What should I pack for a walking or hiking holiday in Denmark?

When going on a hiking holiday in Denmark, it’s a good idea to pack light and practical. The most important things are, of course, good footwear, clothing for changing weather conditions, and a backpack that is comfortable to carry over longer distances.

It can also be helpful to have the basics covered, such as water, snacks, and possibly a map or an app with routes.

In addition, it creates peace of mind to plan your breaks and accommodation in advance, so you know where you can stop along the way.

If you book accommodation at campsites, you may be able to avoid carrying some equipment:

• You can most likely leave kitchen and cooking equipment at home and use the facilities in the campsite’s communal kitchen – but check in advance just to be sure
• A tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat are not necessary if you book a cabin or another type of holiday accommodation at the campsite – although you will usually need to bring or rent bed linen

With simple and well-planned packing, it becomes easier to get going – and you’ll have more energy to enjoy your hiking holiday.
