Where the road meets a bay, there is a house so beautiful.
In fact, there are two houses, together they make up Krikkebjerghuse. Follow the road and enter a crackling rural idyll that otherwise only exists in literature.
Two small white thatched houses are surrounded by their own lush vegetable gardens and fruit trees. Ducks and – if it has been a good year! – geese waddle around freely and chatter merrily. In the paddock not far from the house, sheep and goats bleat to the grunting of the pigs.
Take a seat on the bench outside the house. It wobbles a little on the uneven stone surface. Rest your legs with the cat on your lap. Step inside the cozy living room where the whole family sleeps at night. Test the bed and consider whether straw is really quite underrated by today’s manufacturers.
If the cold is tearing at the skin of your face, the good housewife has lit the wood-burning stove, and this is where the cat is to be found. Slumbering lazily with his legs curled up on the chair next to the warm wood-burning stove.
The daily chores of the homesteaders change with the seasons, and every day there is new work to do. Help the farmers feed the animals and enjoy the sight of the eager pigs running around like playful puppies. Lend a hand when the goat is being milked and you might get to taste the fresh sweet milk.
The two homesteads are reproductions of houses from the 1850s.
