Let’s go!
Between historic lighthouses and breathtaking views
Venturing along the Danish coast offers the opportunity to discover some of Europe’s most historic and picturesque lighthouses, true monuments that stand proud against the sky and sea, silent witnesses to centuries-old maritime stories.
Start your journey from Skagen, the northernmost tip of Denmark, where you can visit the Skagen lighthouse. This iconic lighthouse, operational since 1858, is a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts due to its privileged position where two seas meet.
Continuing south, you will encounter the Rubjerg Knude lighthouse. Located on a continuously shifting sand dune, this lighthouse is an extraordinary example of how nature can reclaim its space. Originally built in 1900, the lighthouse was recently moved further inland to protect it from coastal erosion.
Beyond these, the Danish coast is dotted with numerous other lighthouses, each with its own uniqueness, from the romantic Hirtshals lighthouse to the Dueodde lighthouse, the tallest in Denmark. Each visited lighthouse becomes a chapter in your travel diary, telling a story of isolation, safe guidance for sailors of old, and resilience against the storms.
Danish islands: a mosaic of cultures and landscapes
The Danish islands represent one of the country’s most precious gems, each offering a unique fusion of history, culture, and natural beauty.
The island of Funen, often described as Denmark’s garden, is the country’s second largest and a veritable open-air museum. Here, the city of Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, offers visitors the opportunity to dive into the universe of fairy tales by visiting the author’s house, transformed into a fascinating museum. While exploring Funen, you cannot ignore the magnificence of its castles, like the Egeskov Castle, a Renaissance specimen surrounded by one of Europe’s most beautiful historic gardens.
Another island not to miss is Samsø, known as Denmark’s sustainable island. This small community is a living example of how sustainability and innovation can go hand in hand. Here, tourists can visit renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar parks, and enjoy the rich local agricultural production, tasting fresh products directly from the producers.
And then there’s Bornholm, the “Baltic pearl,” a unique island for geography, culture, and atmosphere. Located further east than the rest of Denmark, it is accessible by ferry and absolutely worth the trip. Bornholm offers an extraordinary combination of wild nature, granite cliffs, pristine white beaches (like that of Dueodde) and deep forests. It is also a place rich in history: visit the ruins of Hammershus castle, one of the largest medieval castles in Northern Europe, and the characteristic round churches, an architectural symbol of the island.
These islands are custodians of a deeply rooted history and culture, making each visit a rich and varied experience.
Wild beaches and pristine nature
Traveling along the Danish coast in a motorhome or caravan brings you to some of Europe’s wildest and most pristine beaches, where nature manifests in its purest and most spectacular form.
One of the jewels of this coast is undoubtedly the Lakolk beach on the island of Rømø. Accessible directly in a motorhome, this beach stretches for kilometers with its fine sand and offers an ideal scenario not only for relaxation but also for water sports enthusiasts.
Continuing north, the Lokken beach attracts visitors with its golden sand dunes and crystal-clear waters. This location is famous as a meeting point for the international surfing community, and the vibrant atmosphere of the place is contagious, with small cafes and shops dotting the coastal area.
No less fascinating is the Tisvildeleje beach, located on the north coast of Zealand. This location is distinguished by its extensive back forest, Tisvilde Hegn, which offers a wide range of natural trails that delve into ancient wooded dunes and breathtaking sea views.
Beyond the beauty of the beaches, the Danish coast is dotted with small bays and hidden coves, where time seems to stop and tranquility reigns supreme.
Local cuisine: flavors of the sea
No motorhome trip would be complete without diving into the flavors of the sea that characterize the local cuisine. Denmark offers a wealth of seafood that is as much a part of the landscape as the beaches and lighthouses.
The perhaps most iconic dish is “Smørrebrød,” a type of sandwich typically served on rye bread and topped with every kind of ingredient, but the versions with marinated herring, shrimp, or smoked salmon are particularly popular among those wishing to taste the best of the sea. For an even more immersive experience, one cannot leave Denmark without trying “Fiskefrikadeller,” thick fish patties, or “Stjerneskud,” literally “shooting star,” a dish that combines fried and steamed plaice fillets with shrimp, caviar, and asparagus on rye bread. Furthermore, along the coast, there is an abundance of taverns and small restaurants where you can enjoy “Kammuslinger,” fresh scallops, often served grilled or as part of more elaborate dishes.
By savoring these specialties, visitors fully immerse themselves in local traditions and celebrate the natural goodness that Denmark has to offer.
