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 The Heart of Jutland. I grew up in a small village just outside Fredericia, so this part of Denmark has always had a special place in my heart. Even after many years of traveling around the world, this is still where I feel at home. Fredericia is the city where I spent most of my childhood, and it is also the place I think of as home when people ask where I’m from. Later in life I worked at the hospital in nearby Kolding, and for several years I flew out of Billund Airport as cabin crew. Through work, family, and everyday life, I have therefore spent a lot of time in this area and had plenty of opportunities to explore the towns, the countryside, and the coastline. There is truly a lot to experience here. Historic towns, beautiful nature, great restaurants, and plenty of things to see and do. It is also one of the easiest parts of Denmark to visit, whether you are flying into Billund or traveling through Jutland. Here on the blog I share my favorites from the Heart of Jutland. The restaurants I keep coming back to, cafés that are worth a stop, and the places and experiences I would recommend if you want to discover some of the best that the Heart of Jutland has to offer.
