Denmark Motorhome Marguerite Route

Motorhome journey: The highlights of the Marguerite Route in Denmark

Denmark offers a bit of everything; vast fjords, idyllic towns and everything in between. Can't choose which highlights to see in this fine country? Then drive (part of) the 4218-kilometre-long Margriet Route, crossing the whole country and passing the most beautiful treasures!

Get out into nature at Nationalpark Thy

In Nationalpark Thy you can expect a rugged coastline, elongated dunes and impressive limestone cliffs formed in the Ice Age! More than 200 kilometres of hiking and cycling trails offer the opportunity to get out into nature. Daredevils take a summer cooling dip in one of the lakes in good weather, but do you prefer to stay on the waterfront? Then go out with a local fisherman in a fishing village and enjoy the regional cuisine, then stay overnight at Krohavens Familiecamping.

Learning in and about the harbour city of Århus

Cosy terraces and eateries, interesting museums and plenty of sights can be found in the lively student city of Århus, in the Jutland region. For example, go back in time at Den Gamle By museum, which also means “the old town”, where you can learn about old Danish crafts. Are you interested in art? Then visit the Aros Art Museum and walk through the impressive rainbow over the roof! For a royal touch to your motorhome trip, stroll through the palace gardens of Marselisborg Castle and spend the night at the motorhome stopover in Marselisborg Havn.

Camperstop.com tip: the Margriet Route has no starting and finishing points, so you can travel the route entirely your way. Want to combine your trip around Denmark with a visit to Sweden? Then make sure you start or end in Copenhagen. Driving to Denmark via Germany? Then start at Padborg, Rens or Rudbøl!

City trip to Copenhagen

Your visit to Denmark is not complete without seeing Copenhagen. For example, take in the famous Nyhavn, the harbour with its colourful mansions and cosy cafés, and stroll past the statue of The Little Mermaid. Also worth seeing are the royal Christiansborg Palace and Tivoli Gardens amusement park – where you can have a great time even without going on a rollercoaster. Want to see even more of the city's beauty? Then follow a walking trail or go for a bike ride. Stay overnight at Copenhagen City Camp, from where you can easily reach the city centre.

Visit fairytale Kronborg Castle

It already has a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List, but from now on also on your Denmark bucket list: Kronborg Castle. Located on the Sont strait and dating back to 1574, here you imagine yourself in a true fairytale setting. In the most literal sense, by the way, as Kronborg Castle was also mentioned in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Walk through the castle gardens, enjoy the view and spend the evening on Dronningmølle Strand. Can you see Sweden across the water?

Camperstop.com tip: we mentioned earlier that in Denmark you can find everything, including lovely beaches! You don't always have to go to Mediterranean countries for a beach holiday. Read more here!

On an adventure through LEGOLAND

Whether you are out and about with or without the kids, Denmark is no place to be ashamed of your love for LEGO. At LEGOLAND amusement park, you can imagine yourself in the world of LEGO, from miniature buildings to rollercoasters and even a LEGO movies section. You can also go to the accompanying shop to look around among the construction kits and perhaps take home a new project of your own. So bring out the block builder in you! Near LEGOLAND, park your motorhome at Camperpark Billund.

Back in time in Ribe

As Denmark's oldest town, take a trip back in time to Viking times. Dive into the world of the Vikings and their crafts at the Ribe Vikingcenter open-air museum and admire excavations from that era at the Ribes Vikinger Museum. The city centre itself, with its colourful architecture, is also great fun to stroll through. Do you like to go out by bike as well? A short distance from Ribe, you'll find several great cycling routes along the Wadden Sea!
