I was unable to swing it on my trip to CPH in 2011, but BOrnholm, the last remnant of Danish control of the Skone end of Sweden is apparently a fascinating little island.
As a dane I’m always amused when people complain about the LITTLE mermaid being little 😂 Why would anyone expect her to be big? Actually seeing her on a rainy day is kind of special. You will not be bothered by other tourists, and seeing her small figure sitting alone in the rain makes you feel her loneliness and longing for a life she can never have.
Major error on No. 2 entry - Skagen does NOT border both North and Baltic Seas, and anyone with eyes can see that on a map:. Regarding the Kattegat - the water on the southeast of Skagen: "bounded by the Jutlandic peninsula in the west, the Danish Straits islands of Denmark and the Baltic Sea to the south and the provinces of Bohuslän, Västergötland, Halland and Skåne in Sweden in the east. [[The Baltic Sea drains into the Kattegat]] through the Danish Straits. The sea area is a continuation of the Skagerrak and may be seen as a bay of the North Sea"
No we say scandinavia sometimes, which is Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Norden is directly translated "The North" which means the nordic countries Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Sure people maybe say the north more often then scandinavia, it depends on what you talk about.
Yep. "Scandinavia" has always been an outside term, and theoretically only includes the Kalmar Union nations. Inside that larger area, Suomi/Finland and Denmark are included - for the historical reality that until 1944 Iceland was part of Denmark, and Finland was *huge* part of Sweden until 1809. Made sense for them to be included in the broader internal regional designation.
Sweden , Norway and Denmark rest on the Skanderna mountain range , wich Finland and Island do not and therefore do not belong to Scandinavia , the Nordics is a name for countries that lie up north.
regarding the "Little mermaid", it is little!!!... have you ever met a tourist in London who said "Big Ben" it's so disappointing, it's was so big and there are too many tourists.. ??
and it isnt even a classic mermaid in most people's understanding.. because it has two lower "feet" rather than a tail. I saw it in person in 1988, and again in 2011. SO I know I wasnt imagining it LOL
confusing Nordic countries with Scandinavia is an American thing-they simply don't know what Scandinavia is -they could make a video about 10-20 best places to visit in Nordic countries instead -that would be great to, but making a video about Scandinavia incl. non Scandinvian countries just show ignorance -an Scandinavian
And here comes the geography teacher with the red ink to correct people again.. Scandinavia is a geographic term that means: "the peninsula with the Scandic mountains on it".. And it should NOT be used as a cultural term to "group all norse speaking countries together". People do it because they cannot differentiate Norse from Scandinavian but it is incorrect. Denmark isn't technically in Scandinavia as it no longer holds any land on the scandinavian peninsula..
Scandinavia got its name many hundreds of years before the mountain range, it originates from Scania, Scandinavia is Scania and the areas adjacent to Scania, originally part of Denmark and where the Danes originate from.Scania was Danish until you took it away from us.Give us Scania back.
@@bernadetterubin4892 I am not saying it got it's name from the mountains.. It means the peninsula with the Scandes mountains on it. Yes. Denmark was originally part of Scandinavia.. But not for the last 300 years or so.
So many other places than capitals and large cities. Gotland is something you should look up during summer!

we never say scandinavia in our countrys, whe call it Norden. that inculdes Finland too.
I don't agree. I use both scandinavia and Norden (the nordics) depending on the context.
Btw where are ya from?
