Seaside Hotel or Badehotellet
Amazon Prime had an offer for Season 1 of Seaside Hotel so I thought, why not?
It is a delightful series and one I am really happy I found. In the series, the woman go to Skagen for a girl's afternoon out. Never heard of it.
But in usual Pat fashion -- I knew nothing about that part of Denmark. I marveled while looking a the pictures of sea oats and sand dunes that look just like the Georgia Coast. Naw, this is Denmark -- where did they film it? Denmark is cold. It couldn't possibly have sand dunes and sea oats --- I investigated.
With my old friend Google Maps, I first had to locate Jutland. Silly me, I checked the south side of Denmark first. Finally I just asked and there it was -- way up on the tip top part.

In reality, the show was filmed in Jammerbugten. The hotel is a set. But Skagen is real. Anyway, here are a few things I discovered.
There really are some adorable beach cottages.

Interesting Natural Occurrence
There is a place where two seas meet. Grenen, north of the town of Skagen is the northerner most place in Denmark. Here you walk out on a sandy sand bar and see the Baltic and North seas meet. I was amazed by the color of the water -- almost like a tropical ocean.

Weather
All this is beautiful and the beaches are gorgeous. However, being a person from the Southern United States, even these summer temps in Skagen are a bit chilling...brrrrr

I loved the series and hope there is more. I really learned a lot about I place I know very little about.

I’m curious to know where the building is that is shown as the exterior of the hotel. I realize it’s not a hotel and that interior scenes are filmed elsewhere, but I wonder where the building is.
ReplyDeleteOt only gets to 67F at the height of summer. Too cool for mr!
ReplyDeleteI think it's perfect! 🩵
DeleteI think i read that they digitally expanded an existing structure -- cannot remember where I read that.
