around and about way, sure! 😊
Yeah, their friend has no idea what he's talking about. Apparently it's the same guy who told them that the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet at Skagen (Grenen), when they aren't even close (it's Skagerrak and Kattegat).
Yes they are, but going around the Baltic sea to avoid bridges or ferries is not exactly convenient.
No it’s separated.. water in between
@@boesvig2258
their friend was half right...
I like to recommend Stevnsfortet, Danish Army’s underground Command Center during Cold War.
漂亮！
The reason the chuch is kind of small is becuase it's only the tower left, partly covered in sand.
the interesting or maybe a bit scary thing when you say "there are so many" is that there used to be a ton more, over the years many have been removed mostly because they became too dangerous to go into a lot was eaten by the ocean
As a few has said about the guns at Bangsbo fort they came from the Niels Juel battleship. When the Germans invaded, the Danish navy attempted to sink the ship so the Germans wouldnt take it. But where they sunk it the waterlevel was to shallow and the Germans got it anyway and then used some of the guns at the fort. Oh and welcome to my city of Frederikshavn😁
Visit Hanstholm bunker there are 4 major bunkers they had guns same type as the Bismark
When you really want to see a bunker stil in working condition,you need to visit ,Kristiansand in Norge.
There the guns are in working condition. Denmark dismantling every thing in side the bunkers after the war.
Well the seas actually named Skagerrak and Kattegat in Danish. Skagerrak in northwest, and Kattegat in east.
Did you go to Skagen in the "Hellerup" week ? Where all the rich people of Denmark (And the wannabees) go to Skagen and party, seems like a lot of boats and cars around for a normal day in Skagen. Skagen (and the food- and drinkplaces) had a rise in COVID-19 cases because of the many people coming from all the different places.
We were there a different week, before.
What have you done to Maya's two visiting friends from the US? They didn't come along for the Skagen trip?
We actually went to Skagen in July, we are finally getting through the final videos from our summer trip to Jutland.
Did you not go to Råbjerg Mile? And I would love to see Josh eating a good made dish from the sea. Everthing from there.... You'll be suprised.
You should visit Bornholm. That's where all danes go on vacation.
We have! We just happened to go before we started the channel. It was lovely!
Skagen and Bornholm are the most popular domestic destinations.
3 days ago you posted the "Maya surprise" video, and we heard that the girls were scheduled to stay 2 weeks. Are they back in the US already - can we hear more about their stay in Denmark please?
Hey, they are still here. This trip to Skagen was a few weeks ago when just us 3 + brisket were on holiday. As for the girls they are having a great time but we don’t want to put pressure on them or take away from their trip to focus on videos. Plus as the camera guy I’ve been back at work while they have fun :). Rest assured they are having a blast!
@@TravelinYoung Thanks for the answer. I wasn't sure if Skagen or Maya's friends were current. It's good to hear they're enjoying - you all seem like genuinely nice folks. :)
