Stauning is Denmark's big air museum and absolutely fascinating if you're into planes. I quite liked it, especially all the historical planes and the amazing old gliders, where you basically sat on a little plywood seat in the middle of the sky and had one ski on the bottom to land on. Wacky. Here are some pictures.

| see the ski and the little ply seat open to the elements! |
We stayed several days, as the weather was less ideal. One day was well spent at the museum, then Lars and Mercedes came to visit, so we never made it to the local town.

Stauning itself is a nice long tarmac runway. Landing fee approx. 85 DKK, the first night for a bunk in the pilot's cabin is 150 DKK (20€) per person, which is higher than average & contrary to what is indicated on their website, subsequent nights are cheaper. 2 plate electric hob, coffee machine, fridge & television all available, but you need to fiddle a bit to make the TV work. If you stay at the cabin you can also use their bicycles for free.
