We took a ferry from Aarhus to Odde in Sjaelland on a long narrow peninula and stopped the car to walk on the northern beach of a sea called Kattegat.
It was a warm, sunny day there--but brisk and windy later in Copenhagen.
On that beach were many large chunks of glassy flintstone in black and reddish brown. Material for axes and the tips of spears, I realized, and picked up several stones.
Later in the day we visited the National Museum of Denmark, where the prehistoric exhibit showed many flint tools and said the flint was found on northern beaches of Sjaelland.
Never have I seen knife-sharp flint on any other beach.
