The tour of denmark.

by cachaseiro

Every year in the beginning of august you have the tour of Denmark.It's by no means the tour de france but the race still attracts top racers from around the world.It lasts for about a week.It's cureently sponsored by the danish postal service and is therefor called postdanmark rundt.It draws big crowds and it´s surely worth joining the crowd if you happen to be in the neighbourhood anyway.

Go fishing

by cachaseiro

Denmark is a place that is very suitable for fishing.Boh from the coast and from boats.Caodfish, trout and salmon are among the most common fish you are likely to catch in Denmark.Just be aware that as a sports fisherman you must buy a fishing permit before you start fishing.

Costal fishing

by TheView

The Danish coastline is public area this offers not only the opportunity for nice walks and swimming but also fishing . The costal fishing in Denmark requires a fishing licence (if you are age 18-65) you can buy via. The link in this tip. All of the income form the sale is used to better the fishing conditions and release of fry. If you like to try the inland waters you need to buy and extra permit for this as the fishing rights belongs to the local landowner. The local tourist office will either sell this or know where you can purges it.

Seaport Bowling Alley

by marielexoteria

If you like bowling and you happen to be in Nørresundby then this is the place to visit. They're small in comparison to the alleys in Aalborg but they're lots of fun just as well. You can rent the alley for 30 minutes or more. They also sell some snacks and drinks and have a buffet restaurant but we didn't try those.Practical info: open Sunday-Tuesday 10am-10pm, Wednesday 10am-11pm, Thursday 10am-midnight, Friday 10am-2am and Saturday noon-2am, with reservation for holidays. You rent what you need there.

Løvvang Bowling Center

by marielexoteria

At first it might not look appealing but, as we know, looks can be deceiving as they're located in a basement-like building. But with their 30 lanes, Løvvang Bowling Center is Denmark's biggest bowling place. Nice environment for being in a small town.Practical info: open Monday-Tuesday 10am-9pm, Wednesday 10am-11pm. Thursday 2pm-10pm, Friday 12pm-midnight, Saturday 10am-midnight and Sunday 1pm-9pm, up to May 18th, 2008, with reservation for changes. Their prices are 90DKK weekdays until 5pm, 120 DKK after 5pm. Saturdays 65 DKK until 1pm, 120 DKK until 6pm and 160 DKK until midnight. Sundays 120 DKK until 6pm, 65 DKK until closing time. Renting the shoes costs 10 DKK extra. Rent everything you need there.

Svømmeland/Skansebadet

by marielexoteria

Do you feel like swimming in a pool at a non-crowded place? Are you close to Nørresundby? Then Svømmeland is the place to go. They have several pools, one with some massaging jets and hot water (in their Aqua-relax department). Try also their saunas (indoor or outdoor), their Finnish bath, their steam bath and their Aqua-fun slide.Practical info: the Aqua-fun is open Monday-Thursday 9:30am-7:25pm, Friday 9:30am-5:25pm, weekends and red days 9:30am-3:25pm. Their Aqua-relax is open Monday 7am-8:25pm, Tuesday and Thursday 09.30-20.25, Wednesday 07.00-21.25, Friday 07.00-17.25 and weekends and red days 09.00-15.25. The entrance fees are from 30 DKK for adults and 25 DKK for children on a one-day ticket, depending on what you wanna do.Observe that you must hit the showers and get wet before entering the pools, for hygienic reasons. Bring your swimsuit, goggles, towels and shampoo, etc if you...

Billiard

by TheView

At bars in Denmark there is played a game of billiard named Skomager (Shoemaker) it’s a more then 100 years old Danish game and is only played in Denmark. The billiard table for the game is a bit larger then a pool table and the pockets is a bit smaller in the centre of the table there is put up five cones, four smaller around a larger in the centre. You have a red cue ball and tow white balls. The aim of the game is to get from 60 points you start with down to zero. The points is made from hitting the two white balls with the red cue ball (4 points) or getting the two white balls to hit each other (4 points) you can only make 4 points from making whites or reds in a turn, getting a white ball in to a pocket (2 points) or by knocking over the cones with the white balls after they have been into a side cushion (2 points for each cone or 6 points for the centre cone if you only knock this...

Scuba wreck diving

by Niksen

Theres some great diving opportunities in DK, not least from Copenhagen.The straith between Sweden and Denmark has been full of ships for centuries so lots of wrecks to visit. Easy ones and very tough ones.Me and a friend usually hires a boat from http://www.dykkertaxa.dk/ to take us to the sites. Its about 300 DKR and he knows the waters and the wrecks. very convenient. Bring your own or rent it.In summer a 7mm suit will do but i usually prefer a drysuit.Theres plenty of clubs around CPH, www.aquasport.dk is one of them.

Cycle holidays

by Sjalen

Denmark is an ideal biking country. The south of Zealand, mid Jutland and northern Bornholm are hilly, but by no means as strenuous as mountain regions. The rest of the country is more or less flat (if windy!). The environmental consciousness of politicians have also left both towns and countryside full of cycle paths with amenities not too far between. Some belong to a national network and other local/regional ones compliment those. Bikes can be put on trains (high speed ones need reservation and it is also advised for others in high season) whilst with ferries it depends on where you are going. Most hostels have good parking facilities for bikes. My own favourite cycling landscapes so far are Funen and Bornholm. You can also ask the biking viking, VT's Claus (cachaseiro) for more advise. The Danish cyclists association (see link) has all the maps you need and the tourist offices can...

by elsebeth

handball is a good example on danish spirit We love a sport that not too many other people have heard of. When we are number one in something then this event is the biggest in the world.
