Denmark: A Haven for Nature Lovers
Though bearing the same name of a country, Denmark is a coastal village with a forested landscape located in Western Australia. It got its name from its European settlers who exploited the town’s timber resources. Nonetheless, it has retained its natural beauty and even became a popular holiday destination and a preferred location for many early retirees. It still remains a fertile land, but its main industry now is focused on wine production. The Albany Airport (ALH) is 37 miles away from this quaint town.
Best Time to Visit
The summer season, which falls months from December to February are the peak seasons of this place. If you want to avoid the high Denmark hotel rates, but still want to get the most out of this town, book your stay during the spring season so you can witness its foliage change to a different hue.
