Wildflower Season

The Denmark countryside is adorned with wildflowers from mid-winter through to late summer. The best places to see wildflowers in Denmark are along the many walking trails or the national parks and nature reserves. The best way of viewing local wildflowers is to go with an expert guide. Wildflower tours led by a local naturalist run everyday during the spring. To book a wildflower tour contact the tour desk in the Denmark Visitor Centre on (08) 9848 2814 or email.
