Fire in a Caravan in Hvalsø

On Wednesday afternoon, police and fire services responded to a fire in a caravan at a campsite on Gundestedvej in Hvalsø.

Danish family travels Europe in motorhome for second year

The Brock Christensen family sold their house in Denmark and have been traveling Europe in a motorhome for two years, visiting 19 countries. The father works remotely as a salesperson, while the mother homeschools their three children.

The rule of thumb every motorhome owner should know

Bridgestone technician Christian Jensen reminds motorhome owners to regularly check their tires. In Denmark, driving is allowed on public state, municipal, and private common roads, but prohibited on forest roads. Overnight stays on public parking lots are permitted only if no camping activities (such as setting up an awning, table, or chairs) take place. It is recommended to check tire pressure monthly, with a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm and an optimal depth of 3 mm, and tires should be replaced every 4–5 years.

Search for house from Henning Jürgensen's painting: new lead

A viewer tip led to Gammelbro Camping in Aarøsund, where the building depicted in Henning Jürgensen's painting might be located. However, campsite owner Jacob Knudsen and local archivist Eigil Schmidt do not recognize the manor as the painting's subject, citing discrepancies in details such as dunes and a three-wing layout. Schmidt suggests the sought-after house may be on Denmark's west coast, in the Holmsland and Hvide Sande area.

Politician refuses to send parking attendants to the beach

Campground owner outraged by illegal motorhome parking on the coast

Henrik Lund, owner of Lysabildskov Camping and Feriecenter, found ten motorhomes, three tents, and several cars at the popular Pøls Rev beach during the first weekend of May, outnumbering his own guests. Camping in natural areas is prohibited in Denmark unless explicitly signed, but Lund says the phenomenon is spreading across the entire Als peninsula. Sønderborg municipality representative Kirsten Bachmann acknowledged the issue and plans to direct campers to official sites, though she is uncertain about deploying parking enforcement in rural areas.
