The trendy word "hygge" means something like "cozy, warm atmosphere". It originates from Denmark. Why not go there for a hygge holiday?
Bremen/Copenhagen – When choosing a holiday destination, German tourists are faced with the question of how far they should go. Sometimes you don't have to drive or fly that many miles to find a nice destination. Germany's neighbouring countries also have a lot to offer in terms of sights – just like Denmark.
Holidays in Denmark: Travel tips from A to Z for beautiful days in Germany's neighbouring country

Stars without light pollution: Denmark has a Dark Sky Park
N for "reaching for the stars": The Dark Sky Park Møn in Stegen in southern Denmark is a particularly good place to observe stars. There is a night sky that is completely free of light pollution. Especially in late summer, the Milky Way is visible in all its glory.

A surfer's paradise: Klitmøller – the Hawaii of Denmark

Whether windsurfing, kite surfing or surfing - water sports enthusiasts get their money's worth here.

My Area
If you are looking for unusual places to stay, you will also find what you are looking for in our neighbouring country Denmark: Have you ever slept in a lighthouse? At Camp Møns Klint on the island of Møns it is possible. Or how about spending the nights on a covered wagon? This active holiday can be realized on the Danish island of Funen. The provider Sydfyns Heste- og Prærievognsudlejning provides two horses in addition to the wagon, in which five people can spend the night.
Beach fun in Denmark: Holidays under palm trees are also possible
W for "Water": If you are looking for a beach holiday, you might find it in this selection: Søndervig Beach is located on the North Sea and near the towns of Hvide Sande and Ringkøbing. In 2014, it was voted Denmark's best beach by readers of the newspaper Berlingske. Blåvand beach is also located on the North Sea. However, it differs from a typical North Sea beach in that there is almost no difference between low and low tide. In addition, the water here is very shallow far out into the sea. This makes Blåvand beach very child-friendly. Even those who like holidays under palm trees will find what they are looking for in Denmark: Denmark's only Palm Beach is located in Frederikshavn on North Jutland. Here you can build sandcastles under palm trees, play beach volleyball or relax.
Z for "Magician": Making your own magic wand, brewing magic potions or stroking a dragon: If your eyes light up when you hear these keywords, you shouldn't miss the "Magiske Dage Odense". For a few days in October, the city of Odense on Funen is all about magic. But Odense also has a lot to offer apart from the festival: for example, you can visit the Hans Christian Andersen House in the birthplace of the famous poet. Or the Funen Village, an open-air museum where you can experience Denmark in the 18th and 19th centuries. (lea)
