Anholt is an island of wildflowers and birdsong, with less than 200 permanent residents. It is in the middle of the Kattegat Sea, bounded by Denmark’s Jutlandic peninsula. Kattegat Sea is a continuation of the Skagerrak, which opens to the North Sea. The isolated island is a natural haven of spotted seals. The area near the lighthouse is a seal sanctuary, while the hilly western part is moraine country. Ancient sand dunes have become low hills, and most of the island is a raised seabed. The treeless Stone Age desert (Ørkenen) on the eastern portion is a unique topography uncommon in Europe. Anholt has two inhabited villages to welcome to this pearl of nature, and now is the best time to explore these. Check out our list of the top six Airbnb vacation rentals in Anholt, Denmark.
