At last you have decided on the destination :-).
This would me on my list for Denmark Øresund Bridge I love bridges, high, long, beautiful or ugly all bridges in my opinion are worth a visit and this is the longest road & rail bridge in Europe.

We have a few more 18km Storebæltsbro and New Lillebæltsbro, but the Storebæltsbro cost around 30 euro to pass.

Grenen is the most northerly point in Denmark but also where two tidal parts of the North Sea meet. Only here at this point.

Thanks everyone!
Hi everyone,
Thank you all so much for your suggestions... and sorry that I've not been online to thank you all sooner!
casperghst42 - will check out the camping pass as we always camp... it's always sooooo much cheaper. And we only stay in a hotel for the last night!
Quandary - I was in Denmark years ago on a music tour and found it expensive then... especially the  ! Will also look out for the symbols of Hans Cristian Anderson in Odense. And yes... speaking the language will be fun!
pbekkerh - That castle look amazing... definately on the list! And will check out the Marguerit rute, what a great idea! Vikings are also on the list... don't think we could do Denmark without them! The mummy however looks a bit scary!
Milimut1 - Yip... eventually decided!  Yes... those bridges look rather amazing!
roadruns - That could be interesting, especially if it's windy... might get to see some big sea horses!
dave08 - intreaging area... don't think that the UK would let a huge rent free living area!
Time for some more reading and planning so that we get the most out of Denmark! Yay!

I think he found it a bit scary as well. He had his throat cut from ear to ear. He was probably sacrificed to the gods. Its probably the best preserved bog mummy in the world. Hair, nails, beard stubs and the last food he ate, is preserved. It was possible to determine that his hair was cut and he shaved 3 weeks before he died. He had arthritis and gum infections, even his fingeprints are quite clear.
"How old is he?"
"3006 years"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Well, he was 3000 years old, when I came here and I've been here for 6 years now"
We have another bog mummy in Silkeborg. He was hanged 2500 years ago.
Moesgård has a collection of viking runicstones and thousand of relics from big battles in the iron age about 2500 years ago
In Jelling, we have the "birth certificate" of Denmark. Two runicstones set about year 960 by the first danish king, a viking, Gorm den gamle (Gorm the old) and his son Harald Blåtand (Harald Bluetooth). On one of the stones is the oldest inscription with the name Danmark and a viking picture of Jesus, as christianity just arrived around this time

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
