Denmark is hyggelig and campers can feel this especially in this cosy harbour town on the Baltic Sea coast. All campsites in Frederikshavn are ideally located for camping by the sea. From there it is not far to the harbour and the town centre with its many old houses, entertainment and shopping facilities. The town is surrounded by wooded hills that are ideal for hiking and cycling. A special feature is Frederikshavn's palm beach.

Special features of camping in Frederikshavn

The campsites are located directly on the coast, with a view of the Kattegat. The shores of the Baltic Sea are shallow and the water is clean, making a camping holiday here particularly suitable for families with small children and also for dog lovers. The fine sandy beaches can be reached in just a few minutes from the pitches.

One attraction is Frederikshavn's palm beach. The palm trees come from the Canary Islands and create a tropical ambience. The 400 metre long palm beach offers free sun loungers, beach volleyball courts and a beach bar with an open-air kitchen. Those who prefer a more natural setting will find extensive natural beaches to the left and right of the town. It is also not far from the campsites to the Bangsbo forest.

How to get there

From Hamburg to Frederikshavn it is about 508 km by car. The route leads straight through to the tip of Denmark without any junctions. From Hamburg, take the A7 motorway towards Flensburg via Rendsburg and Schleswig. On the way, the Hüttener Berge Ost service area offers a welcome change. Nestled in the beautiful Hüttener Berge Nature Park, the rest area with its forest garden, restaurant, toilets and dog run is the last stop for many before their destination in Denmark. Some even spend the night here.

From Padborg, the route continues from the border on the E45 (European motorway) via Apenrade, Kolding, Vejle, Aarhus and Randers to Aalborg. The last opportunity to refuel cheaply is at the Scandinavian Park shopping centre from the exit in Flensburg. There is also a great children's playground and a dog run here. From Aalborg it is then around 63 kilometres on the E45 to Fredrikshavn on the east coast. There is a speed limit on motorways in Denmark.

Activities and excursions

Frederikshaven offers a wide range of attractions: a picturesque historic centre, child-friendly beaches, the Fun House playland, two adventure swimming pools and the Bangsbo wildlife park.

Explore the city and countryside by city bike

A great facility is the free city bike, which guests can use to ride to the Bangsbo Museum and Bangsbo Fort, for example. Other popular activities in Frederikshavn include a visit to The Reef adventure pool with its Caribbean flair or the child-friendly Frederikshavn Svømmehal. Children and teenagers also love the 1,500 square metre Fun House indoor play area. There are bouncy castles, trampolines and giant slides.

Hike to romantic viewpoints

An excursion to Pikkerbakken leads through a hilly landscape to a 3 kilometre-long cliff. It rises 71 metres above the sea and offers a magnificent panorama over Frederikshavn and the islands in the Kattegat. Children look forward to a trip to Bangsbo Dyrehave with free-roaming deer and an adventurous nature playground in the middle of the forest. To the west of Frederikshavn lies the stately Knivholt estate, which offers a stylish setting for events all year round.

Gastronomy

The last chance to eat a currywurst is in Schleswig-Holstein. In Denmark, there is only Pölser left. Rød pølse, red sausage, is available in all snack bars throughout Scandinavia. It is also part of the Danish hot dog. For a more natural flavour, the many farm shops in North Jutland stock up on fresh produce for the camping kitchen. The aromatic Vildmose potatoes are a speciality.

A delicacy is of course fresh fish, which is available in many variations around Frederikshavn. The Danes have rediscovered their roots and cook with natural ingredients in a very traditional way. The schnapps made from local herbs and berries, such as the herbal schnapps Bjesk, are also popular in North Jutland. The Danes are also known for their sweet cake specialities with lots of cinnamon and the large ice cream cones.

Best time to visit

The best time for a camping holiday in Frederikshavn is, of course, the summer. Then it is possible to swim in the sea and sunbathe on the long white sandy beaches. However, the natural surroundings also invite you to visit in autumn and winter. It is quieter then and you can take long walks along the coastline or hike in the forest.

It is too cool for swimming in autumn, which is why some campsites close at the end of September. However, the vastness and solitude of the landscape as well as the picturesque and cosy Danish small towns and villages attract visitors, especially in autumn. The Tordenskiold Days take place in Fredreikshavn at the beginning of September. Hundreds of actors in historical costumes bring the time of the Great Northern War of 1717 back to life.
