About Me

My photo
We are now in Oz after two amazing years of traveling Europe in our home built plane. We met many fantastic people who we are proud to call friends and have gained a much better understanding of the similarities and differences between the cultures of the different European states as well as the history and geography that have lead to these differences. We enjoy meeting people with similar interests to ourselves and learning more about other cultures. Please let us know if you're going to be in Queensland and would like to catch up for a meal and a chat.

Hoegenaes airfield review

Long final for Hoegenaes' relatively long, smooth grass runways (600 - 800m)

Hoegenaes airfield is located really close in to town, which means that it probably won't be there in 10 years time.  In the interim it is a fantastic location with heaps for the visitor to do for easily 4-5 days, unfortunately we didn't have that long.

Hoegenaes is located very very close to Denmark, which means that the airfield sees a lot of international visitors.  It is also a busy training airfield.  This means that you meet many people at the airfield, all of whom are very nice, but the atmosphere is more business like than the smaller airfields.
Stunning sky, with CGOL wisely wrapped up for the night

About 6 rooms are available, each with a double bunk and a single bed.  Cost per bunk is quite high compared to the rest of Sweden / Denmark at 200 SEK per bunk.  BYO sheets and towels.  You can also camp.  Landing fee was in the usual region of 100SEK.

In short: great destination with lots of fun things to do.  It's not too far to travel from the rest of Europe either.
