Denmark for Couples

South Jutland, Henne – Henneby Camping is towards the west of Denmark near lake Filso. This is a great location for cycling as it is one of the 25 cycle routes along the coastline, starting in Henne Strand and ending in Blåbj. This route offers great scenery and culture as you bike through farmland where you can learn about a project that has created the sixth largest lake in Denmark. Some of the lakes along the route such as Mellemsøen not only have great scenery, but also offer a great place for bird watching in the area. Cycling through this area offers a quick change of scenery as the cycle path also goes past the dune plantations and splits off into a choice of routes to circle back or continue to the mountain bike routes. As well as being a great place for cycling there are other attractions such as the local art galleries and church.
