Denmark

Denmark is a small tourist oriented town in Western Australia. It has numerous arts and craft shops, coffee shops and lots of holiday accommodation. It has surrounding wineries and places of scenic beauty. It is within an hours drive of Albany.

The town centre is easily small enough to explore by foot. To see the surrounding areas you will need a car, or take a bus tour.

The mild climate, the restfulness, the space and the wonders of nature make Denmark a popular tourist destination. Nature lovers like Denmark for its pristine beaches, walk trails, undulating landscape, tall trees and wildflowers. The environment and most especially the National Parks are carefully monitored and managed and all beaches are well looked after. The Tree Top Walk in the Valley of the Giants near Nornalup in the west part of the Shire of Denmark helps to understand the majesty of the Karri Forest.

In 2007 Denmark opened a Visitor Centre in a totally new set-up. It is an interpretive centre, where guests can get information about things to be seen and make bookings. The centre has a shop, an art gallery and a wine and food room where visitors will find ample information about the wineries and eateries in Denmark and about local produce. The centre also has a woodturner's workshop, where demonstrations are given. The pièce de résistance is the Barometer Tower, which houses The Bert Bolle Barometer, a 12-metre (39 ft) high water barometer, recognised as the largest in the world.
