Why is autumn the ideal travel time for a holiday home holiday in Denmark?

An autumn holiday in Denmark is nice and recommended for many reasons - even if this travel time is generally considered rather unpopular. For example, you can fly kites with the children, go on long bike rides, go hiking, go shopping or simply relax and make yourself comfortable. You can also take walks in the forests or on the beaches. There are so many ways to spend an autumn holiday in Denmark and in a holiday home!

A holiday home in Denmark for the whole family or a luxury holiday home to pamper yourself?

The great thing is that you can find a suitable holiday home for every taste and every need. It could be a large holiday home, perhaps with a sauna, swimming pool and whirlpool. In autumn, such a wish can be fulfilled even more easily, as holiday homes are often cheaper in autumn and during the autumn holidays than is the case in the high season in summer. So that means you can get the holiday home you want in the fall at a lower price. In addition, in autumn you are more likely to use the holiday home with its beautiful and luxurious extras than in summer, when you may spend more and longer hours by the sea or outside at all.

What is the weather like in autumn in Denmark?

The weather in Denmark in autumn can take the form of a beautiful, mild Indian summer and the first snowflakes can also be possible. However, most of the time in autumn in Denmark it is sunny or gray, quite windy and occasionally rainy. It is advisable to have weatherproof clothing with you so that you are equipped for all activities. If the weather is really so bad that you would rather stay in the holiday home, you can certainly keep busy there and take advantage of the in-house offers.

But you also have to say that the changing weather has its own charm. If you perhaps walk from your holiday home to the sea, a dramatic cloudy sky with the alternation of light and shadow can make the landscape and the sea appear much more impressive. And after a rain, when the sun comes out again, artistic rainbows can form that you can marvel at.

The defining lighthouses, which you can see a lot along the Danish coast are very good to look at even in the darker seasons. The light from the towers is even more intense and you get a better impression of the importance of the lighthouses before more modern navigation options existed.

The sea and also the forests look particularly beautiful in autumn. The forest with its golden colors is good for the eyes and the soul. In autumn we particularly recommend cycling tours into the forests. You can also collect mushrooms or berries or perhaps take leaves, branches, acorns, chestnuts and stones with you to the holiday home to make something with the children.

Take the dog with you to the holiday home

If you book a holiday home in Denmark in autumn you can save money and there are also advantages if you have your dog with you. He can run freely on the beach from October 1st to April 31st. This makes it possible to take long walks on the beach together in any wind and weather, and the dog can also really give it a go. In Denmark you will also find many holiday homes where dogs are welcome. If you would like to let your dog run free in a secure area because he may not (yet) hear very reliably, there are many dog ​​forests in Denmark that are fenced in and where dogs are allowed to run free. These dog forests are particularly exciting for dogs, especially in autumn, as there are many interesting smells and the four-legged friends can go on a sniffing tour with their noses on the ground.

Denmark also has a lot to offer in autumn

As already described above, nature is... Autumn in Denmark extremely beautiful. But there are also interesting museums and aquariums to discover if you prefer to do something indoors. Outside of high season there will be far fewer visitors, so you have more time to see everything in a relaxed manner.

There is also the opportunity, for example, to visit indoor play and leisure facilities with the family. The weather doesn't matter with such activities and everyone can still have fun.

Even in the smaller towns and near the holiday accommodation you can often find many galleries, studios or nice shops. Artists are also active in the fall and exhibit and/or sell their art. In the fall they often have more time to talk to interested people. It can be very informative and exciting to talk to creative people and let them tell you something about their art.

Also ideal for shopping

Shopping can be more fun out of season as you can often find good deals. This can even be possible more often in smaller towns than in larger cities. After a nice shopping trip, you can, for example, treat yourself to a visit to a café or choose something tasty and take it with you to your holiday accommodation.

And when you return after beautiful activities and lots of impressions, there is nothing nicer than retreating to your holiday home in the evening to perhaps relax in front of the fireplace or in the in-house whirlpool or sauna and let the day end.

Sights for autumn

There are many beautiful sights in Denmark that make your autumn holiday unforgettable. You can visit the rugged North Sea coast and enjoy long walks through the dune landscapes near Henne Strand or Hvide Sande. The Baltic Sea coast offers charming fishing villages as well as quiet beaches. Nature lovers will love Mols Bjerge National Park, where you can take in the autumn colors in the hilly landscape. If you want to experience some culture, you can the Viking center in Ribe or visit cozy Aarhus with its museums and cafés. But there will definitely be something nice to find for everyone.

By the way, the autumn holidays in Denmark are usually in the 42nd calendar week.
