bodies of water. “You don’t get these kinds of views anywhere else in Denmark,” says Sigurjonsson. If you are feeling more adventurous, the region also has Denmark’s longest mountain-biking trail. There is no need to bring your own bike as you can rent one from the tourist office, which can also provide you with a packed lunch for your trip. The culinary scene is also proudly homegrown, with much of the food coming from local, organic farms and producers. The sea provides much of the traditional grub and the yearly fish day, held on the first weekend of August, celebrates traditional Danish fish dishes using freshly caught fish. You can also choose to enjoy oysters when going on an oyster safari, where you are taken out to sea with a guide to catch your own oysters, before cooking them on the beach in the evening. Activities for everyone You can choose whether you would like to have an active holiday, or simply sit back, relax and eat a few pastries. The area is very child-friendly and welcomes pets, whilst also providing a romantic getaway for two. With vast beaches and lots of ac-
tivities, particularly during the summer, there is something to keep everyone entertained. There are also plenty of places to stay, including campsites and summerhouses – a very traditional way of going on holiday in Denmark. It is easy to become immersed in the local areas and culture, or to just be on your own – there is plenty of space to do both. Most people arrive by car, as it also provides a great way to freely explore other areas. “We offer freedom as well as peace and quiet,” Sigurjonsson says. The nature provides many opportunities to have a very active holiday, while it also offers the chance to completely relax, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The locals are hospitable and friendly and the region will never feel overrun with tourists. When you
do visit, go to the tourist office to get a good idea of all the events that are on offer, and enjoy your stay in this unique and beautiful part of Denmark.
