Welcoming holiday homes in Denmark

Lønstrup is a cosy fishing village where time appears to stop when you let yourself become ent­hral­led by the charming summer villas from the 1920s, popping up here and there the hills around the town. The town oozes cosy at­mosp­he­re and holiday spirit with narrow, long and winding streets showca­sing one great and well-preserved fisherman’s cottage after the other. Today, the fishermen’s cottages house cafés, re­stau­rants and various art workshops where you can enjoy the local artists’ works of art – and yes, maybe you can buy a local souvenir to take home? A stone’s throw from the town, you will find Lønstrup Strand, known for its clear water and beautiful dune landsca­pes.

Your summer cottage stay on Langeland is not complete without a trip to Ristinge. In Ristinge, you will find one of the best beaches in Denmark. The beach is known for its fine sand, dunes and clear water. There is plenty of room for sun­bat­hing, water play and sports acti­vi­ties such as windsur­fing and kayaking. The region is also known for the nature at­tra­ction Ristinge Klint (Ristinge Cliff), a place for you to ex­pe­ri­en­ce the beautiful scenery of Langeland. You will find several trails created along the cliff that are de­fi­ni­te­ly worth a hike. From here, you can enjoy the specta­cu­lar sea views and explore the wonderful flora on display in this area.

Marstal is the largest town on Ærø with a proud maritime history which is why the town is also known as “Skipper Town” col­loqui­al­ly. This sense of pride par­ti­cu­lar­ly manifests itself in the local town life. The harbour is a well-known gathering place for townspe­op­le and ho­li­day­ma­kers, and the maritime museum is one of the major at­tra­ctions in the area. Here you can delve into the maritime history of the town and enjoy exhi­bi­tions on the shipping trade. The town centre features a lovely shopping street and here you can shop to your heart’s content and sample local de­li­ca­cies. And a mere stone’s throw from Marstal, you will find Eriks Hale Strand over­look­ing some of the colourful beach huts on the island.
