Forgive me, friends, such a banal headline! But Eryo is really one of the most beautiful places, where I managed to visit recently. I love the northern nature and the northern sea (we even in our Honeymoon my husband and I went to the Baltic), but I often do not have enough time and willpower to refuse a trip to Italy or to warm sea for a visit to the cold, grassy shores. In a word, Eryo happened to me at the right time and became a real gift!
1. rø is one of the few Danish islands that is not connected to other islands by a bridge, so you need to get here by ferry. I sailed from Svennborg, the island of Funen, the harbor of which you see in the photo.
2. Here is the ferry, a real whopper! I've never swum on one.
3. It floats to Eryo for 75 minutes, at the beginning of its journey passing under such an elegant modern bridge connecting Funen with Langellan, which I have already told you about.
4. Only 6.5 thousand people live on the island, there are three cities, I visited two - in Marstal and Erskobing. I was surprised to learn that Marstal was for centuries one of the largest harbors in Europe, the center of shipbuilding. And now in the town with the population - attention! - 2395 people work at the shipyard.
7. There are some absolutely incredible sizes in Marstal for such a tiny town. maritime museum... When I saw him, this one, as it seemed to me then, a toy house with a triangular roof, I grinned to myself, they say, well, and a museum! But when, half an hour later, I was turning the steering wheel in the captain's cabin in the same museum, which, as it turned out, occupies almost half of the city, I was no longer so categorical.
8. Everything that may interest you in connection with the ships and their construction is in the museum. If you want - models of ships and ships in bottles, if you want - historical documents, if you want - paintings, as well as parts of ships, sea nodes, inhabitants underwater world, the cabins of the sailors, the captain's bridge, the wardroom! In short, the Marstal Maritime Museum turned out to be the largest such museum in northern Europe!
9. I was completely fascinated by these beach houses on the shore Baltic Sea not far from Marstal. In one of them we found, you will not believe, the wedding celebration of a German couple! It also turned out that German citizens come to Eryo to marry foreigners (or foreigners), because on the island it is much easier to do this than in Germany itself.
11. I never get tired of being grateful to the weather, which gave me such clouds and absolutely amazing conditions for filming!
13. The water in the sea is 20 degrees, people are swimming!
15. And again the sea and the air smelling of herbs!
16. Almost Tuscany!
18. The sky was fantastic that day!
19. One of best places for lunch on the island - the Rise brewery restaurant.
20. That was my lunch: everything on one plate, from salmon to local cheese with rhubarb and apple jam. And of course beer, which is brewed here in several varieties, and delicious Danish bread. What amazing bread in Denmark you can't imagine! I adore bread, and therefore I could not help but pay attention to it.
22. I dined in the fresh air, under an apple tree, and there were 2 cat-thieves walking around!
23. Guests are asked not to feed them, but this is not required - the cats will find food for themselves! Here he is, lying content.
24. Due to its small size and almost flat relief, Eryo - perfect place for cycling trips. From the brewery to röskobing, where the ferry from Fühn stops, it is only about half an hour's quiet drive with stops for filming.
25. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to ride a bike to the sea along this beauty!
28. And here comes the sea again!
29. Another beach house.
30. The Danes are simply obsessed with the environment, which cause great respect in me. Eryo, for example, is home to one of the world's largest solar power plants. Sheep graze idyllically next to the solar panels.
31. And here is Öröskobing, a tiny town with a population of less than 1,000 and considered the best-preserved small town in Denmark. Everything about him is okay, everything is pleasant.
36. These are not decorations, this is actually the case!
37. Erskobing has one drawback - there are few inhabitants in the city, and therefore the streets are unusually deserted. I think if you get here in cloudy weather, the mood will be completely different.
Danish territories include more than 400 islands and 7,564 kilometers coastline... When in Denmark, you will always be no more than 48 km from the sea. Regardless of the season you choose to travel to this country, winter or summer, the sea will always be part of the picture of your vacation, especially if you go to one of the many Danish islands. Each of them is a kind of Danish pearl with unique history, people and legends.
Læsø - an island of houses with algae roofs
The ideal way to navigate the sandy plains of Lesø is by horse. The bike is also perfect for working up a healthy appetite before a meal, which will consist of the island's seafood.
You can also watch the salt mining process and enjoy the rejuvenating salt baths in the ancient church specially converted for this purpose. Alternatively, you can go to watch seals on a fishing boat.
The roofs of the houses on the island are made from sea ruppia (a type of seaweed), which is dried and rolled up.
To date, only a few houses have a seaweed roof, however island activists have revived the craft to give new life this old tradition.
Samsø - the eco-island of Denmark
Samsё Island is officially recognized as a zero-emission site.
All energy on the island is generated only by the wind and the sun. The island has its own energy academy, where locals share their experiences with visitors on how so-called “green” initiatives have transformed their island, famous for its apples and vegetables, into an eco-lab for the energy of the future.
Rø (Ærø) - rural life and farming
Known for his organic farming, sandy beaches and cottages B&B Eryo Island- one of the most popular destinations island recreation and cycling tours in the archipelago.
His main city Røskøbing received the 2002 Europa Nostra Award for the preservation of its unique heritage.
Eryo is an independent territorial unit with a very friendly policy for visitors. Visitors can rent an electric car from a travel agency in røskøbing. The island also offers free wifi in port cities.
Bornholm and Ertholmen
The Danish rocky archipelago in the Baltic Sea provides an opportunity to visit the island community with historic cities, unique culinary specialties and an inspiring tradition of dedication to arts and crafts.
With its rocky shores, sandy beaches, forests and countryside, Bornholm Island is a great place for kayaking, cycling and hiking.
Until now, officially owned by the Danish navy, the islands of Kristiansø and Frederiksø (also called Ertholmen) stretch along the 400-year-old naval harbor.
The islands can be visited on a day trip, or you can stay at the local hotel Christiansø Gæstgiveri for a unique evening in the historic archipelago of just 94 inhabitants.
Lillejo, Fayeu, Veyreux and Femeu - a small archipelago
For most Danes, this is far from a secret - the small islands of Lillejo, Fayjo, Veyrø and Femø are far from the "main road" and therefore little known to tourists.
The islands are renowned for their organic apple juice and cider, and on the island of Lillejoe, repeatedly voted the best in the world, has its own vineyard.
On Fayo Island, you can stay at an organic farm or simply sample its cider in a specialty boutique. Femyo is the largest of the islands. It hosts an annual international jazz festival (31 July - 5 August).
Faneo - traditions and heritage in National park Wadden Sea
Surrounded by sand dunes and open nature Senderho on Fanø Island (Wadden Sea National Park) is one of Denmark's most charming villages with a rich nautical history.
Her 300-year-old Sønderho Kro Inn serves local seafood. In addition, we recommend trying local beer, in particular Fanø Rav - a light beer “dry and aromatic like local humor,” according to the manufacturer.
Ere (Ærø) - a small island 200 km from Copenhagen. It is known for hosting the most photographed house in Denmark and one of the world's largest solar power plants.
And here in autumn you can observe the phenomenon of "black sun", when thousands of small birds for some reason stray into huge spherical flocks. The island is not connected to the mainland by bridges, and you can get here only by ferry, which runs several times a day.
The island is famous before just like a museum under open air, which attracts thousands of tourists here every year. Here, in the town of Ærøskøbing, houses and streets of the 18th century are well preserved - strict laws do not allow owners to change the appearance of old houses.
Oldest house preserved in Ærøskøbing - built in 1645. This town is very old - in 1250 it was already known as the center of sea trade. Now it is home to about 1 thousand people. By Danish standards, it is a hinterland, a depressed area: young people leave to study and work in Copenhagen, so it is not uncommon to see “House for Sale” advertisements here. And housing on the island is bought by the creative elite - artists, writers, actors, etc.
Our guide, 60-year-old Christopher, a teacher of Scandinavian culture, now and then stops, showing either windows opening from the center, or a door lock with a huge keyhole, and reminds that the city's layout has been preserved from feudal times - people lived in a heap in the city, and land plots were around the settlement.
Out of almost 7 thousand inhabitants Most of the island operates in tourism, as well as a small shipyard in Marstal, the island's capital of 2,500. Marstal is a younger town, founded in the 16th century.
In old houses on the island do not cover the windows even in the evening. And walking along the narrow streets of Ærøskøbing or Marstal, you don't even know how to behave - you seem to be visiting. The owner is lounging on the couch watching football on the big screen. The table is set and the chirping of the guests is heard. There is an Apple in an empty living room, and a cup of coffee next to it ... In all houses there is not luxury, but prosperity.
On Ærø they managed to keep and traditions. For example, sculptures of dogs can still be seen on many windows in Ærøskøbing. If they face the street, then the owner is at sea and the hostess is waiting for guests. And vice versa - if the faces look inside the house, then the owner has returned from sailing and the hostess has no time for guests. During my 5 days on the island, I counted about 30 such sculptures.
Another character Ærø- tiny, 2x3 m, colorful houses on the shore. They rest in them, admiring the sea, and hide from the piercing wind. Such a house costs 50 thousand euros. It is very expensive for such a building, but they buy it for the sake of prestige. In other regions of Denmark there are also similar houses, but they look different, I have never seen such multi-colored ones.
I was on Ærø at the beginning of October, just at this time, the phenomenon of black sun can be observed here. Thousands of starlings fly from Scandinavia to the south for wintering and on the way they stop for the night at Ærø and neighboring islands as well as in southern Jutland (Denmark) and northern Germany. And when they choose a place to spend the night, they densely huddle in flocks, sometimes forming living balls. I also managed to see one such ball, however, in the distance. In South Jutland, travel agencies offer excursions at this time, where birds can be seen up close and photographed.
Where to live and what to eat
Ærøskøbing
Ærøskøbing - a must visit... There are 6-7 hotels and guest houses here, prices for a double room are on average 80 euros per day. There are several cafes and restaurants that close early out of season. In the harbor, where the ferry arrives, there is a supermarket with a fairly diverse assortment, and here on the square there is a stall with fast food and ice cream. Several souvenir shops operate in the city all year round.
Worth visiting Ærø Museum on Brogade 3 -5, as well as the private museum Flaske Peter (boats in a bottle) on Smedegade 22, in the same task a small medical museum (recreates the interior of a local hospital of the last century).
Colorful coastal houses can be seen by going northwest from the city center towards Vestre Strandvej. There are several dozen of them here, this is the symbol of the island.
Tourist Information Office located in the harbor, open daily from 9 am to 4 pm, closed on weekends. There is no hospital on the island; in case of emergency, the patient is taken to the necessary hospital by helicopter, which is on duty around the clock.
What time to spend in Ærøskøbing- depends on your interests and capabilities. Two or three hours are enough for a quick tour of the city. I spent five days here, met the sunrises and sunsets, walked along the coast and took a lot of pictures. This is the most interesting and unusual place Denmark, which I failed to see (they say something similar can be felt in Ribe, but I have not yet managed to get there).
Marstal
It is worth going to Marstal, if you do not come for one day. You can get there from Ærøskøbing (8 km) by bus, but they do not run often. There are several cafes, a restaurant and a supermarket. It is worth visiting the museum of the history of the city, and also, it is located on the outskirts of the city. Many old houses have been preserved in the center.
How to get to Ere (Ærø)
Copenhagen to Odense by train, then by train or bus to Svendborg. Ferries from Svendborg to Ærøskøbing (Eroskobing), travel time - 75 minutes. One way cost is 118 Danish crowns (about 650 rubles), round trip - 184 (about 1,000 rubles).
Ferry tickets can be purchased online, at the checkout or on board. Ferries run 5 times a day - at 10-15, 13-15, 16-15, 19-15 and 22-30 (the schedule needs to be checked). You can eat and drink coffee on the ferry, tickets are sold without seats.
You can also get to Ærøskøbing by ferry from Rudkøbing (travel time - 60 min), and to Søby from Faaborg (60 min) and from German city Fynshav (70 min). From Søby you need to get to Ærøskøbing, transport connection the island is not very good.
On this city street Ærøskøbing is the most photographed house in Denmark (pictured on the left).
There are bicycles here, but not as often as in Copenhagen.
This window is one of the oldest, it opens from the center.
However, all the windows in Ærøskøbing are a kind of attraction.
However, like the doors ...
Even the downpipes are very colorful here.
The houses are like from Andersen's fairy tales ..
The statuette dogs are looking at the street, which means the hostess is waiting for guests.
The owner of the house, so the hostess has no time for guests.
Rebuilding of houses is prohibited, but it is allowed to make windows of a certain size on the roof.
In early October, the island is very beautiful.
The winds are constant here, so it is considered prestigious to have your own tiny house on the shore.
Such a miniature house costs about 50 thousand euros. The payment is not for comfort, but for prestige.
And in the coastal houses the windows are like showcases in a museum.
Each house has its own geometry, its own colors.
Almost every front door on the island has flowers in a flowerpot.
V Ærøskøbing is very interesting museum boats in a bottle, there are several thousand of them.
Our guide Christopher explains how bottle sailboats are made.
The Hospital Museum is not for the faint of heart. It recreates the interior of a local hospital from the last century.
V Ærøskøbing many art and souvenir shops.
In the evening, lights are on in the windows, but the curtains are not drawn.
The light from the lamp fell on an old nautical chart. The grid of latitudes and meridians covered thousands of islands. Thin lines of depths skirted the winding shores of the Gulfs of Finland and Riga. Moonsund, Ahrensburg, Hapsal, Pernov - these old names once did not leave the telegraph tapes of the Main Naval Headquarters. The red and blue arrows of the routes of battleships and cruisers, destroyers and minesweepers ran along the Baltic waves near the islands. And always these routes diligently bypassed, outlined by the neat headquarters of the sector - the zone of shelling of coastal batteries.
Ezel Island. Cape Tserel. Here, in the First World War, four 305/52 open gun mounts were installed on battery No. 43. The battery became the last stronghold defending the entrance to the Irbensky Strait. Today, only the concrete bases of the guns remain on the battery. The cannons were dismantled in the 1920s.
Dago Island. Cape Tahkuna. Four, the same as on Tserel, the cannons were on Tahkun on the battery number 39 in the First World War. There are no guns today. The cannons of the Takhkon battery were removed in the early 1920s.
305/52 open coastal gun mounts were also installed on the Alekseevsky (Krasnaya Gorka) and Nikolaevsky (Ino) forts to protect St. Petersburg from an attack from the sea. Today, both forts have no guns, everything has been cut for scrap. Where can you see these formidable guns today, which formed the basis of the coastal defense of the Empire?
Turning to the old one again nautical map... Dago Island and Hanko Peninsula. The forward position of the Baltic Fleet. The largest circle of the firing sector is centered on a small point on the map - the island of Ere. Here in 1916 battery No. 60 was commissioned, consisting of 4 ex 305/52 open gun mounts. How was the fate of the Ersk battery guns?
At 7 in the morning we met Ove Enquist again on the waterfront in Helsinki. This time our path lay on the Hanko Peninsula. For two hours the road ran between granite rocks, shrouded in morning fog. By nine o'clock we arrived at Hanko. At exactly nine, a military boat arrived and we set off on a sea voyage.
The boat rushed quickly along the Baltic waves. Numerous islands and islets skipped by. The very young captain of the boat carefully peered out to sea, looking for landmarks in the winding fairway. Granite islands are either covered with forest, or only seagulls sit on bare stones. Sometimes the boat passes very close to the underwater reefs, the crests of the waves roll over barely noticeable stones. An hour later, among the many small islands, a large green Island... Well, I think the cannons were very big, therefore the island should be bigger. This is the island of Ere.
The boat slows down and slowly enters a small quiet bay. The first impression is as if you are starting to read again Jules Verne's novel “ Mysterious Island". We moor to the island pier. The lieutenant at the pier meets such infrequent guests here and invites them into the car. We drive for a few minutes and enter a small military town. Enquist says that these houses were built by Russian soldiers in 1916. However, the barracks housing stock has been kept quite well here for 90 years. Several houses, clean lawns, a bike rack, you can feel the well-established military life of the island's garrison. We are escorted to the dining room, served breakfast, coffee and tea. A group of soldiers arrives for breakfast, everyone pours food for themselves, they sit down quietly and in a disciplined manner, just like in an ordinary soldier's canteen, only in the corner of the room there is an old Swedish cannon.
After breakfast we go to the battery. It turns out that she is literally next to a military town. The road goes uphill, a concrete artillery block appears and, here they are - the guns of the island of Ere!
The first order for open coastal 305/52 gun mounts was received by the Petersburg Metal Plant in 1910. The design of the installations was supervised by A.G. Dukelsky was a talented engineer, "Russian Krupp", as the newspapers of that time called him. Initially, eight such installations were made for the Kronstadt fortress: four for the Alekseevsky fort (Krasnaya Gorka) and four for the Nikolaevsky fort (Ino). Per great height and the characteristic outlines of the Russian gunners called 305/52 open gun mounts "cranes".
Power and thunderstorm! Tall, with long barrels, with a thin rear support of the projectile feed guides - indeed, these gun mounts were somewhat reminiscent of cranes. Today the facilities can be called closed rather than closed. From above they are covered with armor plates, a concrete wall with a roof was built around the position. We go inside through the armored door. A huge riveted bed, base bolts, rails for carts for transporting shells - everything is like in old photographs. Unlike turret gun mounts, all loading and guidance operations were performed manually here. All drives have large two-person handles, chain drives and gears. What stands out in particular is the huge vertical lift drive gear. On the upper platform, right next to the gun, everything was also done by hand. I try to turn the large steering wheel of the lock closing drive. The gun lock turns slowly but easily, although it weighs about two tons. We climb up to the roof of the artillery block. Sergey takes a lot of photos, I go around the art block. On the second foundation, the tool is absent, only thick bolts sticking out of the concrete. Also on the second art block. On the island of Ere today there are two 305-mm cannons, the last of twenty open gun mounts installed in the Baltic during the First World War.
In January 1915, the commandant of the sea fortress of Peter the Great, Gerasimov, received an order from the commander of the fleet, N.O. von Essen begin construction of concrete foundations for American 234/50 cannons on the island of Ere.
Russian engineers, hundreds of soldiers and Finnish workers arrived on the island. The construction of a four-gun 9.5-inch battery began at a haste pace. In September 1915, rock work on battery No. 60 was completed. However, it soon became clear that instead of the American 234/50 guns, 305/52 single-gun mounts on the central pin would arrive here. It was necessary to make changes to the project, fortunately, the amount of alterations was insignificant.
First of all, the foundations of 305-mm guns were built in order to quickly give the scope of work to the specialists of the Petrograd Metal Plant for the installation of gun mounts. When the foundations were ready, they proceeded to the construction of concrete artillery blocks, which housed ammunition cellars, shelters for personnel and premises for battery services. In total, two artillery blocks were built, in each of which there were two positions of 305-mm open artillery mounts. The artillery blocks were separated from each other at a distance of about 100 meters. By the beginning of navigation in 1916, battery No. 60 of four 305/52 guns had entered service. With a firing range of 140 kb. (against 98 kb. at 234/50) its value increased and it became possible to create an advanced position).
At the same time, two more coastal batteries of smaller caliber guns were being erected on the island of Ere. On the southern, rocky coast of the island - battery No. 61, consisting of four 152-mm Canet guns, on the north-western coast of Ere, in the forest - battery No. 59, four 120-mm guns. 305-mm battery No. 60 of Ere Island (Er battery) and 305-mm battery No. 39 of Dago Island (Takhkon battery) became the main points of the Forward Mine-Artillery Position of the Baltic Fleet (Amirkhanov).
After inspecting the positions of the 60th battery, we go by car to the south of the island of Ere. The forest ends, there are only gray rocks around. At the very sea, the positions of the 61st battery. Immediately you will not even notice the gun yards made of granite stones, they are so naturally built into the surrounding area. Racks for shells and shelters for personnel are also made of stones. In some places, inside the stone dugouts, old log cabins... The same gray granite landscape around, no trees, small islands on the left on the horizon, and the clear, endless Baltic Sea in front. The gunners who served here almost 90 years ago saw it the same way. Days, months, years, constant observation of the sea, training of servants of guns, no radio and newspapers, the only connection with the garrison, probably, the field telephone. Service in the coastal artillery has always been difficult and responsible!
The car drives to the other end of the island, to the north. Stops in a deep forest, walk along a slippery, moss-covered path. There are piles of stones ahead. What is it? Positions! Completely preserved positions of the 59th battery! Four 120mm guns were mounted on temporary wooden bases. For 90 years, the top two rows of logs have decayed and exposed the padded cage at the base of the position. The logs were gone, but the bolts they held together remained in place. I looked for these bolts in all the Estonian islands, in all positions during the First World War on Ezele and Dago, but there every piece of iron from the batteries has long disappeared from the local farms. It is now clear how the Russian engineers built the temporary positions of the coastal batteries. This makes it possible to carry out a long-conceived project - to build a wooden base of the 152-mm Kane cannon on the island of Hiiumaa at the Lehtma pier. How much you can learn from an island located 80 km from Hiiumaa!
In the spring of 1918, the Russians left the island of Ere. It is believed that the guns were rendered unusable. The island was abandoned for some time, equipment and materials were taken apart. However, Ere was soon taken into the custody of the Finnish State Administration of war spoils. The state has paid compensation to the inhabitants of the island for the alienated land, and since then until the present day, Finnish soldiers have been stationed on Era.
In the 1920s, the 305-mm guns were restored (apparently the damage was not great) and introduced into the Finnish coastal defense. The Finns immediately finalized the open installations: the upper areas were covered with light armor to protect the personnel from shrapnel and from the highly changeable island weather. In the 1930s, two guns of the Er battery were dismantled (one from each artillery block), transported and installed at the newly built positions at Cape Ristiniemi (Cape Krestovy). In 1940, the Finns left those positions, having previously blown everything up thoroughly.
The Ersk cannons continued to serve on the island until the end of the 50s. In 1958, the battery conducted its last shooting practice. The Baltic Sea was declared the sea of peace. At this time, the entire Baltic was disarmed. Poland withdrew its batteries from the regions of Gdynia and Gdansk. The USSR dismantled all (!) Batteries on the Moonsund Islands, part of the batteries of Tallinn, Krondtstat, Liepaja and the defense zone of the Ibren Strait. The Soviet cannons were cut into scrap and sent to be smelted at the Sarkanais metalurgs plant in Liepaja. The Finns, however, were in no hurry to cut their guns. The guns were preserved, mothballed and are in good condition to this day.
The car returns to the military town. Guests are again treated to coffee and tea with a delicious cake baked in the soldiers' canteen. The Finnish lieutenant brings an album of old and new photographs of the life of the island garrison. As in any small town, here you carefully preserve everything that is connected with the history of your region. As parting, I hand over to the library of the garrison of the island of Ere the book "Batteries of Moonsund" with an insert, where they are translated into English all captions under the illustrations. Saying goodbye to the hospitable garrison of the island. The life of a War Man is subordinated to duty and service. I sincerely wish them a successful service on a small remote island, the same island where I spent my childhood, among the sailors-artillerymen, guns and rocky seashores.
And on Cape Tserel and on Cape Takhkuna, to attract tourists, someday, it will be necessary to build replicas, approximate copies of 305-mm guns. It's good that while there is where to copy - from the "cranes" of the island of Ere.

Forgive me, friends, such a banal headline! But Eryo is really one of the most beautiful places I have been able to visit lately. I love the northern nature and the northern sea (we even went to the Baltic on our honeymoon trip with my husband), but I often do not have enough time and willpower to refuse a trip to Italy or the warm sea for a visit to the cold, grassy shores. In a word, Eryo happened to me at the right time and became a real gift!
1. rø is one of the few Danish islands that is not connected to other islands by a bridge, so you need to get here by ferry. I sailed from Svennborg, the island of Funen, the harbor of which you see in the photo.
2. Here is the ferry, a real whopper! I've never swum on one.
3. It floats to Eryo for 75 minutes, at the beginning of its journey passing under such an elegant modern bridge connecting Funen with Langellan, which I have already told you about.
4. Only 6.5 thousand people live on the island, there are three cities, I visited two - in Marstal and Erskobing. I was surprised to learn that Marstal was for centuries one of the largest harbors in Europe, the center of shipbuilding. And now in the town with the population - attention! - 2395 people work at the shipyard.
7. In Marstal there is a maritime museum, absolutely incredible for such a tiny town. When I saw him, this one, as it seemed to me then, a toy house with a triangular roof, I grinned to myself, they say, well, and a museum! But when, half an hour later, I was turning the steering wheel in the captain's cabin in the same museum, which, as it turned out, occupies almost half of the city, I was no longer so categorical.
8. Everything that may interest you in connection with the ships and their construction is in the museum. If you want - models of ships and ships in bottles, if you want - historical documents, if you want - paintings, as well as parts of ships, sea nodes, inhabitants of the underwater world, sailors' cabins, a captain's bridge, a wardroom! In short, the Marstal Maritime Museum turned out to be the largest such museum in northern Europe!
9. I was completely fascinated by these beach houses on the shores of the Baltic Sea not far from Marstal. In one of them we found, you will not believe, the wedding celebration of a German couple! It also turned out that German citizens come to Eryo to marry foreigners (or foreigners), because on the island it is much easier to do this than in Germany itself.
11. I never get tired of being grateful to the weather, which gave me such clouds and absolutely amazing conditions for filming!
13. The water in the sea is 20 degrees, people are swimming!
15. And again the sea and the air smelling of herbs!
16. Almost Tuscany!
18. The sky was fantastic that day!
19. One of the best places to dine on the island is the Rise Brewery Restaurant.
20. That was my lunch: everything on one plate, from salmon to local cheese with rhubarb and apple jam. And of course beer, which is brewed here in several varieties, and delicious Danish bread. What amazing bread in Denmark you can't imagine! I adore bread, and therefore I could not help but pay attention to it.
22. I dined in the fresh air, under an apple tree, and there were 2 cat-thieves walking around!
23. Guests are asked not to feed them, but this is not required - the cats will find food for themselves! Here he is, lying content.
24. Due to its small size and almost flat terrain, rø is an excellent destination for cycling. From the brewery to röskobing, where the ferry from Fühn stops, it is only about half an hour's quiet drive with stops for filming.
25. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to ride a bike to the sea along this beauty!
28. And here comes the sea again!
29. Another beach house.
30. The Danes are simply obsessed with the environment, which cause great respect in me. Eryo, for example, is home to one of the world's largest solar power plants. Sheep graze idyllically next to the solar panels.
31. And here is Öröskobing, a tiny town with a population of less than 1,000 and considered the best-preserved small town in Denmark. Everything about him is okay, everything is pleasant.
36. These are not decorations, this is actually the case!
37. Erskobing has one drawback - there are few inhabitants in the city, and therefore the streets are unusually deserted. I think if you get here in cloudy weather, the mood will be completely different.
