"Scandinavian summer is a thing of great beauty, something author and regular Women Who Travel guest Dorthe Nors can attest to. Nors is back on the podcast to tell Lale about the rhythms of her life at her summer cottage in Denmark by the North Sea-from the long hikes she takes through the surrounding bird reservation to combat writer's block (she says she cannot write without hiking) to the small dune with a view on which she sits and reads."
"Where are you right now? You are in a cottage. DN: I have a cottage by the North Sea. The cottage that we are going to talk about today was something I inherited a couple of years ago and I use it a lot. It's in a bird reservation. It's so sacred. You can't build anything there. It's wildlife, and nature, and the ocean, and fjords, and very isolated."
The cottage sits by the North Sea on Jutland's west coast near Harboore, located within a protected bird reservation where building is prohibited. The property was inherited a few years earlier and is used frequently for rest and work. Long hikes across the reservation function as an essential remedy for writer's block and are indispensable for creative work. A small dune overlooking the sea serves as a favored reading spot. The cottage carries a shameful history that is acknowledged rather than ignored. Practical considerations include how one can acquire a Danish summer cottage of one's own.
