Start: Solrod Finish:  Copenhagen  Distance:  17 Total:  1922 Today’s walk from the suburban town of Solrod into Copenhagen was a piece of cake. I was slack packing plus there was a 30 MPH wind at my back. I made great time walking on a sidewalk all the way.  The day got started with a stop … Continue reading »

Start:  Solrod Finish:  Solrod Distance:  0 Total:  1905 Today I took the day off from walking.  It was a nice day here in Copenhagen where my hotel is located, and it would have been a good day to walk, but I took advantage of the sunshine, took the day off, and went looking around the … Continue reading »

Start:  Dalby Finish:  Solrod  Distance:  17 Total:  1905 Today I made it into the southern outskirts of Copenhagen. It was a beautiful day to walk, I knocked out another 17 miles, and I made a new friend along the way.  I got on the road at 8:30 this morning after a good night’s rest and … Continue reading »

Start:  Vordingborg  Finish:  Dalby Distance:  22 Total:  1888 I said in yesterday’s post the weather was forecast to be somewhat bad today, especially in the AM with a 90% chance of rain and showers until mid-afternoon. I got up this morning and it was beautiful outside.  I got on the road at 7:30 after a … Continue reading »

Start:  Sakskobing  Finish:  Vordingborg Distance:  21 Total:  1866 Today’s 21 mile walk took me deeper into the heart of Denmark’s farmland.  I had a fairly long day ahead of me, so I went down to breakfast at the hotel at their earliest time, 7:00. That got me out the door and on the road at … Continue reading »

Start:  Puttgarden, Germany Finish:  Sakskobing, Denmark Distance:  17 Total:  1845 Today’s walk was filled with some anticipation and anxiety, mostly due to the unknown situation I would encounter in Denmark. I had traveled in Greece, Italy, Austria and Germany before, but I have never been to Denmark. I am curious about their language, currency, road … Continue reading »

Start:  Heiligenhafen  Finish:  Puttgarden Distance:  17 Total:  1828 Today I reached another major milestone. I completed my walk across Germany by reaching the Baltic coastal town of Puttgarden.  It was 642 miles across Germany and it took 42 days to walk it, with 4 of those days being days off. Tomorrow I take a short, … Continue reading »

Start:  Lensahn Finish:  Heiligenhafer Distance:  15 Total:  1811 Today’s 13 mile walk through north German farmland ended up being 15 miles due to my not trusting the walking route Google Maps had in mind. Instead of the shorter walking route that traversed some wheat fields and woods, I picked the longer bike route that followed … Continue reading »

Start:  Sierksdorf Finish:  Lensahn Distance:  13 Total:  1796 Today was a short day, distance wise, but it took me most of the day to get it accomplished.  The day started with checking out of the hotel where I’d spent three nights in Lubeck. I wanted to stay there another night, but they were booked full … Continue reading »

Start:  Sierksdorf Finish:  Sierksdorf Distance:  0 Total:  1783 Today was a day off in, spent in the Northern German town of Lubeck. I made a good decision when I decided to walk yesterday and take today off because it started raining about lunchtime and I would have been wet if I’d been on the road.  … Continue reading »
