South from the Danish island of Fyn, where the sea is
studded with many small uninhabited islands.
Up the western coast of Denmark and Norway. The water is cold for swimmers to get numb
quickly. The weather can change suddenly and dangerously.
Skiing
Scandinavia is also the best place for skiing. You can do it
much of the year. Snow in northern Sweden and Norway often lasts as late as May. But in winter the temperatures sometimes fall
down to -35⁰C ( any temperature below - 10⁰C makes the danger of frostbite
great enough to prohibit skiing). So, it is advisable to ski here in fall or
spring, when the days are longer and warmer , November and March are good.

is basically flat. You can enjoy hiking between towns. Local tourism offices
have maps of paths and can help plan specific routes.

for day or package holidays. You can also rent a covered wagon for an
inexpensive and unusual accommodation and transport.
