If you want to go to the northernmost point of Denmark then set your sights to “the Skaw.” Situated in between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea on the Jutland peninsula, the tiny yet amazingly picturesque piece of land known as Skagen may be the kind of escape city dwellers dream of.

The Koge Bay Beach Park between Avedore and Hundige is one popular beach destination for the locals, not only for the myriad of opportunities for recreational activities but also because it is strategically close to Copenhagen. The park is actually made up of a seven-kilometer stretch of artificial dunes over the northern part of Koge Bay with a sandy beach and several man-made lagoons and small lakes. Opened in 1980, the beach park was built to provide a leisure destination for the population as well as a protection against flooding for the surrounding suburbs of Copenhagen.

When you’re in Denmark and you hear this word from the locals, don’t ask where you can find it or if it is sold in any of the stores. “Hygge” (pronounced “hoo-ga”) does not have any direct translation into other languages and most Danish would tell you that there is not one word that can quite capture its true essence. Rather, hygge is something that is best witnessed in action, and the Danes are all about expressing it.

Largely undiscovered by tourists, Lolland is one of the island gems in southern Denmark in the Baltic Sea.

Lolland has a population of about 66,000 and made up of eight towns: Bandholm, Guldborg, Kragenaes, Maribo, Nakskov, Nysted, Rodby and Sakskobing.
