Choosing different routes when going out and going back home is exactly what I like to do on my road trips as well! Our reasoning seems to be very similar as well: to capture different roads for our road videos
I love that little detour you made toward the end of the video.
I was about to ask, "Are all those flat green landscape some kind of agricultural lands?" Then in the video, you gave the answer (most of them are farmlands). I am wondering, were there more trees around those areas in the past?
O yeah the whole country was more or less one big forrest at one time, but it gradually whent into making viking ships and warming ppls houses up, and build a firce navy which the English ended up stealing.
We was teaming up with the french, and the UK boys did not want our nice navy to side with frency, so they took or destroyed our navy and bombed Copenhagen, whitch i think was the first town or at least capitol to be bombed with rocket artillery.
And then came the agricultural revolution where most was put under the plow to a degree that the little "original" landscape we left have is mesured in a fjew football fields.
The topografi is for the most original, but the rolling hills are now covered in farmland.
It should be said that there is ongoing effords to undo some of the old mistakes, making bends in rivers again instead of strait canals - removing dams, and stopping pumps to let some reclaimed areas turn into swamp/marshlands again.
The marshes along some of the westcoast in Jutland is a major stop for many migrating birds on ther way to and from northern scandinavia, but a lot of it have been reclaimed in the old days.
All but 1 place the original salmon in the rivers is gone, and the 1 place where they did survive there was only a fjew handfull left to rescue.
For instance our largest river Gudenåen is now populated by hybrid salmon made with a mix of stock from the countries around us, and all the good spawning grounds in Gudenåen is still lost due to blocking of the river to drive mills and for water power.
I think in surface area we are still the most farmed country in the world.
Just zoom in on denmark using sattelite view, then you will see all fields and the forrests that is here is allso laid out in a unnatural way for the most.
