Welcoming holiday homes in Denmark

The charming port town of Hou is the perfect holiday desti­na­tion for those looking for local ex­pe­ri­en­ces and sur­ro­un­dings full of nature. Among other things, you can visit the marina where pleasure boats and fishing boats help creating life and at­mosp­he­re. It is also from here that you can go on organised sails along the coast or grab the paddle yourself by hiring a kayak. If you want to take in the sur­ro­un­dings full of nature on land, you have various beautiful routes and trails at your disposal in the area to explore. And you decide whether it should be on a bicycle or on foot – or whether will be ac­com­pa­nied by your four-legged friend.

Ertebølle is known for its hi­sto­ri­cal sig­ni­fi­can­ce and bre­ath­taking nature. The area offers a fa­sci­nat­ing look at the history of hunter-gatherers during the Stone Age. Visit the im­pres­si­ve Stone Age Centre Ertebølle where you can immerse yourself into the lives of ancient Stone Age people, who lived 7,000 years ago, through in­te­r­a­cti­ve ex­pe­ri­en­ces such as hunting, sailing and fl­int­k­nap­ping for Ertebølle Hoved, a unique cliff with layers of volcanic ash, is a testament to the di­stin­cti­ve ge­o­lo­gi­cal features of the area. The cliff offers excellent op­portu­ni­ties to find fossils and un­der­stand why this place is so special that it has become a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

You will not be bored when ho­li­daying in a summer cottage in Mid­del­fart. From the town, you can enjoy front row seats to the most beautiful views of the Little Belt. Yes, you can actually ex­pe­ri­en­ce the Little Belt from several angles. For example, you can go “brid­gewal­king”, giving you a view of the Little Belt from a height of 60 metres. And if you want to get really close, you can go whale watching and explore the large po­pu­la­tion of porpoises in the belt. The town also offers a range of acti­vi­ties on land. Here you will find several vigorous nature areas. For example, you can go hiking in Hindsgavl Animal Park where you can get up close and personal with free roaming deer and other small animals.
