'Hindsløkken' - the street I grew up on - Verninge

It's amazing....

...how you can find every tiny village of the world here at VT.
I even managed to find Verninge - the VERY small danish village were I grew up and went to school for nine years.

Even though I like this place for what it is...believe me, this is NOT a place for tourists :0)

So my Verninge-page is more ment as a joke actually...

But I can say that it's located at the big Island Fyn in the middle of Denmark, and close to Tommerup which is a little larger. Verninge is a 20-minute drive from Odense which is the third biggest city in Denmark, and were I live now.

My parents still live in Verninge, so I get the chance to go back once in a while, and that's nice.

The village has a cozy little school, a church, a soccer club, some farms and a few shops.

Sunset over the fields

The sun can be seen from everywhere :0)

One evening I took my bike around the village and got this shot of a sunset over the fields.

The pond in Langsted

Isn't this idyllic?

This is the pond in the neighbour-village Langsted.
In cold winthers it's sometimes possible to skate here.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Cozy and quiet little village near Odense, lovely nature and fresh air
Cons:Too quiet to live here for good
In a nutshell:A nice place to grow up as a kid
