Vacation in Denmark: What are the most beautiful destinations for a short trip?

The Scandinavian country of Denmark is directly adjacent to the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is connected to Sweden by the Öresund Bridge.

Denmark includes the Jutland peninsula and various islands, which is why the charming state has a long coastline with beaches. In addition, the capital Copenhagen attracts with its sights and a medieval city center.

A beautiful region of Denmark is Henne Strand in Jutland. The holiday resort is ideal for you if you want to spend a relaxing weekend in a holiday home. The selection of these accommodations is immense: around 800 holiday accommodations are located in Henne Strand, most of which have access to the sea.

Self-caterers use the supermarkets. If the kitchen stays cold, go to one of the restaurants. Children enjoy the “Playland” play area.

The Baltic Sea island of Bornholm is nicknamed the “Pearl of the Baltic Sea”. It measures 30 km x 40 km and is not far from Sweden and Poland. If you want to extend your short trip, you can also take a detour there.

Bornholm itself is a natural paradise for all ages. Swimming, hiking, relaxing: on this short vacation you can recover from the stress of everyday life. For diversion, visit the medieval Middelaldercenter or the Bornholm Art Museum.

The country's capital exudes a cosmopolitan charm. It is located on Denmark's largest island: Zealand. The city is without a doubt the kingdom's most important metropolis and at the same time its cultural center.

You can do a lot in Copenhagen: the pedestrian zones to the Old and New Markets are perfect for strolling. The Tivoli amusement park promises pure fun, while Christianborg Castle and St. Peter's Church transport you back in time.

The symbol of the northern European capital is the statue of the Little Mermaid.

You can reach Denmark particularly easily and quickly by car. From Hamburg you take the A7 towards Flensburg and the border. The very well-developed Danish motorway network begins after the border.

This is how quickly you can get to Denmark by car:

- Hamburg to Henne Strand around four hours

- Hanover to Aarhus about five hours

- Berlin to Copenhagen approximately six hours (including ferry crossing)

- Dortmund to Marielyst about seven hours (including ferry crossing)

Another alternative is the ferry. It takes you comfortably from Rostock and Puttgarden to the eastern Danish islands and to Zealand and Copenhagen. Some German airports also serve the Danish capital.

Denmark has very good medical care. The hospitals are excellently equipped and the staff are often multilingual.

If you would like to see a doctor outside of office hours, you can use the so-called doctor's stations (lægevagt). They provide medical assistance throughout the kingdom at night, on weekends and on public holidays.
