Accommodation

Camping and hostels are two natural solutions in Denmark.
Local Hostel Association: www.danhostel.dk
Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts: www.bbdk.dk
Camping: to camp in the official campsites, you need a card issued by the Camping Card International or Camping Card Scandinavia (www.campingcardinternational.com). The national website is www.camping.dk (Danish only). Free camping is allowed when you have (informal) permission from the landowner.
