RR: Mountain biking in Denmark
Just finished uploading my RR, had to make room on my makeshift website,
so give it a look and let me know what you think. Due to the RR containing a good deal of pictures I have decided not post the text on it's own, it would make less sense that way. Please be patient when reading, my english is far from perfect and the pictures will take a little time to load if you have a slow connection. http://users.cybercity.dk/~dsl45720/rr/rr1.html Kind regards Bruno |

Beautiful place. Kind of reminds me of this place in Virginia http://www.panoramatrails.com/ click pictures link to see. I wish our streets were designed for bikes like in Denmark. Thank you. I can see why it reminds you of Virginia, except you seem to have a bit more hills. As for the bike lanes they are actually pretty common in many of the european countries, but most widespread in Denmark and Holland. Kind regards Bruno |

Are there any areas of what you'd call "wilderness" left in Denmark? Places that see human visits once a week at the most? -- -- Lynn Wallace http://www.xmission.com/~lawall "I'm not proud.

Looks lovely, good English. Are there any areas of what you'd call "wilderness" left in Denmark? Places that see human visits once a week at the most? There are few places on the mainland of Europe that could qualify for the description of "wilderness" as applied to much of the rest of the world. Thousands of years of western civilizaton has pretty much re-worked the landscape. Think of what Iceland once was, or as a more modern example, Madagascar has become. If denuded landscape is wilderness, they both qualify. Denmark might have more less-utilized areas, but they're probably islands that aren't easily reachable. But that's my own opinon from traveling throughout central western Europe. Other places (Scandanavian countries and Eastern Europe) probably have wilderness. nk 'got hitched in Esjberg' nk |

In the less populated area's of Denmark you can find places that are wilderness, but this is a small country so aren't many of them. There are a few places in Denmark were the nature is said to be untouched since the last ice age, but the woods I ride in are mostly man made. In fact many of the trees in the forrests around Copenhagen was planted early in the 19th century, as a reaction to the british terror bombing* Copenhagen in 1807 and the subsequent handing over of the danish fleet. The plan was to ensure raw material for future generations to build a new fleet. Building a 18th/19th century battle ship took around 1500 full size oak trees, and it takes around 140-150 years for a oak tree to reach full size. Before the trees grew up technology made wooden war ships obsolete and Denmarks role as a super power on the seven seas was never restored. So the trees are still here, most of them anyway, and the Napoleon wars is a long time ago. A little bit of the trees have been knocked over and sent to the US, to be used in the restoration of the Coronet. http://www.iyrs.org/coro1.htm Kind regards Bruno * More than 2000 civilians was killed and large parts of the city burnt to the ground by the british fire bombardment. |
