'Hygge' – a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.
Denmark may be famed for its cosmopolitan cities, fairy-tale castles, and Viking heritage, but beyond its urban charms, it offers a wealth of natural beauty.
Rarely presumed a hiking destination due to its famously flat terrain, Denmark surprises visitors with its diverse landscapes.
From UNESCO World Heritage site national parks to the Danish Lakelands and over 7,000 kilometers of dramatic coastlines, the country is full of natural wonders ripe for exploration.
One of the most captivating areas is Bornholm, Denmark's hidden gem in the Baltic Sea. With its rugged cliffs, serene beaches, and quaint villages blending with historic landmarks, Bornholm offers a striking contrast to the gentler terrain found elsewhere in Denmark.
This unexpected variety is the reason Denmark is perfect for hikers of all levels.
Excellent public transport connections combined with an extensive network of well-marked and maintained trails past the ancient Viking burial sites, picturesque windmills, and striking coastal fortresses will showcase the true versatility of this underrated Baltic country.
As you'll be enjoying long daylight hours from late spring to early autumn and recharging your batteries in cozy inns or locally-run guesthouses, you will get the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the quintessentially Danish concept of "hygge."
