Could anybody recommend some good summerhouse locations that are easily accessible from Copenhagen? Ideally in Sjælland, and since I don’t have a car I am planning on taking the train and then cycle to the summerhouse
Stillinge Strand is an overlooked gem. Bought a summer house there during the first COVID lockdown and have enjoyed it since then all year round.
It's well connected from Copenhagen and only takes about 1,5 hrs via train + bus, so you could easily bring your bike on the train. We don't own a car and only use public transport to get to and from our summer house.
Prices here are also typically lower than if you look along the northern coast of Zealand.
Ya gotta go north.
Around Dronningmølle maybe? Humlebæk if you want to be closer to Copenhagen.
Dronningmølle Strand is amazing
Melby, liseleje, asserbo, Hundested, Frederiksværk.
South is also an option
South of Nakskov, there's is a lot of summerhouses, and you can get to Nakskov by train via Nykøbing F
What’s your plan just to do a rentel ore you in the market to buy
I am looking to buy. I should have specified earlier. Would occasionally rent a car especially when there is a need to carry big things, but most times would like to get to the sumnerhouse using public transport + bike.
Odsherred is reachable from Copenhagen. During the summer theres more busses from Holbæk as well.
I have a summerhouse 2 km from Asserbo. We cykle from Tisvildeleje, unless the weather is bad, then we take the bus from Helsinge or Frederiksværk. The bus allows the bikes onboard. The full trip is between 1,5 to 2 hours depending on the time of day.
Most of the North coast is easily accesible by a train/bike combo.
But also Faxe Ladeplads and Rødvig if you want to go south
My best purchase is my summerhouse in Gilleleje. Easy trainjourney from CPH, lots of things to do also outside the season, as its not only a summertown but an all year round town, with a wonderful harbour, a culturecenter with a cinema and library and lots of amazing restaurants...you wont regret a buy here! The beaches are great, and very stunning walks around the lighthouse and the Fyrstien is formidable with out of this world views overlooking the water❤️❤️❤️
Korsør is probably the train station in Denmark located closest to a summerhouse area – because of the Great Belt bridge, they moved the train station north of the city 25 years ago. I bought a summerhouse on this street relatively recently:
Never considered that area before, but absolutely love it. 1 hour straight from Copenhagen by train, and then a 15-minute walk or 5 minutes on bike.
Technically you can travel to Beijing from Copenhagen by train...
What’s your budget?
Odsherred has a ton of summerhouses, is accessible via trains and bike and it's a really lovely area with lots to offer, especially during the summer... look up names like Gudmindrup, Ellinge Lyng, Ordrup, Veddinge, Høve, Højby, Vig Lyng, Stenstrup and surrounding places.
