Out and About Once Again (7/14/24)

The sun is shining off and on once again in Solrød after a few days of raininess. We were under a severe rain alert from 8 pm Friday, and yesterday it rained steady with some heavy spells from early morning until after 5 pm. It made for a lazy day though we did get some upcoming travel planning done and got both dog walks in.

This morning I had a slug and snail avoidant run, as I often do here, as I don’t want to accidentally hit any of them. Speaking of snails, we saw one with a fairly large shell on our walkabout today.

Solrød has a number of walking/biking paths, as we’ve mentioned. Some of them are designated by colored symbols (green, gray, black, blue, and red), and we snapped a photo of a small map the other day, which has three of the routes. The map would also be more helpful, if it indicated where you were on the map or had some street markings or other landmarks, but we thought we’d head out today to find a way-marked post and then see if we could follow the route.

We weren’t entirely successful, but we had a good walkabout anyway following some of the green route and much of the blue. We continue to be impressed with the cleanliness of the area, the number of paths for pedestrians and cyclists, the variety and ease of using public transportation, and access to an airport. These are many of the factors we are wanting in the next place we settle. I still haven’t decided about the climate, and we would definitely need to work on our Danish language skills.

Scenes from today’s walk.

This is a playground used by the nearby school.
It looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen in the US.
The local library. They have a photography exhibit
of each of the businesses in the town center.
A bookshelf sculpture
A cafe and wooden sculptures as you walk through a nature park towards the beach (but still a good bit from the proper beach).
In a language of long words, this is one of the longest we’ve seen.
