Contemplating a trip this July. Here's a sketch of what we're thinking. Any ideas welcome.
Copenhagen or Rosklide - 3 nights (1 travel day by plane + 2 full days)
Aarhus - 3 nights (1 travel day by car with possible stops on the way at Odense/Egeskov Castle + 2 full days)
Dalen, Norway - 2 nights (1 travel day to Hirtshals ferry by train and then by car from Kristiansand to Dalen + 1 full day)
Bergen, Norway - 3 nights (1 travel day by car + 2 full days)
Stockholm - 3 - nights (0.5 travel day by plane + 2.5 full days)
We're less about art museums and Michelin starred restaurants than history and culture - so thinking about staying outside of Copenhagen rather than in it. Any thoughts are welcome. For a similar reason, we're skipping Oslo.
For those unfamiliar with Dalen - it's a stay at the Dalen Hotel by the Telemark Canals - just a drop of luxury in the middle of the trip.
We have friends in Stockholm who will host us and show us around.
Would have loved to at Ribe, Denmark and Stavanger, Norway, but they didn't really fit and it would extend our time.
We'd only have a car in Roskilde (assuming we stay there) and Dalen.
