Fire in caravan: owners barely escaped

A motorhome has broken down on the Øresund Bridge, blocking one lane. Speed has been reduced on the section. The incident occurred on Sunday, according to the Danish Road Directorate.

Arla Foods has agreed to purchase Hobro City Camping, located next to the Hobro Mejeri dairy. The acquisition is intended to allow for future expansion of the dairy. The campsite will continue operating until the takeover, which must occur by December 31, 2026. Arla states that no final decision has been made on the future use of the site.

Denmark is among the European countries best suited for combining motorhome travel with cycling. The country has over 12,000 km of marked cycling routes, with many campsites and motorhome stops located near these trails. Short distances, flat terrain, and developed infrastructure allow using the stop as a base for day trips. Notable routes include the Baltic Sea coast, the island of Funen, the west coast of Jutland, and Copenhagen's cycling infrastructure.

For World Bicycle Day, a selection of ten accessories for cyclists has been presented. Among them is the folding mini-caravan Wide Path Camper, designed and produced in Denmark, weighing about 45 kg and towable by a standard bicycle. When folded, it is compact; in three minutes it transforms into a sleeping area for two and a dining space for four.

The Knudsen family has operated Gammelbro Camping in Aarøsund near Haderslev for 63 years. Now, 32-year-old Jacob Knudsen has become co-owner and daily manager. The campsite, located on the Little Belt strait, was named Denmark's best for the second time (previously in 2019). Jacob Knudsen plans to develop the site while respecting its history.

On Wednesday afternoon, police and fire services responded to a fire in a caravan at a campsite on Gundestedvej in Hvalsø. Firefighters arrived quickly but could not save the caravan; by the time police arrived, it was completely burned out, and the fire was under control. A fellow camper noticed smoke and alerted emergency services via 112. No one was inside the caravan at the time of the fire, and the owner was subsequently informed. Police fire investigators will examine the scene to determine the cause.
