Denmark: cycling routes for motorhome owners

Denmark is among the European countries best suited for combining motorhome travel with cycling. The country has over 12,000 km of marked cycling routes, with many campsites and motorhome stops located near these trails. Short distances, flat terrain, and developed infrastructure allow using the stop as a base for day trips. Notable routes include the Baltic Sea coast, the island of Funen, the west coast of Jutland, and Copenhagen's cycling infrastructure.

Fire in a Caravan in Hvalsø

On Wednesday afternoon, police and fire services responded to a fire in a caravan at a campsite on Gundestedvej in Hvalsø. Firefighters arrived quickly but could not save the caravan; by the time police arrived, it was completely burned out, and the fire was under control. A fellow camper noticed smoke and alerted emergency services via 112. No one was inside the caravan at the time of the fire, and the owner was subsequently informed. Police fire investigators will examine the scene to determine the cause.

The rule of thumb every motorhome owner should know

Bridgestone technician Christian Jensen reminds motorhome owners to regularly check their tires. In Denmark, driving is allowed on public state, municipal, and private common roads, but prohibited on forest roads. Overnight stays on public parking lots are permitted only if no camping activities (such as setting up an awning, table, or chairs) take place. It is recommended to check tire pressure monthly, with a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm and an optimal depth of 3 mm, and tires should be replaced every 4–5 years.

Search for house from Henning Jürgensen's painting: new lead

A viewer tip led to Gammelbro Camping in Aarøsund, where the building depicted in Henning Jürgensen's painting might be located. However, campsite owner Jacob Knudsen and local archivist Eigil Schmidt do not recognize the manor as the painting's subject, citing discrepancies in details such as dunes and a three-wing layout. Schmidt suggests the sought-after house may be on Denmark's west coast, in the Holmsland and Hvide Sande area.

Politician refuses to send parking attendants to the beach

Camping site owner Henrik Lund reported illegal camping by ten motorhomes, three tents, and several cars at Pøls Rev beach in South Als. The municipality of Sønderborg will not allocate resources to send parking attendants to beaches, said Kirsten Bachmann, chair of the city development, rural districts, and infrastructure committee. Instead, she proposes clarifying where camping is allowed and engaging in dialogue with camping site owners.

Campground owner outraged by illegal motorhome parking on the coast

Henrik Lund, owner of Lysabildskov Camping and Feriecenter, found ten motorhomes, three tents, and several cars at the popular Pøls Rev beach during the first weekend of May, outnumbering his own guests. Camping in natural areas is prohibited in Denmark unless explicitly signed, but Lund says the phenomenon is spreading across the entire Als peninsula. Sønderborg municipality representative Kirsten Bachmann acknowledged the issue and plans to direct campers to official sites, though she is uncertain about deploying parking enforcement in rural areas.

Danish campsite owner calls for action against illegal beach camping

Henrik Lund, owner of Lysabildskov Camping on the island of Als, reported a surge in illegal motorhome parking on beaches. During the first weekend of May, he counted 10 motorhomes, three tents, and several cars at Pøls Rev beach, more than the number of guests at his campsite. Danish law prohibits overnight camping in motorhomes on beaches, allowing only short stops. The Sønderborg municipality is considering restrictions but has not yet implemented specific measures.

Why You Should Never Hand Over Your Passport at a Hotel or Campsite

Experts warn that a photocopy of your passport left at a hotel or campsite can be used by fraudsters to take out loans or subscriptions. Hotels are required to register guests, but noting name, address, and stay dates is sufficient—a full copy is unnecessary. It is recommended to prepare a redacted copy in advance or offer an alternative, such as a credit card as a guarantee.
