When it comes to having a festive holiday, what could be more scene-setting than holidaying in a northern European country, where the cold weather can really strike, and snowfall is more likely? It’s your own little winter wonderland, and it doesn’t have to be expensive to get away to either. Here are a few things you can do for your seasonal vacation this winter, which can open you up to a whole new avenue of ideas for your traveling plans.
Try Out the Local Traditions
In the more Western part of the world, there’s a whole melting pot of traditions for people to try out and uphold each year, but there’s no country more suited towards Christmas in this way than Denmark. Christmas traditions are a popular thing for the Danish, and there’s plenty to get stuck into as a result.
There’s, of course, the Advent Wreath, which is a beginning practice that really amps up the excitement for the arrival of Christmas day. It consists of four candles that are lit on each Sunday in the run-up to Christmas Eve, and they smell nice and look wonderful. Just thinking about it gives you a warm feeling!
Denmark also possesses the globally famous Christmas Seals, which are special stamps that only come out during the most festive time of the year. Use them wherever you want to in the mail system, and all the revenue that comes from them is distributed to charity for poor and needy children.
Take Up a New Hobby
Denmark is very happy; it’s no surprise that Denmark regularly gets voted the happiest nation on earth, as they have plenty to keep them healthy and safe and even their own brand of keeping occupied.
Denmark has thousands of hobby clubs on offer, and thus you’re going to need to try out at least one of them whilst you’re there! Something like Seatrout - Fishing is a great skill to take up, whilst being pretty peaceful at the same time. Having a club on hand to go out with when you want or need to makes living a healthier lifestyle a lot easier, and there’s no sense of self-consciousness when you try out something new. There’s no point having a hobby if you can’t enjoy it after all.
Enjoy the Views
Denmark, like a lot of countries, has some pretty spectacular views on offer for people to gander at for leisure. However, Danish spectacles have a clear-cut Northern quality about them, so be sure to visit all the places you can on a visit here.
There’s the Mols Bjerge National Park, which offers up plenty of walking, hiking, and running facilities over varied land, bestowed in green. Or you could try Rold Forest, which is one of the biggest woods in the country. Old trees and plant formations thrive here, and plenty of magic is in the air.
Denmark could do with a little more exploring, why not give it a try this winter season?
