Fredericia: A walk along Skærbæk Beach

Skærbæk, Fredericia, Denmark

One of the best places to take Bølle and Bella for a walk is down by the beach at Skærbæk. There are lots of things to see, smell and do, including running out on the jetties and barking at the seagulls. Bella comes so close to the edge of the jetty, I often worry that she might jump. Once, when we were out walking by a lake, she accidentally fell into the water, and she was so startled that she forgot to swim, so I had to pull her up on her leash. Bølle, on the other hand, is afraid of water, and always keep at a safe distance.

Before we went home, we went to the fishmonger to buy plaice and fiskefrikadeller (panfried Danish fishballs), and for lunch, we had Fiskefrikadeller with chunky, yellow, Danish remoulade, and for dinner, we had plaice with lemon sauce and aspargeskartofler, a special kind of potatoes I don’t know the English word for. It’s a rather simple dish, but if you use good ingredients, it tastes divine.

Welcome to my blog about Denmark. I grew up in Denmark in a small town in Jylland, where the buses stop running at 6pm and people say hi to strangers. I later swapped quiet streets for city life and spent a couple of years in Copenhagen because at some point, every Dane needs their dose of bike lanes and overpriced coffee. This blog is my take on Denmark. From cozy cafés and local dishes to hidden spots and seaside towns, it’s a mix of nostalgia and new discoveries. Whether you’re planning a trip or just curious about how we do things up here in the north, here’s Denmark according to me.
