Looking for a hiking and beach holiday in one? Book a holiday home in Denmark!

In Denmark, you won’t find towering fjords or vast pine forests, but you will discover beaches that rank among the best in Northern Europe! From your holiday home in Denmark, there are countless options to explore landscapes with a distinctive charm. Curious about what else Denmark has to offer in terms of nature and activities? Read on and find out why this Scandinavian country has already charmed so many visitors!

Discover the most beautiful beaches along the Danish coast

Denmark boasts a long coastline, much of which is blessed with beautiful white sandy beaches. Want to enjoy sun, sea, and nature without driving too far from the Netherlands? Then a holiday home in Denmark is an excellent choice—almost everywhere, beaches and scenic dune landscapes are within reach!

The white beach of Blokhus

Want to visit one of the most stunning beaches in Northern Europe? Then the white sandy beach of Blokhus definitely deserves a spot on your list. Besides soaking up the sun on a lounge chair, there’s plenty of recreation—from kite surfing to strolling through the seaside resort in search of a cozy café or restaurant. Tip: drive your car onto the beach from Rødhus. Stop randomly to relax on a beach chair or head to the town of Løkken and savor the seafood in a charming restaurant.

The white chalk cliffs of Møns Klint

Although the best beaches are found along the coast of Jutland, there’s one beach south of Copenhagen that deserves special attention: the cliffs of Møns Klint! Here you can walk along a coastline marked by white chalk cliffs that rise more than 100 meters from the Baltic Sea. The coastline appeals to a variety of outdoor lovers. In summer, people come to kayak and nature lovers search the beach for fossils. Speaking of hiking! The island is home to a long-distance walking route of 175 kilometers, offering plenty of opportunities to admire the stunning chalk coast along the way!

Lakes Highlands: Denmark’s largest nature area

Halfway up Jutland on the Baltic Sea coast lies the Lakes Highlands, a vast natural area filled with lakes and hills. This nature reserve is a paradise for cyclists and hikers, offering a string of breathtaking views over wide-open landscapes. Take a walk to Lake Knudsø. Nearby you’ll find the scenic viewpoint Bryggebjerg. Navigate your car to the village of Alling and park near the Beboerhus. From there, you’ll find a marked trail leading to Bryggebjerg. As you walk along the lakes, you’ll constantly have water by your side. Want to get on the water? Head to the harbor in Silkeborg and rent a kayak at the parking lot. Boating options range from a few hours to multi-day trips.

Rent a holiday home in Denmark on the island of Funen

Want to rent a holiday home in Denmark on one of the larger islands? Then Funen has plenty to offer! Discover the diverse mix of beautiful beaches and plan a hiking adventure past many castles. Don’t miss the Archipelago Trail. This path of over 200 kilometers winds through hilly landscapes and picturesque towns like Faaborg. This town resembles Copenhagen’s colorful harbor—only bigger. You’ll find pastel and bright yellow houses both along the quay and in the narrow streets. Even the church tower is yellow!

A castle on Funen you simply must visit is Egeskov Castle. Of all the castles, this one reportedly attracts the most visitors—and for good reason! The castle is completely surrounded by water, more like a small lake than a moat. Around it are several ornamental gardens with beautifully designed flowerbeds.

What to do in Jutland from your holiday home in Denmark?

Ride a roller coaster at Legoland

Legoland is Denmark’s national pride and a fantastic attraction for children. But did you know you can also ride a thrilling roller coaster here? There are also other rides like a wild water course in a canoe. So Legoland is much more than just a theme park with LEGO constructions.

Blokart racing

Looking for something different than a beach walk? Take an exhilarating ride on a blokart at Rømø’s Sønderstrand. It might take a bit of getting used to, but soon you’ll be zooming across the beach with this three-wheeled kite vehicle!

Sommerland amusement park

Fun theme parks are not just limited to Legoland and Copenhagen. Jutland is home to several amusement parks known as Sommerland parks. But beware: here you’ll find the fastest roller coaster in the country! If that sounds too intense, don’t worry—there are plenty of other attractions, including a water park.

Spot animals during bike and walking tours

Denmark can be windy, but don’t let that stop you from exploring the area around your holiday home by bike! Mols Bjerge is an expansive nature park near Aarhus. Along the way, you’ll pass grazing horses, pedal over gentle hills, and enjoy wide views of rolling landscapes and multiple bays. Along the east coast of South Jutland lies Endelave, also known as Rabbit Island due to its large rabbit population. Keep your eyes open—you’re likely to see these energetic animals hopping around. For hiking, you can follow the full 21-kilometer ‘rabbit trail’ or opt for a shorter 12-kilometer version.
