Hiking Holiday on Zealand
Just outside Copenhagen, unique natural experiences and varied landscapes await. On the island of Zealand, you can walk through forests, along fjords and across open countryside, breathe in the fresh coastal and inland air, and sense the presence of history along the way.
Lace up your walking boots, pack food and water in your rucksack, and lose yourself in the national park’s deep forests, explore the open manor landscapes, or follow the paths along the fjord, where nature and cultural heritage blend seamlessly.
