- We experience relaxing hygge day walking through Ribe and visiting the Christmas market. It was nice and relaxing and super cool to walk around the oldest city in Denmark. We can't wait to go back in the summer when things are even more active!

Nice that you finally visit Ribe. It is such a historic city. Allso in the Summer time you should visit Rømø and spend some time on the insane beach there and see the Island. You should have stopped by Rødding only 20 km east of Ribe and see the world's first Højskole and the 900 year old church. Thank you for doing these videos they really show the parts of Denmark we all love.
We definitely want to go back in the summer where there is even more to do. A really cool part of Denmark.
I don't know how it is in these covid times, but there is also the vægter-tur in the summer evenings
Omg... thats the town i grew up in... I lived in the alley where you were talking.. my parents still live there and my bf and I are going for Christmas 🎄☃️❄😍
Awesome, have a great time. Merry Christmas!
Just been to Denmark to see my best friend for the first time in 2 years. We went to Ribe and stayed at the same resort. Saw lots, explored Ribe and lots of other place. So nice to see others enjoying it too :)
Very cool, that resort was nice and an easy walk to the city. We will go back to do more :).
LOL at "the nightmare bridge" - I take it, it's storebælt haha that was a new one.
Ohh welcome to Ribe, my town where I lived for 47 years :)
Next time, give a call. We live here in Ribe and know the city like our own home, and all the history that comes with it.
Fun fact about most older places in Denmark. Since we had a few wars with Sweden, most of the places that were built for defensive use were burned to some extent. So that means that the infrastructure is very diverse in terms of when they were built back, so there is almost always a part of town that is from before the wars and after.
Love Ribe. Went to School there in the 80’s. So many wonderful places to see and visit. Glad you enjoyed the trip.
(The bridges between the lands were not built yet when I was there, we had to take the ferries).
Ribe is fantastic during the summer, especially climbing the church tower and watching the marsh land and small canals that surround the city.
We actually have records of Ribe dating back to 703. The city is older than Hambourg & Bremen, and was founded before Charlesmanges conquest of Saxony.
Ribe is the oldest known city in continental nothern europe. Coins where minted in Ribe in the 730's.
Hold kæft hvor jeg elsker Danmark mit fædreland. Her har jeg sgu hjemme. Dejlig kanal og fedt at i laver videoer om Danmark. Det er en sjældenhed ;)
Reminds me that I need to Wham my dad! Ty!
Should have known you were in Ribe. I live in the city, my father is working at the church and he's also a night watchman. Been seeing your channel for a while. :)
I love George Michael and Wham! He was such an inspiration. Philanthropist, songwriter and singer. The profit from Last Christmas was actually given to the less fortunate. Nice to see you had a great trip to Ribe :-D
I love George Michael and was so so sad when he passed away 😭😭 I listened to his Listen Without Prejudice album non stop when it came out - M
@@TravelinYoung Yeah me too. Very sad indeed. I`ve been and fan since 1983 when I was 11 :-D
that video just shows how much we change but also how much we still are the same. and keep our history because it matters.
What can i say. Just another banger. Happy christmas guys
Thanks, same to you!
Ribe, the biggest and most important city of trade in all of Scandinavia in the viking age.
0:46 thats awesome, I used to walk on that bridge everyday to go to school. Lovely city. Make sure to visit it on a hot summerday and grap an old fansioned icecream by the stream!
So fun to see you in my hometown! You should definitely go back in summer, and then make sure to visit the Vadehavsmuseum and the gorgeous (and very flat) nature out there. Tønder is also worth a visit, that's only about 5 minutes from the border with Germany (Ribe is about an hour).
Glühwine and Gløgg is very similar but not quite the same. :)
I once created a video to show some Americans a bit of Randers, and one clip included an old building which was presented with the words: "Some of our buildings are older than your country" 😂
I have seen a lot of Movies from British pathe about Denmark . Mostly holidaymovies. Very entertaining
Agreed, I love them!
Merry X-Mas all
Thanks, same to you!
Haha - I absolutely treasure all news and thoughts from Josh about the nightmare bridge!
Poor Miranda for getting Whammed. I managed to get through to Christmas Day last year, and I'm still holding up this year ...
Ribe is a nice place. And WELL DONE for getting across the Nightmare Bridge in rain and wind. I would never have managed that.
Recent rumours on the internet reveal that the Travelin' Young family is secretly a big fan of Wham and especially their greatest hit "Last Christmas". Some witnesses even say that it is their favourite music for Christmas hygge.
😂
Went to Gymnasium in Ribe. The only town down that part of Denmark that I actually want to live in 😂
great work as always - thanks
Thank you :).
My town , nice 👍
It’s a cool place :). We can’t wait to get back.
In regards to that little British pathe sketch and its storks its actually rather sad. In the past Storks were an incredibly common bird in Denmark, being seen in all corners and being a common side on chimneytops. Even as recently as the 1960's when the Pathe films were filmed there were still a decently sized population left. But the drainage of swampland for farming and rapid development of suburbs around cities meant their habitat almost entirely disappeared and today the Storks are an incredibly endangered species in the country, despite once being so iconic and common. Some efforts to make storks return have come with modest success but its still moving at a very slow pace, and as recent national news about a Danish stork dying while on winter migration to Uganda shows, there is a big focus on the birds and trying to make sure there is a stork population for the future.
There should also be some nature projects coming soon that should help a ton. The new Søborg Sø in Nordsjælland in particular being a good example. That one was drained in the 1800's to make farmland which is now infertile. A shallow swampy lake like that when returned to that state should be prime territory for storks.
Ribe is also known as Scandinavians oldest town
The is a place in the old city where the height of floods can be seen.
Having visited Ribe, you should look up Jacob Riis, a migrant from that city who, among other things, became good buddies with Theodore Roosevelt and did a lot of good things for poor people in the US.
Also called whamageddon, I lost a few days ago when they played it while in fitness center. That was brutal.
I love nibe and love the architecture there, I have stayed at hotel dagmar it’s a really old hotel that is preserved. If you have been in there you almost feel drunk due to the crooked floors.
Yeah, for this trip we decided to mostly walk around and look at the buildings. They are super cool and crooked :).
Next time you visit Ribe you should go out to the castle ruins, which is a fantastically beautiful statue of Queen Dagmar.
Follow the Quay out past the storm surge pillar, it's a slightly long walk.
I knew that RIbe is the oldest town in DK. Surprised to learn , that it's actually the oldest town i Scandinavia 😲 !! Yeah! Fresh Æbleskiver are the way to go :-) ! The Frozen - Store bought - ones are absolutely (you know)....! Yeah! Totally Hate to get "Whamed" 👎 ! It's like the only X-mas song they EVER play here, the entire month 😔 ! When ever it comes on, I immediately change to any other channel 😀 !!
I live in Ribe
Officially not been 'whammed', as yet..but still a long way to Juleaften!
On the other hand, I have been 'rockin' around the Christmas tree' a few times!
😖 Thát song is more of a pet peeve! 😡
Ribe is quaint, definitely go back in the summer and visit the islands close by 🌊🌞🚜
hello from Hundested 🌸 ❄
Welcome to The town :D
Love seein' you guys enjoying all the christmas events and markets in Denmark :)
If you want an idea for something different, I would suggest taking a trip to Malaga in Spain around christmas. We do this every year (except for 2020, for obvious reasons). It's a wonderful city, lots of history, good food and a lot of festive christmas traditions. And also - they spend the most on christmas decorations and lights of any city in the EU - I think it is.
We just returned from there today - and I will wholeheartedly recommend it. It's cheap to go and rent and apartment around Xmas - because it's not that touristy. You will not get Wham'd - but you will get Mariah Carey'd.. A lot.
We actually spent Christmas in Malaga a number of years ago. It was wonderful! Went all over southern Spain and then trained up to Barca for New Years. One of our favorite trips :).
@@TravelinYoung I love it :)
Oh, Nice, you made it to my childhood town. :-) I can recommend the Jacob a. Riis Museum (Since you are from the US), or the Witch Museum, when you come back. I think Glühwein is something reletively new, When I lived there, it was Gløgg Only.
Just joined your channel , maybe you already have been doing a complete video in danish.. if not, please try ... just a short one ( I know danish sucks to learn , but it could be fun )
glühwein is not entirely the same as gløgg but it's pretty close and it tastes really really good :D
My birthplace - weehaa
You are so near the island I come from (Fanø). Now I live i Sweden, but when I was a kid I could see Ribe domkirke from
the window in Sønderho where my grandparents lived. You should visit Fanø next summer you would like it.
It is *possible* that we went there as well. Stay tuned next week :).
@@TravelinYoung I look forward to next week :) Keep up with the good work you doing :)
I think they have a kite festival on Fanø every year. Could be worth a visit.
@@davidpax 38. INT. kite fliers meeting Fanø 16. - 19. Juni 2022 :)
We're getting Wham'ed here too, guys. My friend first Wham'ed me 28th of November, luckily that didn't count, but the 1st of December, my wife did it to me. So I didn't last very long. #whamed2021
No!!!
I got whammed last Sunday at my sister’s Advents party 😔
My condolences ;).
@@TravelinYoung well, at least Whamhalla is full of wonderful people ;)
in denmark it's not getting whammed, it's whamageddon :) and only the original will boot you from the game
No one know what is the oldest in Scandinavian, we build out of wood, it don`t last 1000+ years.
They actually do know. Towns were not the norm in Scandinavia at that time. They might discover an older town at some point but for now it´s Ribe. They can tell where the houses were by the wood posts decaying in the ground and determine the age by objects found and carbon dating.
@@landersen8173 "They might discover an older town at some point " as in they don`t "They actually do know."
Can you please name some small towns in Denmark that have Christmas markets?..we don't want city Christmas markets.. visiting I December 2024.😊thanks
If the bridge is such a nightmare... why dont you just use the ferry?
Because there’s no ferry route from Sjælland to Fyn and going all the way to Aarhus is way out of the way
@@TravelinYoung You could go south - through Zealand, down to Tårs, jump on the ferry to Spodsbjerg and voilà - you'd be on Langeland. From Langeland there are, admittedly, *three* bridges before you reach Fyn, but they are very small and manageable - not at all like the Nightmare Bridge. Of course, this route is somewhat longer.
I have lived in China for 3 yers and I never got that intergreted.
im very jealue of the picasio and walnut cakes. its not fun driving on the brige when its windy, everytime u come out of the pillars and the car moves. braaah.
huh it is weird seeing your own house on camera
Im from Denmark and u think its the best land
Are you exploring more in DENMARK? I'm new around here, but I'm curious about many many places there... Bøernehølme??? My family are Christensen's and they came from all over DK. However I am most intrigued with hearing about the war between Svenske and Danske regarding that island. 🤔 Anyone have any information for me? I would love to hear about it. 😇 Thank you in advance.
Think you mean Bornholm.
Bornholm is a little island beneath Sweden and to the east of Denmark.
Swedish forces conquered the island in 1645, but returned the island to Denmark in the following peace settlement. After the war in 1658, Denmark ceded the island to Sweden under the Treaty of Roskilde along with the rest of the Skåneland, Bohuslän and Trøndelag, and it was occupied by Swedish forces. A revolt broke out the same year, culminating in Villum Clausen's shooting of the Swedish commander Johan Printzensköld on 8 December 1658. Following the revolt, a deputation of islanders presented the island as a gift to King Frederick III on the condition that the island would never be ceded again. This status was confirmed in the Treaty of Copenhagen in 1660.
During WW2 it was captured (along with Denmark) by Germany on 10 April 1940, and served as a lookout post and listening station during the war, as it was a part of the Eastern Front.
Later it was heavily bombarded by the Soviet Air Force in May 1945. Soviet forces left the island on 5 April 1946, though the rest of Denmark had been liberated on the 5th of May that same year.
If you wanna know more you can always look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bornholm
One thing about America is the diversity. We have so many cultures that most of us don’t actually have one specific culture. Anyway, how many different races did you see today?
Heyy
Is it ok to play Last Christmas at the retirement home?
Haha, good question.
Oh my goodness, that's hilarious 😂
Denmark looks so grey. You need snow:-)
Haha, yeah, kinda gray in the winter.
That ship has sailed unfortunately. Due to climate change, snow is now rare in Denmark
Though rare, it is snowing right now :).
