Meilgaard Castle

The beautiful Meilgaard Castle on Djursland between Fjellerup and Bønnerup. It's from 1573. Today, the old horse barn has been converted into the most charming restaurant.

Rubjerg Lighthouse

A magical sunset at Rubjerg Lighthouse.

 

 

The lighthouse has been half swallowed by the sand dunes, and before long it will tumble into the sea.

 

Christmas in Tivoli

Every year Tivoli dresses up for Christmas. It's an orgy of light in the darkest time of the year. It's a Christmas market where people are selling hot chocolate, mulled wine, æbleskiver, and candy. Others sell ornaments and other Christmassy things. It's a magical place, and there's no way that you can leave there without being in the Christmas spirit.

Tivoli in the summer is amazing. I've heard it's fantastic at Halloween. But Tivoli at Christmas is just spectacular. I can't recommend it enough if you ever visit Copenhagen or Denmark in December.
