Copenhagen was an exciting city but it was now time to move on. Next I would be going to the northernmost point on this trip: Gothenburg, Sweden. This would also have the distinction of being my first time ever visiting Sweden.

When we last left off, I had just boarded a train in Odense, Denmark, departing for Copenhagen at 12:57, after spending the morning in a railway museum.

My journey toward Denmark started on Monday morning as I left Dortmund. This weekend excursion in the Ruhr area was not really the goal of this trip; it was only a jumping-off point toward destinations further north.

Useless trivia: what’s the most populous metro area in Germany? Not city but metro (city + suburbs)? It’s not those of Berlin, Hamburg, or Munich, though those are the three biggest cities. The biggest metro is the Ruhr area, not based around a single big city but a cluster of smaller ones, the largest being Essen, Dortmund, and Duisburg. It's kind of like the American Rust Belt, in that its economy was historically based on industry and mining. What’s there to do there, for anyone just passing through? Not a whole lot, it seems, but it's a fine stop for a weekend while on the way somewhere else.
