Denmark, meanwhile, gets filed under "canals and pastries." That reputation is underserved, and frankly a little lazy. Hiking in Denmark will take you across wind-scoured coastal heaths, through ancient beech forests that UNESCO saw fit to protect, along sea cliffs that drop hard into the Kattegat, and down sand dune ridgelines so dramatic they have swallowed entire villages whole.
