There’s plenty of attractions in town with the historic fire station, old butter factory, Denmark’s first school, and the popular drinking hole the Denmark Hotel.
If you have difficulty choosing just what you want from Denmark’s wide range of accommodation, call in to the Visitor Centre, where you can add your comments to the Bibbulmun Track Register and have a chat with the experienced staff. They also have loads of information about attractions, events and activities for you to enjoy. Explore the town’s maze, alpaca stud, animal farm and sandalwood factory or take a whale watching tour.
If you prefer to travel light with only a day pack, arrange to stay at accommodation where you can be dropped off at a suitable place on the track, and you can walk back home. The Blue Wren Traveller’s Rest offers a three-day fully supported trip from Denmark to Albany. Savour the best of the outdoors, without the struggle!
The town of Denmark was established in 1884 to service the timber industry. It was named after Dr Alexander Denmark, a naval physician and friend of Dr Thomas Wilson, who discovered the Wilson Inlet. Sadly, when the magnificent karri began to run out many people left, leaving only a few settlers to struggle through the ill fated Group Settlement Scheme and the depression of the 1930’s.
However, Denmark survived, and now is a popular tourist destination. Popular scenic drives around Denmark include the Scotsdale Tourist Drive and the Mount Shadforth Scenic Drive. These offer changing vistas of pastured farmland, forest and ocean, with distant views of the Porongurups and Stirling Ranges.
