Out in nature all year round The landscape in Djursland is quite unique as you will be able to experience nearly the entire natural diversity in Denmark within an area of 50 km x 50 km, such as open heath, hills, dense forest, lakes and approx. 150 km. of beach.
Djursland is an obvious choice for trips where you can experience nature up close – by foot, on a bicycle, on a horse or in a canoe.
Go canoeing on Randers Fjord or on Alling Å stream. Walking route maps describe routes in different types of nature and of varied length.
On Gjerrild railway’s old, closed section of railway you can follow
the landscape by foot or on bicycle into the countryside from Stokkebro to Stenvad. A trip of 16 kilometres. If you want to go along the coast, you can place the trip on the path Nordsøstien and experience how the sea and the wind have shaped the landscape and the village environments there through several generations. Nordsøstien (North Sea Trail) is a path for walking, horse riding and bicycle riding.
At the tourist offices, you can pick up guides and get help renting a canoe, bicycle, horse etc. Or get help putting together your own trip with detailed descriptions of nature and historical background knowledge. Furthermore, we can help you put together bicycle packages that fit your needs.
Anholt Anholt – a paradise in the middle of kattegat
– simple island life
Halfway between Sweden and Denmark lies the island of Anholt, home to Denmark’s most isolated island community. As soon as you board the ferry, you will feel yourself being drawn into the peace and tranquillity that pervades the island. The countryside and the people living on Anholt have adapted themselves to the fact that water surrounds the island as far as the eye can see in every direction.
The island community lives in harmonious coexistence, as it has done for generations. The population of the island numbers about 150 residents, who are self-sufficient with their own school, post office, doctor and vicar. Regardless of whether you are looking for company or solitude, what characterises Anholt is absorption, nature and simplicity.
