"Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller",
by Ibn Battuta.
Our journeys are bold and ambitious, and perhaps the flagship of this homepage.
Although we are also trekking and island nerds, our journeys are sorts of trailblazing travel expeditions which are unique, challenging and adventurous, and thus they epitomize our spirit within adventure.
Often, the regions, countries and places we visit during our journeys take on an exotic quality. What matters is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. Often, we might have to overcome a bit of hardship and logistical challenges since our journeys most often don’t run smoothly. This is all part of the fun.
In our view, a journey is something you would recommend to others. To us, what really matters, is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. We are not talking about the ultimate expedition, but to move away from the familiar, out of the comfort zone, where everyday situations and events take on an exotic quality.

SMALL DANISH ISLANDS OFF THE RADAR
THE B-LIST: Day trips to tiny islets, holms, reefs and sandbanks in the Danish archipelago.
Our Ø-dyssey Part I-VI sites covers visits to 130 unique island destinations in the Nordic country of Denmark. There are however a bit more than 300 islands in total in Denmark. Some of the largest, approx. 10 islands such as Zealand, Funen and Falster, are quite big and not part of our Ø-dyssey adventure. Next up is the 115 islands that we carefully selected to comprise our Ø-dyssey island list. Finally, the remainder of islands in Denmark are all small rocks, sand banks or islets, all less than 0,1 square kilometres in size. Some of the islets disappear into the ocean over a decade such as Jordsand island which "sank" into the ocean some years ago... And some new islets arise. Actually, just the past couple of years, five new islands actually developed in Denmark. Typically these small islets are less distinct in their makeup and they may appear non-descript. They are obviously always non-populated.
We call these islets the B-List adventures in our Ø-dyssey. We don't count on visiting all of these islets. However, if we get close to one of these islets along the way, we tend to jump into a kayak or onto a stand up paddle board and visit it. The scope of this page is to present some of these small islets with pictures and short stories on how we got there. And whether the visit was worthwhile.

Categorizing 130 small islets in Denmark
Small islets distributed into six different geographical regions of the Danish Archipelago.

The kids also love such day trip adventures
...an offspring fjord on the larger Kolding Fjord. The Kidholmene is best approached on SUP from Skærbæk, but it can also be done from Nørre Bjert or Elvig Harbour.
There is a couple of smaller huts on the island owned by KFUM.
The Klosterholmen is best reached from Nibe, but it can also be done from Valsted. In the summertime, 15-20 cows are grazing on the island
This holm is more remote than Klosterholmen. It is best reached from the beach near Stavn. Nearby, the small Hornsgård Holm can also be reached.
In the south part of the vast Limfjord, it is most easily reached from Hvalpsund or Sundsøre on the other side of Hvalpsund. Kayak is the easiest way but with some stamina one could reach Rotholmene during summer on a SUP.
Borreholm is best approached from Aggerborg and Langhom just off the coast.
There are several to choose from: Munkholm, Rommerholm, Dueholm, Kåreholm. Kudeholm and Smedeholm. See also our Ø-dyssey on the other islands in Nakskov Fjord, i.e. Enehøje, Slotsø, Vejlø and Barneholmen which we visited sailing, kayaking and on SUP, too.
