Vols à destination du Danemark

FEBRUARY 2023

Even though there are no high peaks here, the beautiful and changing nature has plenty of delightful walking trails, that are simply waiting to be explored.

Denmark’s friendliest

Camønoen

Camønoen is known as Denmark’s friendliest hiking trail and stretches 175km around Møn, Nyord and Bogø. A good starting point is Møns Museum, where you can find out more about what there is to see, book accommodation and print out a personalized hiking map. One of the highlights of the area is Møns Klint, white limestone cliffs over 100m high with a sheer drop down into the sea. There’s also an experience center here with interactive exhibits, a state-of-the-art 3D movie theater and guided tours along the cliffs. Camønoen is part of the Sjællandsleden trail that stretches across the island of Zealand.

One of the longest

Øhavsstien

At 220km long, Øhavsstien on southern Funen is one of Denmark’s longest hiking trails. It passes through a beautiful cultural landscape, featuring poppy fields and country estates, and is never far from the sea. The trail is divided into seven different stages and these can each be divided into shorter day hikes.

Det Sydfynske Øhav contains descriptions of all the stages, together with tips on things to see along the way. Parts of Øhavsstien are on the route of the Fjällräven Classic Denmark, a major trekking event that takes place 5-8 July this year. Why not combine your hike on Funen with a visit to some of Denmark’s castles, such as the 17th-century Valdemar’s Castle?

Walk trough a diverse landscape

Bornholm

Along the Bornholm coast a historical coastal path winds through a diverse landscape of cliffs, sandy beaches and unspoiled nature. The trail also passes through a string of little fishing villages and charming towns where you can find both a room for the night and a good place to eat. In other words, the ideal trail for those wanting to experience a bit of Danish hygge. The entire round trip is close to 120km. It can be done in three days, but if you want to see all the sights and enjoy a more leisurely pace, a week is recommended. The Bornholm Rundt March takes place from 30 June to 2 July, when the entire route is covered in three days.

A legendary trail

Hærvejen

Hærvejen, also known in English as the Ox Road, is perhaps the most legendary walking trail in Denmark. It runs the length of Jutland from the German border to Hirtshals, and parts of it date back over 4,000 years. Through the ages, the 500km trail has been used by pilgrims, armies and merchants, but is now a well-organized hiking and cycling trail, that passes through heathland, forests, sand dunes and farmland.

You can choose from a 14-day, seven-day or simply a one-day walk. If you decide on the longer routes, you can stay overnight at hostels along Hærvejen, 12 historic farms and buildings that offer hikers plain food and accommodation. If you want to do the walk but without worrying about baggage, accommodation or evening meals, Vagabond Tours can organize this for you.

Walking across Jutland

Coast to coast trail

On this walking trail across Jutland, you’ll experience some of the most beautiful nature in Denmark. From the tidal waters of the Wadden Sea National Park and the wild North Sea at Blåvandshuk, to gentle river valleys, forests, heaths and hills. The trail is 130km long and along the way you can stay at basic camping sites with water, WCs and campfires.

You’ll also see lighthouses, nature centers, Medieval churches and German bunkers, plus plenty of tempting stores to buy provisions on your journey. If you buy a fishing permit, you can also catch your evening meal in the River Varde, famous for some of the best salmon waters in Denmark. You can download a walking map with GPS for your trip here.

Walking and cycling trail

Bindeballestien

Bindeballestien at Vejle is a 36km walking and cycling trail through the beautiful Vejle Ådal valley, where you’ll experience the everchanging but always spectacular nature and numerous cultural heritage sites along the way. The landscape includes heather clad hills and sand dunes, Ice Age slopes, gorges and forests, plus an Iron Age sacrificial bog. Reconstructed Iron Age farms, 13th Century frescoes, the historic Haraldskær Hovedgård Hotel, Iron Age museum and nature center are other sights to look out for.

To make the most of your walk, it’s a good idea to allow a couple of days. The trail ends in Billund, which has an airport, the Lalandia holiday center and the legendary LEGOLAND.

NOVEMBER 2022

Want to sleep with your pillow underneath a shark, wake up with the animals of the savannah or go to bed in a hobbit house? These are all things you can do at some of Denmark's more unusual places to stay.

The world's smallest hotel

Central Hotel og Café

The Central Hotel and Café has enough personality to feature in a Jim Jarmusch film. The world's smallest hotel is located on Copenhagen's Parisian-style street, Værnedamsvej, and has just one room, which is decorated with dark wood, patterned wallpaper, beautiful linen and ingenious details. There's a coffee shop downstairs, plus breakfast at the atmospheric Granola.

Stay in a National Park

Karpenhøj Naturcenter

Stay in the great outdoors at Karpenhøj Naturcenter in the Mols Bjerge National Park. Here you'll find solid shelters and campfire pits and you can hike, mountain bike, climb trees and much more in the beautiful glacially created landscapes. If you're mad about the outdoors, the nature center organizes lots of open-air activities. You can learn how to gather your own herbs, for example, cook camp food over an open fire or relax in the outdoor hot tub. Accommodation is free if attending a course, but shelters can also be booked privately, subject to availability.

Sleep with the sharks

Kattegatcentret

It's not every day you have the opportunity to go to bed under a school of sharks. But at the Kattegatcenter in Grenaa, the whole family can lie side-by-side in a glass tunnel under the tropical shark tank and do some shark-spotting by flashlight before they go to bed. The experience also includes dissecting squid, hand-feeding sharks and plenty of shark facts.

Sleep on the savannah

Ree Park Safari

You can still get a glimpse of the savannah, even if you're on Jutland. Ree Park safari in Ebeltoft has its own savannah, where the ostriches, zebras, rhinos, giraffes, antelopes and wildebeests roam free. Enjoy a full-on safari experience by staying overnight in your own sleeping bag in a safari lodge built on a platform next to the savannah. The animals come up really close and they even like sleeping under the platform itself. Included in the price is a guided tour of the park, where you are driven around the savannah and learn lots of facts about the wildlife.

A crane for the discerning

The Krane

The sky and the sea will be your nearest neighbors when you stay at The Krane, an old coal crane dating from 1944, which is now a hotel suite, meeting rooms and spa. From the outside, the crane in Nordhavn still looks like a piece of industry, but inside it oozes exclusive Danish design, mostly as black as coal itself. The engine room has been turned into a bedroom, the cab is now a lounge and what was once a container has now been transformed into a spa. The crane is 15m high and the view takes your breath away.

Treetop house

Kaløvig Center

The Treetop house at Kaløvig Center on Djursland was actually intended as a different kind of meeting room, but the view, the tree canopy and the scent of the cedars was so popular that they decided to rent the house out as a hotel room as well. The Treetop house can be used all year round and is located in beautiful surroundings near the sea and the Mols Bjerge National Park. They serve excellent organic food and the friendly brother and sister team who run the place are on hand to help make the experience complete.

Hygge in a hobbit cabin

Hasle Camping

If you're taking the family to Bornholm, you'll find a very different kind of accommodation in Hasle Camping's hobbit village. There's a handful of barrel-shaped hobbit houses here, each of which can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children, as well as a hobbit sauna with a view and a barbecue hut. If you get cabin fever, you can head for the sea and an excellent natural beach, which are just 200m away.

MAY 2023

You’ve just landed in Copenhagen, but rather than head straight for the bustling city you decide on a smaller, but equally exciting, destination. Do you choose the place you can go on a rainbow walk, or the museum dedicated to one of the world’s most famous fairy tale authors?

Aarhus – from rainbow walk to Danish buzz

Aarhus is Denmark’s second city, almost exactly three hours from Copenhagen (using bridges or ferry). The city was European Capital of Culture in 2017, and is both a picturesque holiday city and an ultra-modern art destination. There is also some great food to be found, and everything more or less within walking distance.

Modern art in all shades

ARoS

The ARoS Art Museum is one of the biggest in Northern Europe, and always has exciting world-class exhibitions featuring artists such as Grayson Perry, Robert Mapplethorpe and Joana Vasconcelos. It is perhaps best known for its rooftop rainbow panorama by Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, as well as Ron Mueck’s gigantic sculpture, Boy.

A Danish journey through time

Den Gamle By

For a different kind of museum, just head to Den Gamle By, an open-air museum where you can go back in time and see Denmark as it was in the days of Hans Christian Andersen – and earlier. Den Gamle By is one of Denmark’s most popular tourist attractions, and it’s easy to see why.

An infinite bridge

Den uendelig bro

Just outside Aarhus is one of the area’s most popular photo motifs: The Infinite Bridge. The installation was created by architects Niels Povlsgaard and Johan Gjødes for a sculpture exhibition in 2015, but was so popular that the borough council made it a permanent feature – and you can visit every year from April to October. A good tip is to then carry on to the spectacular Moesgaard Museum, renowned for its exhibition on Danish history.

Fairy tales for all ages in Odense

Denmark’s best-known literary export, Hans Christian Andersen, was born in Odense in 1805, and the city is a natural destination for all fans of his fairy tales – especially since the museum dedicated to him opened. But Odense is also a good starting point to discover the island of Funen with its many amazing castles.

A cycle-friendly city

Rent a bicycle in Odense and enjoy some of the city’s 500 km of cycle paths. Odense has been awarded as Denmark’s most cycle-friendly city, and several specially built cycle bridges mean you can get around quickly and easily. We recommend heading for the harbor and the free of charge Odense Harbor Bath, with a structure resembling the deck of a ship. For those with more time and energy, Funen island is a great place to explore further as it’s flat and great for cycling.

A true fairy tale museum

H.C. Andersens hus

It would be sacrilege to visit Odense without seeing Hans Christian Andersen’s house – especially in its new guise, designed by Japan’s star architect, Kengo Kuma. The museum is now an experience beyond the ordinary, where the author’s stories are brought to life by artists and technology, and where the museum strives to talk like Andersen, rather than about him.

Danish and modern art experiences

Kunstmuseum Brandts

Art Museum Brandts has a spectacular collection of Danish art from the last 250 years, and it combines this treasure trove with exhibitions featuring exciting modern artists. There is also an incredibly popular sensory exhibition for children, which in spring 2023 focuses on pølser, Denmark’s famous hotdogs.

The historic stronghold of Nyborg

Denmark’s first constitution was signed in Nyborg in 1282, and from 1200 to 1413 the city was the site of the Danish parliament, Danehof. So this is a place with a pivotal place in Danish history. Today it’s something of a hidden gem, an idyllic coastal town in the middle of Denmark, a perfect distance from everything.

Castle hopping

Nyborg Slot

There are several amazing castles in and around Nyborg. Start with Nyborg Castle, which started being built in the late 12th century and is Denmark’s oldest preserved royal castle. Holckenhavn Castle, just outside Nyborg, is a popular location for weddings, and the extensive park and gardens are open to the public. Another beautiful building is Juelsberg Manor, just north of Nyborg. With its classical late 18th century architecture, it attracts visitors to its park and gardens, open May 1 to October 31.

Gourmet experience by the water

Restaurant Lieffroy

In a beautiful yellow building with Georgian-style windows and a tiled roof, is Restaurant Lieffroy. The views across the water are phenomenal, whether from the outdoor seating area or the huge panorama windows which open up the wall to the sea. The Lieffroy was named Restaurant of the Year in 2021 by Den Danske Spiseguide, Denmark’s food guide, and in the kitchen are people with many years’ experience of three-star Michelin establishments. On the menu: beautiful, delicious dishes made with local produce.

Podcast promenade

Nyborg Municipality has produced a series of podcasts to listen to while strolling around the picturesque town. Listen to how Queen Margaret I of Denmark took over Magelund Castle in 1391 – and burned it down. Or experience Nyborg Square in the 1960s, during the Second World War, all the way back until it was built. All you need to do is download the Useeum app on your phone, search for “Nyborg’s hidden tales” and press play.
