It seems that Safari Omnibar will quickly default to a search, if it encounters uncommon characters in the URL. Typing "findvej.dk/København" will search for this instead of navigating to it (which would be the preferred result). It's the "ø" the makes the difference (although not a common character, it is present in both ISO/IEC 8859 and Windows 1252). Prefixing with "http://" does the trick, but is trickier to type.
