Autumn holiday for 2

Photo: Destination Nordvestkysten

On top of a busy summer, a short holiday trip with a few relaxing holiday days in unique nature with pampering gastronomy and exciting experiences can be both uplifting and restorative. The north-west coast is perfect for those of you who dream away from busy everyday life

Experience the impressive views and the nature that is gradually changing to beautiful autumn colours, feel the West Sea wind and the sound of the waves hitting the coast and enjoy wonderful, local flavors that will both seduce and spoil you and your travel partner at the same time.

We have gathered inspiration for exciting experiences for a mini-holiday for those of you who would like to experience autumn along the Danish northwest coast - either from a cozy summer house in the dunes close to the sea, a historic seaside hotel or perhaps an authentic Bed & Breakfast.
