Re: Going to FLUCK

Try www.db.de (deutsche bahn's homepage), and write that you are going
from wien to kopenhagen, then it works
(and if you get more choices of stations in copenhagen then koebenhavn
H is the one)
From copenhagen to fakse ladeplads you need to take another train, but
a ticket to koebenahvn H works almost all the way to fakse ladeplads,
so wait with worrying about that🙂

Thank you for that. It doesn't give me the fare, though. Says it's
unknown. I've checked out some other sites, like EuroRail and it seems
like the fare is around $400. Much cheaper to fly straight to
Copenhagen.

So, I booked the ticket today. Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

The ticket is from 9th to 16th. Does anyone have any advice on what to
do on the 9th? I'm thinking spend the day in Copenhagen and take the
evening train to Fakse. Would they accept me one day early?

By the way, how do you pronounce Fakse Ladeplads?

Ivan, I'll be arriving in Copenhagen on the 9th too. I plan on spending
the night there, experiencing the city as much as I can in the time
I've got and then heading to the convention in the morning.

Cool, what time are you arriving? Do you want to meet up somewhere? My
plane should be landing about 9 in the morning. So, I've got most of
the day free, pretty much.

Also, a few questions to Denmarkians. How's the crime in Copenhagen and
Flakse? Can I get by with English and some basic German? Are there any
important things that I better find out from others rather than by
experiencing them myself?

I dont know what statistics about crime says, but my experience is that
both copenhagen and fakse ladeplads are very safe..
Dont try to speak german to danes, stay with the english, everybody
except old people and young children understand and speak english.

In copenhagen you should visit Christiania, and you can also go to
frederiksberg and see where unicon is going to be held next year if you
are curious... Copenhagen is a very nice city maybe i good idea would
be just to get a map and take a walk around the city, you can probably
find some good trial places to, if you are interested in that

And how to pronounce fakse ladeplads: ... Well, we can teach you when
you get here🙂

I'm thinking of staying at a hostel overnight and going to Fluck in the
morning, to arrive on the dot.

Some more questions(and I really appreciate you answering, as I'm sure
many other people who'll be going do). How should I get around when in
Copenhagen? Is there some sort of cheap daily bus pass that I can get.
Also, would they allow my 24" muni on the bus?

And when I go by train to Flakse, am I gonna have to dissasemble my uni
and put it back in the suitcase or can I just take it on the train
assembled?

Also, what are the good places to look for trial spots?

What will the weather be like? I mean, what kind of clothes should I
bring?

the best way to get around in copenhagen would be to walk or ride a
unicycle, the bus/metro/train tickets are kind of expensive and things
are lying pretty close to each other..
You can also rent a bike and get around on that, which is the easiest
and fastest way to get around, but probably a little difficult with a
unicycle.. And i dont know what it costs.
If you want to go by train/metro/bus you can by a ticket that allows
you to get around in the center of copenhagen in one hour that costs
about 20 dkr, or you can buy a ticket that lasts in 24 hours and allows
you to get around in Copenhagen and the northern part of zealand that
costs 105 dkr as far as i remember. Maybe that is an idea if it can
last until you go to fakse ladeplads, cause you can go almost all the
way down there on that ticket, and a normal one way ticket would be
something like 50-70 dkr.

It is no problem to bring a unicycle in the train and in the metro, and
you dont need to put it in your suitcase.
If you travel by bus in copenhagen they might say something, but you
never know... i traveled with my unicycle a couple of times on the bus
and nothing ever happened.

The weather can be cold and rain full, or it can be hot and sunny, so
bring all kind of clothes, it can change from one day to another

Trial spots, i have no idea, i dont do trial so havent been looking,
but ask Kristian, or just take a look around and see what you find🙂

Yes, it's good to get to know all this information about Denmark and
the area...

I'll definitely pay a visit to the Copenhagen zoo. Seems really cool.
I'll locate the place where Tasmanian devils are, spot the coolest one
and try to have a conversation with him. I'll be calling him Tom, after
one famous Tasmanian devil friend of mine.

I've never been asked to pay for my freestyle uni as long as it wasn't
in anyones way, but if you go by the book your uni must be smaller than
100x60x30 cm to qualify as luggage when you go by train/metro. You can
always bring a wrench and an allen key and take off the saddle and the
pedals if they give you any trouble. Cokers are bikes 🙁 and need a
seperate ticket (price 20 kr).

Copenhagen zoo, huh? Is it famous? Normally, I like to visit the
historic buildings when I go to a new city especially if I'm there only
for a day or two. I need to start looking into Denmark.

I'd also like to make a side trip to another nearby country if
possible. I've always wanted to go fishing in Finland.

Well, apparently, Copenhagen zoo is the only zoo in the world outside of
Oz that's got Tasmanian devils. That decided it for me. I've gotta see
Tom!

If I go around Copenhagen with my uni, can I just lock it to a bike
rack somewhere if I need to? You probably have many of those. Is it
likely to be stolen?

Double shucks.

Sounds like you are in for a sweet trip Ivan! i might just find out how
much it would cost for me to fly over there.. just out of interest
sake.
i will find a Devil here and when you find yours we can channel through
them and have a conversation 🙂

i am not sure if FlUCK is aware of how close it is to being a naughty
word.
