Holiday homes in Denmark

Denmark is by far the most beautiful holiday country in Europe. Danes, the citizens of Denmark, are generally well educated, well informed, very easygoing and very informal. This will give the Danes a relaxed and often humorous look at life. The land is ideal for relaxing family vacations. Greenwood Vacation Homes has several large bungalows with enough room for the entire family.

Denmark consists of the Jutland peninsula (to the north of Germany) and approximately 407 islands, of which only about 79 are inhabited. The largest and most densely populated are Zealand of which Copenhagen is the capital, the North Jutland and Funen island. The islands are often connected by remarkable bridges. The South of Sweden is still the most beautiful island of Bornholm with its forests, beaches and historic churches. Here you can experience a truly Mediterranean feel. Many of our beautiful Denmark holiday homes will give you this authentic feeling only Jutland can give you.

Some of the important cities are Aalborg, Aarhus, Flensburg, Horsens, Viborg and Veijle. The municipality Veijle Jelling is the place where different rune stones and burial mounds recall the days when Christians fought the Vikings in the 10th century. Jelling was for many years the home of Danish kings. These kings have two huge mounds and two stones with runes left. There is also a stone church that was entirely made of wood.
