An adventurous travel show with two hosts who go around the world and try to encourage the viewers to travel to new destinations and in new ways. Sometimes the best experience is in the worst starting point.
2019
In Albania, Jan and Morten check into one of the country's most haunted hotels, taste the most exotic delicacies and delve into the communist past, where the dictator Envar Hoxha ruled for over 40 years.
Jan and Morten go on a road trip in Georgia in a wobbly Lada Niva, where the end goal is a 40 meter high cliff that they hope to climb. On the way, they visit Stalin's birthplace, Gori, where the former dictator is hailed as a folk hero, and then they struggle to keep their blood alcohol levels down when Georgian hospitality presses in.
In the Egyptian capital, Cairo, Jan and Morten check into a hotel where the night's sleep is challenged. They visit Garbage City, where 60,000 Egyptians live in the middle of a large smelly landfill, and then one of Cairo's notorious tourist charmers lures them to a local wedding.
Jan and Morten travel to Moldova, which is one of the world's least visited countries. Moldova has a rich tradition of wine production, which is why Jan and Morten's journey is all about grapes. Here they taste their way through 5000 years of proud wine traditions and at the same time get an audience with a real gypsy king.
In Ukraine, Jan and Morten go on a low-budget ski holiday to an isolated ski resort, Dragobrat. Here you can buy handguns in the local kiosk, and safety on the slopes is your own responsibility. Jan is going to the Ukrainian ski school, and Morten is chasing the ultimate off-piste discipline, catskiing.
2020
Jan and Morten go on a road trip in the outskirts of Japan. The goal is the fabled doll town of Nagoro. Along the way, they check into the country's cheapest hotel, taste the deadly fugu fish and spend the night with two local pensioners.
Jan and Morten have arrived in Tokyo. Here they hire an "uncle" and dive into the city's hyper sexual cultural life, which includes vending machines with used girl's panties.
Jan and Morten have traveled to Transnistria - the country that officially does not exist. Here they meet a mysterious "sheriff" and try an exotic bee massage at the World's end. And yes, we meant bees - the ones that sting.
Jan and Morten land in Sweden's northernmost city, and here they learn the story of the original people, the Sami. The trip also offers both coffee cheese and surströmming, and then they end by sleeping on the bottom of a lake.
Why does everyone want to go to Skagen? Jan and Morten are instead taken to Denmark's southernmost point: Gedser. At the town's only hotel, they are served peanut prawns, and later they meet a passionate crocodile owner. And to satisfy hunger? Something from a dead pig.
Jan and Morten go on a road trip in southern Germany in a motorhome. Here they meet, among other things, Germany's uncrowned king of Schlager, visit the world's largest pig museum and go exploring in the city where the cuckoo clock was born.
2021
Morten and Jan sail on a raft on a voyage of discovery along the Dutch canals, to get up close to the locals. They learn all about how good an invention clogs are, meet the man who turns dead animals into drones and smoke in a coffee shop while trying to understand the ups and downs of the legalisation of cannabis.
2022
Jan and Morten throw the rucksack over their shoulders again. This time to take a closer look at the many Christmas traditions that are hidden around Europe. They start their adventure in Estonia, where the world's first Christmas tree was allegedly decorated and hoisted. And then they get an insight into the Estonian Christmas, which was forbidden for decades. Their trip to Estonia also offers a somewhat creepy overnight stay in a former Soviet prison, a crazy amusement park and a hotel where, according to the reviews, there's a high risk of bringing sexually transmitted diseases home.
2022
Once again, Morten and Jan are ready to travel out into the world, and this time they're heading to Central Europe. They fly to Budapest, like so many other Danes, but where the majority stay in the capital, Morten and Jan want to go far out onto the Hungarian plains. Among other things, they visit Europe's last cowboys, visit a trippy marzipan museum, and then they enjoy Hungarian hospitality when they're suddenly invited to a somewhat alternative pig slaughter. Finally, they must of course accommodate themselves in the best possible way - at a genuine Zero Star hotel, which offers completely new experiences for both Jan and Morten.
2024
Jan and Morten go on an adventure in isolated Bhutan. The kingdom in the Himalayan mountains, which is said to be the last travel destination in the world that hasn't been ruined by mass tourism and which is also the world's first carbon-negative country.
2026
Morten and Jan go on a scooter holiday in search of unspoilt Greece to investigate whether there is hope for the troubled country that has been hit hard by crises and tragedies! They beat up octopuses, hug olive trees and try to spend the night on an abandoned Danish smuggling ship washed up on the beach.
Morten and Jan travel to the fabled Transylvania in search of the story of Dracula. They spend the night in Europe's most haunted forest, get drunk in the company of a local palinka distiller and visit Dracula's castle. And hope the blood-red Dacia from 1986 can make the trip.
In Poland, Morten and Jan's adventure starts at Hotel Start, Poland's worst reviewed hotel. They visit the largest residential block in Katowice, drink a beer with the country's largest beer mug collector and take the temperature of Poland's development. And then there's fish in jelly to taste.
Morten and Jan go on a cycling trip, on city bikes, to investigate whether Europe's smallest and richest country has anything to offer. They meet a billionaire, eat his ham cold cuts, head off with a llama and sleep in -13°C. They also get help from an unexpected source when the bike breaks down.
Bornholm is now being marketed as a winter destination. Jan and Morten try their luck, even though it becomes a cold affair. They try to gain access to the "underground ones", learn the language and see if the pigs still drink Cola.
The Christmas journey continues when Jan and Morten travel to Tyrol to learn more about the creepy Austrian Christmas tradition - Krampus. But besides scary monsters, the trip offers shrill yodelling and a smuggling route through the Austrian Alps and into Switzerland. The final destination is a small town called Samnaun, where Jan and Morten are to participate in the championship of them all - the Santa Claus World Championship.
Greenland has Father Christmas, the North Pole has Father Christmas, but there's only one place where Father Christmas actually lives - namely Finland. Here you can meet Father Christmas, and Jan and Morten have prepared all the questions they've been carrying around since childhood. But the trip up towards Santa Claus also offers plenty of reindeer, hard Finnish heavy metal, and a sauna experience out in the Finnish wilderness that they'll forget very late. A genuine Zero Star adventure in pursuit of Father Christmas.
After looking at a number of strange Christmas traditions around Europe, Jan and Morten have come home to Denmark. And the Christmas cheer is to be shared out when they return to Denmark's new Skagen - namely Gedser. Here they naturally accommodate themselves again with Jan at Hotel Gedser, because he doesn't have time to celebrate Christmas. He has to take care of the many guests. A fond reunion with one of the great characters from the many Zero Star adventures.
Jan and Morten travel to the former Soviet holiday paradise, Kyrgyzstan. They are truly spoiled with a genuine Zero Star adventure when they experience the impressive Kyrgyz nature on horseback and spend the night like the locals way out where the post no longer reaches. The final destination of the trip is an old Soviet sanatorium, where they get a wellness experience far beyond the usual.
Jan and Morten head to the city that divides Europe and Asia to look at the dark sides of the mass tourism the country has experienced. They accommodate themselves in hell's forecourt in one of the city's most dangerous areas, where tourists are advised to stay away from. A crazy trip that offers raki in abundance, loaded pistols and abandoned Disney castles. An extended weekend with everything that goes with it in Turkey's largest city!
Morten and Jan are thoroughly spoiled when they go on an alternative gourmet adventure in the south of France. French delicacies are in focus when they feel snail slime on their faces, taste the holy grapes at a wine monastery and sink their teeth into foul-smelling French cheeses - all in a somewhat challenged old 2CV that coughs its way through the French mountains.
Qatar is under everyone's scrutiny these days, as the World Cup is soon to kick off. Jan and Morten therefore travel to the desert state to see if a Zero Star adventure is hiding in one of the world's richest countries. Along the way, they experience everything from camels with robots on their backs, partying in abandoned ruins, and then they certainly leave their mark on the oil state when they find the paint cans in the controversial country.
Jan and Morten travel to one of the most visited English cities, namely Blackpool. Every year approximately 18 million people visit Blackpool, and it's pretty much only Brits. Morten and Jan dive into the city, which is known as England's arsehole, to find out why so many Brits go there. It becomes a trip that offers plenty of characters, pints in steady streams, and more Elvises than they ever dreamed of seeing.
Uzbekistan offers a true inferno of crazy and touching experiences when Jan and Morten go there to learn more about everything from major environmental disasters, dubious train journeys and fermented camel milk. And then they even taste the rump of a raw fat-tailed sheep, a true delicacy.
Jan and Morten travel to one of Asia's most vibrant cities, Seoul. A big city where career and pets are everywhere, and the unique hotels and gastronomic experiences are queuing up. For better or worse.
After some breathless days in pulsating Seoul, Jan and Morten gear down and drive out into the quiet, authentic and spiritual South Korea. Here they experience inspiring monks, cruise ships on cliffs and penis sculptures in all shades.
Jan and Morten set course for kilts, gales and myths in Scotland's highlands. Here they meet, among others, Andy, who keeps the highlander tradition alive, and then they search for the Loch Ness monster with Steve, who has devoted his life to finding the legendary lake monster. A trip with plenty of adventure and mythical traditions.
Jan and Morten have gone to Bulgaria, but far away from Sunny Beach. Instead they take a narrow-gauge train through the lush Rhodope Mountains, where they meet masked exorcists, dancing bears and the reigning Bulgarian champion in arm wrestling.
2023
Nul Stjerner travels to India's chaotic capital, Delhi. A tumultuous encounter with the big city's noise, the dubious street food and a culture where sacred cows roam the streets. And what's more, Jan and Morten get to taste the cow's golden drops, which are said to have health benefits.
The body is put to the test when Jan and Morten hop on the bicycle saddle and pedal their way through beautiful southern India. Along the way, they take a closer look at local delicacies, alternative dance forms and the mother of all Asian martial arts. All on their two authentic iron horses.
Prague's mass tourism is put under the microscope when Jan and Morten let themselves be caught by poorly reviewed restaurants and tourist-friendly, hourly-paid hotels. They also go behind the tourist traps and get the true and surprising stories about some of the biggest attractions. Finally, the Czech Republic is the country in the world that drinks the most beer, so the trip to Prague naturally also offers golden drops in various shades.
Can you even travel on a budget in Norway? Jan and Morten hitchhike their way through our northern brother country and treat themselves to Norway's unofficial national dish - the frozen pizza! Norway is in fact the country in the world that eats the most pizza per capita. Along the way on their hitchhiking trip, they end up in the town of Voss, which surprises with local delicacies and 100 litres of beer in a pot.
Is it really as boring in Belgium as it says on the internet? Jan and Morten put that to the test when they travel to Europe's most boring country. A trip that offers plenty of chips, shrimp fishing on horseback and the most different overnight stay in the programme's history - namely in a rectum. Get answers to whether a good adventure is actually hiding in Europe's capital.
Armenia is not exactly on the list of Danes' preferred travel destinations. Therefore Jan and Morten travel to the former Soviet republic to find out what extraordinary experiences are hiding there. And it doesn't go quietly when they're confronted by the police, play chess with small children and are invited to a classic Armenian brunch, which involves tripe soup and vodka early in the morning.
