Spend some quality time in a holiday home in Ålbæk

Beach

By Ålbæk a lovely, white and long sandy beach is available right by the harbour. The location in the bay 'Ålbæk Bugt' makes sure that the water is calm and shallow, which make the beach very suitable for children. Because of the clear water, the beach is also provided with the Blue Flag.

Nature

Right behind Ålbæk lays the dune plantation 'Ålbæk Klitplantage' with more marked walking paths in the scenic nature. The location of Ålbæks makes it possible to experience both the east and the west coast of Jutland. Go to the wide and white sandy beaches of the North Sea and experience 'Råbjerg Mile', one of Europe's largest drifting dunes. The dune is preserved and moves 15 metres towards north-east every year. Between the coasts lush meadows and forests characterize the landscape, and by the east coast you can enjoy the level salt meadows with a vigorous plant and bird life. Make the most of the short distance between the east and west coast, and see the sun rise over the Kattegat and set over the Skagerrak. The varying nature landscape can be experienced on food, on bicycle, from a canoe, on horseback or in car.
