Fur

Fur, a Danish island in the middle of the Limfjord, was named the most beautiful island of the year by readers of a Danish daily newspaper in 2010. Spend your summer vacation in Limfjorden on Fur! It's gorgeous, with peaceful beaches, white cliffs, and plenty of fossils to find. On this 8.5-square-mile island, you will also find Bronze Age burial mounds and a small brewery that brews beer for the entire island.

Fur's exceptional natural beauty, in particular, has made this island a popular tourist destination. There are tall moclay cliffs on the island where geology aficionados can locate fossils, reptiles, and insects. The moclay is made up of roughly 200 ash layers, which may be seen in the cliffs' well-preserved formations. Other parts of Fur include ravines formed by ice age erosion, making it a particularly stunning natural location. In other words, if you're planning a vacation on Fur, don't forget to pack your good hiking shoes.
