What is the best time to see the "Black Sun" (Sort Sol) in Højer?

The famous Sort Sol, where thousands of starlings perform spectacular dances in the sky, is one of the most sought-after natural phenomena in the region. The best chance to see this is in the spring (March/April) and the autumn (September/October). The salt marshes around Højer are one of the best places in Denmark to witness this.

Is a holiday in Højer child-friendly?

Absolutely. A family holiday in Højer offers a safe and peaceful environment. Many families choose Højer as a base because it is more affordable than the busy coastal towns, while attractions such as LEGOLAND® (about an hour's drive away) and the wide motorable beaches of Rømø are within easy reach.

Can I drive to the beach at Højer?

Højer itself lies behind a dike and has no sandy beach directly at the village, but the surrounding area does! Many tourists look for the unique motorable beach of Rømø, where you can drive your car right up to the waterline. This is a short drive away and is an absolute must-see during your stay.

What about the prices? Is a holiday in Denmark expensive?

Although Denmark has a reputation for being expensive, going on holiday cheaply in Europe is perfectly possible in this region. By booking a holiday home via Leisure Time, you save significantly on restaurant costs by cooking yourself with local Danish products. Moreover, the biggest attraction — the impressive nature of the Wadden Sea — is completely free.

Do I need a vignette or special pass to drive from Germany to Højer?

No, no vignette is required for Danish motorways. Because Højer is located right on the border, many travelers combine their stay with a day of shopping in the German Süderlügum or a trip to the chic island of Sylt (accessible via the train connection from nearby Niebüll).

Can I drink tap water in my holiday home in Højer?

Yes, the tap water in Denmark is among the cleanest in the world and is of excellent quality. You don't need to buy heavy bottles of water in the supermarket, which also saves on the holiday budget!
