Tourism
Some 60,000 people visit Anholt each year. During the summer months the restaurants and the summer shops are open, but the chief attraction is nature in the form of clean water, calm, beauty, and fresh air. From the two highest points on the island, Sønderbjerg (48 m) or Nordbjerg (39 m), on a clear day one can see Jutland or Sweden.
Anholt has no luxury hotels or resorts but there is an Inn, which is a Bed & Breakfast. Visitors can also rent a traditional Danish summerhouse, of which there are about 30. Lastly, there is a campground.
One can reach Anholt via a daily ferry from Grenå that takes about three hours to make the transit. The harbour, Anholt Havn, contains a marina. The ferry will detour around the wind farm, which will compensate for the increased fuel consumption in order to maintain sailing schedules.
Anholt has an airport (ICAO-code:EKAT) with a 650 meter-long grass runway. There are daily air flights to Anholt during the summer and weekly flights in the winter. The flights depart from Roskilde airport via Copenhagen Air Taxi. The flights also go on to Læsø Island, and return to Roskilde from there, via Anholt. One can also fly from Varberg, Sweden, via charter from Varbergs flygklubb.
