11 Places In Denmark That Are Super Hard To Get To But Well Worth The Effort

There are many places in Denmark worth exploring, but getting there isn’t always easy. If you don’t mind spending some time on the road (or hiking) and want to see the country’s diverse landscape—with sandy beaches, breathtaking dunes and dense forests—keep reading, because we’ve rounded up the best hardest places to get to in Denmark.

1. Wadden Sea-National Park Vadehavet

Park

The Wadden Sea National Park is the largest national park in Denmark and, since 2014, has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The breathtaking park is known not only for its diverse nature—with millions of migratory birds passing through every year and over 500 species of plants and animals—but also for the oyster safari that takes place here throughout the year.

2. National Park Thy

Park

Dunes, dune heaths, 200 lakes, birds, deer and many more animals and plants comprise the unique landscape at Thy National Park. Many locals and tourists head to this breathtaking national park every year for horse riding, fishing, mountain biking and other activities.

Grenen

Skagen is located on the northernmost part of Denmark where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. Due to the different density of these two bodies of water, their tides never merge, creating an astonishing sight. Every year, millions of tourists head to this northern city to witness this unique phenomenon, and to spend a few days in the diverse landscape of Skagen.

Råbjerg Mile

Being the largest migrating dune in Northern Europe, Råbjerg Mile is definitely worth the time and effort for a visit. It’s located close to Skagen, the northernmost city of Denmark, and is one of the most popular attractions for hiking enthusiasts and thrill-seekers. Hills over 40 meters (130 feet) high and endless miles of sand comprise the breathtaking scenery that many have compared to desert landscapes.

3. Rold Skov

Forest, Store

Rold Skov is Denmark’s most popular forest, not only because it’s the largest in the country but also because it offers a wide range of outdoor activities and camping sites, which attract hundreds of locals and tourists during the summer months. Rold Skov is so big that the landscape often changes; ancient beech trees in Troldeskoven, hills, lakes and springs that date back to the Ice Age are only some of the natural sights visitors will witness.
