  • Late afternoon is the best time to visit for a relaxed vibe and watching sailboats on the fjord.
  • Bring a water bottle and some snacks if you plan on hiking the extended coastal trails.
  • You are very close to the Danish border; your phone might pick up a Danish network, so keep an eye on roaming.
