Denmark in 8 days

In eight days it goes from Hamburg along the coast through Denmark via Skagen, Aalborg and Odense to Copenhagen. Join us, Lena and Eric, on our first tour ever with a camper van. You can follow us on Instagram (@ericwik) and also at www.twitch.com/holzapfel. There will be stories, contributions and live streams. The following tour is planned, but we are also open to spontaneous alternatives: We start the tour in our car near Cologne and from 1 p.m. we change to the van in Hamburg. Due to the long journey, our only destination on day 1 is the campsite in Vejers Strand. On day 2 we go along the west coast to Klitmøller where we want to take a surfing course in "Cold Hawaii". The overnight stay is planned at “Hanstholm Camping - Thy Feriepark”. On the morning of day 3 we continue driving north. The excursion destinations Bulbjerg Knude and Thorup Strand are planned along the way. Originally we were supposed to go to Skagen on this day, but since we want to celebrate Lena's birthday with a nice meal that evening, the destination for the day is the city of Aalborg including a visit to the street food market. We then spend day 4 entirely in the north. We go to Skagen, where the North and Baltic Seas meet. On the way back we plan to take a walk through the Danish "desert" Rajberg Mile. The day will conclude with a visit to the famous lighthouse Rubjerg Knude Fyr and an overnight stay directly on the cliffs. We will probably cover the longest distance on day 5, because then we go to the island of Funen. On this route we are completely flexible and want to spontaneously see beautiful places. We are looking for a parking space or a campsite in or around Odense for the night. On day 6, the capital Copenhagen awaits us. We take the whole day (except for the journey) in the city and want to toast my birthday in the evening (yes, we both get a year older on the tour). After we slept in the city, we went to the next island of Møn on the penultimate day. There we visit the highest cliffs in Denmark "Møns Klint". From the chalk cliffs we then head to Lolland where the last campsite awaits us. On the 8th and last day we take the ferry to Puttgarden and drive back to Hamburg via Fehmarn. We are open to questions and suggestions! :-)

Travelogue

Day 1
ROADfans
Schiffbeker Weg 307, Hamburg, Deutschland

We rented a van in the “Journey” category from 1 p.m.


Los geht’s!

After just 5 hours of driving, we arrived in Hamburg around 12:30 and were able to set up our home for the next few days before we finally got started.


Wegpunkt
77B, Landevejen, Scherrebek, Kommune Tondern, Region Süddänemark, 6780, Dänemark

Used to adjust the route.


Vejers Strand Camping
Vejers Sydstrand 3, 6853, Vejers Strand, Denmark

A highly recommended campsite with pitches in the dunes.


Report:


We arrived at 6 p.m. Self check-in was super easy and uncomplicated. The sanitary facilities are super clean and modern. There are also opportunities to cook and do laundry etc.

The path over the dunes is also super short and you are on the beach. Unfortunately the wind was very extreme today and it was hard to enjoy the view from the dunes.


Day 2
Klitmøller
Ørhagevej, Klitmøller, Region Nordjütland, Dänemark

Here we take a surfing course in the so-called "Cold Hawaii".


The surfing course didn't take place due to very strong winds and heavy waves, but we visited the spot anyway.


Hanstholm Camping - Thy Feriepark
Hamborgvej 95, 7730, Hanstholm, Denmark

Another camping site that is right by the sea.


We spontaneously decided on another place nearby.

“Thy Minicamping” is an incredibly beautiful little place with around 30 places, very modern sanitary facilities, a kitchen and a small fishing lake with an attached fishing shop.


Day 3
Parkplatz Bulbjerg Knude
Bulbjergvej, Region Nordjütland, Dänemark

Visit to Bulbjerg Knude and the on-site bunker.


Definitely worth a stop. Very nice cliff and beautiful beach. You can get from the bunker complex down to the beach via stairs.

Nice view, parking space and toilet available.


Thorup Strand
Thorup Strandvej 329, Fjerritslev, Region Nordjütland, Dänemark

Thorup beach with the fishing boats being pulled ashore.


It wasn't anything incredibly special for us, but it was a nice little beach with traditional fishing boats. There is a small but good snack bar (we didn't try it).


Aalborg Familie Camping Strandparken
Skydebanevej 20, 9000, Aalborg, Dänemark

We spend the rest of the day in the city. We look at the beautiful place, go to the street food market and look for a nice restaurant to celebrate the day (Lena's birthday).


Street food market a little more expensive, but worth a visit. There is a relatively large arcade and the usual German snack specialties (gyros, sushi, pizza, burgers, etc.)


Camping site is nothing special but offers everything you need and was mostly clean.


Day 4
Grenen Parking
Fyrvej, 9990, Skagen, Dänemark

Visit to Skagen where the North and Baltic Seas meet.


Skagen was also a goal that we ticked off, but didn't really knock our socks off.


We walked the way to the top and then took the shuttle back for just under 3 euros per person.


The highlight here was the seal, although I don't know if it was doing so well 🥺.


Rajberg Mile
Råbjerg Mile Vej 2, Skagen, Region Nordjütland, Dänemark

The “desert” of Denmark.


Unfortunately it was too windy for the view. to enjoy, but a visit here is still a must!


Stellplatz an der Klippe
Mårup Kirkevej 70, Lønstrup, Region Nordjütland, Dänemark

A very nice little parking space right on the cliffs.


The view here is also really breathtaking, but staying overnight was out of the question due to the strong wind.


Instead we drove to the lighthouse, about 2km away.


Instead of looking for an alternative place here, we drove another 2 1/2 hours towards Odense, our next destination.

I now add our sleeping place:


Day 5
Middelfart
Indevejen, Middelfart, Region Süddänemark, Dänemark

In order to use the time, as I said, we drove further towards the next destination. On the route we looked for a place just to spend the night.


There are two parking spaces here that can be found in Park4Night. They probably (also) belong to the adjacent hotel.

But one was too dark for us, so we used the large parking lot and stood in the last row.

There is a public toilet at the harbor. It was enough for an overnight stay.


DCU-Camping Odense
Odensevej 102, 5260, Odense S., Dänemark

We spend day 5 on the road towards Odense and spontaneously choose places to visit.



We changed our plan to have a shorter journey to Copenhagen on the 6th day. We skipped Odense and continued to Frederiksværk.

I'm now also adding the campsite:


Frederiksværk Camping
Strandgade 25, 3300, Frederiksværk, Denmark

This was our alternative spot for the day and night.

In terms of price, the place is top. The kitchen and sanitary facilities are older and fairly simple. If you want luxury, this is the wrong place. But everything worked out for us. When you book, you can borrow a canoe for free and sail down the canal towards the harbor.

Frederiksværk is a beautiful little town with a great pedestrian zone. You can reach everything on foot.


Day 6
Kopenhagen
Vesterbrogade, Kopenhagen, Hauptstadtregion, Dänemark

We visit the capital on Eric's birthday.


We spent my birthday in Copenhagen. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't as good as expected. Nevertheless, Copenhagen is a beautiful city with some good restaurants.


Flooding was reported on the Baltic Sea coasts for the next day. Since we had actually planned to travel back via Fehmarn, we had to change our plans and drove back towards Hamburg overland. We stayed overnight again directly behind the border in a free motorhome parking lot.


Day 7
Mons Klint
Maglevandstrappen, Region Seeland, Dänemark
The chalk cliff is located in the east of the Baltic Sea island of Møn and is up to 128m high.



Due to the storm and flood warnings, we unfortunately had to cancel this destination and left today and brought the camper back.


Maribo Sø Camping
Bangshavevej, 4930, Maribo, Dänemark
