Welcome to North Zealand, a region where vibrant coastal towns, royal history, and stunning landscapes merge. Whether you’re exploring Hillerød with its majestic Frederiksborg Castle, strolling the harbor in Gilleleje, or visiting the elegant palace in Fredensborg, you’ll find countless experiences in Zealand, Denmark, that capture the essence of Danish culture.
Winter in North Zealand invites you to slow down and enjoy experiences at a calmer pace. Nature takes on a new character, the coastline becomes a setting for winter bathing and a sense of community, and the winter holidays offer opportunities for shared experiences for both children and adults.
At the same time, winter is a good season to spend time indoors. Cosy cafés and local eateries provide welcome breaks, while museums across North Zealand offer cultural experiences that can be easily combined with time spent in nature.
Here you’ll find inspiration for winter experiences throughout North Zealand – from activities for the whole family and winter bathing to ideas for exploring the area during the winter months.

Here, powerful tales of Danish history and cultural heritage await, stories you don't want to miss.

Do not forget the most important thing: You must taste Zealand: the good life, the excellent food, the good drinks and the unforgettable experiences. When you want to satisfy your hunger, you can enjoy the food and cosiness in one of the authentic harbour towns or one of the two castle towns. The local food producers supply fresh ingredients with juice, power and flavour grown and bred with respect for craftsmanship and animal welfare. Find them in farm shops, harvest markets, and selected restaurants in Zealand.
Across the region and in the National Park Royal North Zealand, marked routes and trails take you through deep forests and open spaces, along the beach and near beautiful lakes, and to places with stunning views. Hop on a bike or lace up your hiking boots and go on an adventure. You’ll slow down and open all your senses to the impressions of nature, right here and now. This is also called mindfulness.
