July, Nature in Denmark, and following The Daisy Route: The Danish Year Part 7

Have you explored the Marguerite Route 🌼—also known as the Daisy Route?

This network of scenic back roads connects some of the most charming, unexpected, and natural experiences Denmark has to offer. It’s a perfect way to explore Danish nature during the July summer vacation month.

In this new episode of the How to Live in Denmark podcast—the longest-running English-language podcast about life in Denmark—I take you along the Marguerite Route and show you some of the best travel experiences in Denmark.

🇩🇰 You can surf in Denmark!
Yes, on the wild, windy west coast, you can catch a wave. 🌊🏄‍♂️💨

🇩🇰 You can hike through ancient forests—and even sleep in them.
Denmark offers free public shelters in the woods, open to the elements, where you can fall asleep under the stars. 🌲🥾🌌⛺

🇩🇰 You can sail through peaceful fjords—and sometimes spot whales.
Bring your binoculars! ⛵🐋

🇩🇰 You can tramp through marshes and watch eagles and foxes.
Denmark’s wetlands are full of wildlife. 🦅🦊🌾

🇩🇰 You can experience almost every Nordic landscape—except mountains. Denmark’s highest point, Møllehøj, is only about a third the height of the Empire State Building. 🏞️🏔️➡️🏙️

🇩🇰 But if you’re craving rocky peaks...
Head to Denmark’s chalk cliffs and go fossil hunting by the sea. 🏖️🦴🪨🔍

What ties all these Danish summer adventures together is the Marguerite Route—a scenic guide to nature, history, and heritage all across Denmark.

🎧 This is Part 7 of our series on The Danish Year, available now on the How to Live in Denmark podcast.
