I visit the old town of Lubeck and then catch the ferry to Denmark. Whilst waiting for the ferry I meet an Austrian chap named Johannus. We.cycle together to shelter by a lake where we set up camp for the night.
In Germany they used the geographical mile, which is defined as one fifteenth of a degree of latitude. This is four nautical miles exactly. The Danish mile was close to that, but not precisely the same.

Ah that shelter is epic. I remember your post on that. Never seen anything like that before! Clever ol danes!
Danish miles = about 7 km. Swedish miles = about 10 km
You won't believe it but I'm from upper Austria too XD. And guess who's my neighbor 🤔
