Are you looking for the next road trip, or maybe just a weekend get-away? Why not consider driving to Denmark? It only takes one hour to drive to the Danish border from Kiel.  This guide will recommend places to go If you are considering a trip to the northern neighbor, Jutland.  

Rømø

If you are into beautiful nature and fresh air, Rømø is just the right place for you.

Rømø is an island on the west coast of Jutland, however, there is a 9-kilometer long dike from the mainland which makes it possible to drive all the way, and therefore you do not have to worry about a bridge charge or paying money to take a ferry, you just drive all the way for free. The island attracts many tourists doing summertime, as the nature and beach are incredibly beautiful. The nature has a rough Scandinavian feeling, with the sandhills and heather. Furthermore, Rømø is the biggest island in the Wadden Sea and the beach is very huge and therefore you are allowed to drive on it and thereby all the way down to the water, which makes this very attractive during summer. But be careful, the tidal water has locked cars on the beach before. It is also very popular to ride through the nature on an Iceland pony, and many farms offer trips to the beach. Not a big horse person? Do not worry, not many of the people ‘renting’ an Iceland pony are, the ponies have a very calm temper, which makes it possible for beginners to ride them.

If you are looking for a good dinner, there are many choices, but one of the most popular one is Fru Dax. The restaurant serves valuable and good food, often with fish. The restaurant also got an ice-cream house next door (which unfortunately is closed during winter) which has won the prize of the Best Ice-cream house in Denmark!
