Welcoming holiday homes in Denmark

On the north coast, the landscape is dramatic, and the views are bre­ath­taking—Allinge is no exception. The town borders the fa­sci­nat­ing area around Hammeren, offering some of Denmark’s most specta­cu­lar natural en­viron­ments. Allinge harbour is a gathering point with a great at­mosp­he­re offering cafés, ice cream shops, eateries, and shops. The town is cha­ra­cte­ri­sed by half-timbered houses in every colour, narrow streets, and cosy squares. You can explore small, cosy oases. Allinge also offers art and culture in various forms and is home to venues, creative workshops, and the annual jazz festival.

On the northern tip of Langeland, you will find Hou. Hou is an extremely quiet area and here you are away from the hectic working day and can just sit back and enjoy the chirping of birds and the roar of the waves. With its coastline and luxuriant nature, Hou is the ideal holiday desti­na­tion for those looking for nature outings and expl­ora­tions. Here you can take long walks or jump on a bike and enjoy the fresh air. If you are in­te­r­e­sted in history, please visit Hou Ligh­t­hou­se, a true landmark of the area, as it played an important role in ship navi­ga­tion around the northern tip of the island back in the late 1800s.

A stone’s throw from Denmark’s sout­her­n­most point sits Gedesby, which offers authentic village vibes and idyllic scenery. In and around the town you will find beautiful old houses, thatched farm­hou­ses and cosy green landsca­pes. The church, which dates back to the 1300s, is nestled in the centre of the town sur­ro­un­ded by the quaint main street and beautiful old mill. The area plays an important role in Denmark’s history so there is a lot of local folklore and tales to explore. The nature here is fantastic, with plan­ta­tions, hiking trails and forests – and not least Gedesby Beach, which stretches as far as the eye can see.

Rudkøbing, the largest town on Langeland, is a charming market town with beautiful old houses, cobbled streets and a wa­ter­front con­stant­ly bustling with life. When strolling through the streets and alleys of the town, you get the ex­pe­ri­en­ce of going back in time. But please do not get fooled. Behind the many well-preserved town houses, you will find local shops, re­stau­rants and cafés. When venturing outside the town centre, you will discover that Rudkøbing also has a beautiful nature on offer. Explore the area via one of the many different cycling and hiking routes and ex­pe­ri­en­ce the nature of Langeland up close.
