Denmark

Denmark is a dream outdoor destination! Between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, there are fantastic landscapes to discover by bike, on foot or on the water - with almost no elevation! Enjoy the fresh North Sea breeze while walking along long sandy beaches, discover the gentle hills and vast forests of the Danish islands on a bike ride or enjoy nature along the rugged coastline. There is plenty on offer for active families: Spend the night in a family cottage, build sandcastles on the beach and, of course, take a trip to Legoland!

Discover Copenhagen: On the tracks of the Vikings

There is a lot to discover in Denmark, the land of the Vikings. For example, the magnificent castles and royal gardens in Copenhagen and North Zealand, which tell the story of one of the oldest monarchies in the world. The Little Mermaid, on the other hand, is not quite so easy to find. This pretty little landmark greets all travelers in the harbor of the capital, which has repeatedly been named the “most liveable city in the world”. Copenhagen is also famous for its excellent cuisine - here you can not only enjoy smörrebröd and cinnamon buns in “hyggelig” cafés, but also visit some of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.

North Jutland: Denmark's sporty side

But Denmark doesn't just want to be explored culturally, it also wants to be sporty! And it offers a wide range of options for this, both on land and on water. Wide hilly landscapes and over 7000 km of coastline, swamps, forests and rivers invite you to extensive exploration tours, which are easy to find thanks to detailed cycling and hiking signs.

In North Jutland, the northwest of Denmark, windsurfers enjoy the strongest wind in Europe. Best conditions in cities like Klitmøller - also called "Cold Hawaii". Sailing enthusiasts, who also have a large selection of coasts, islands and bays in Denmark, often come to the Isefjord in the northwest of Zealand. From there it is worthwhile to visit the town of Roskilde, which exhibits the historical remains of five Viking ships found in the fjord and presents one of the largest music festivals every year.
