Island of the Mountains

There is absolutely no doubt that nature is the main attraction on Sejerø.

The island, previously owned by Valdemar Sejr in the 13th century, is very hilly with more than 40 hills colloquially called mountains, each of which has a name. Kongshøj is the highest, rising 30 meters from the surface of the sea.

From Sejerø and east on stretches a gravel bar 3,800 meters from the coast. The reef ends in an underwater hill named Kolen, where you can dive. A few steps further out, the water is ten meters deep.

Growing on the reef Snakehead (Echium vulgare). The many beautiful flowers color the entire beach blue in June.

The wildlife is a chapter in itself. On Sejerø you can experience wild free-roaming peacocks just as there a good population of roe deer.

There are no foxes on the island, which may be one of the reasons why both birds and wildlife thrive in abundance.

If you are into hunting and/or fishing, Sejerø offers exciting opportunities. Twice a year, the deer population is regulated on the island where Sejerø Camping organizes buck hunting with an emphasis on hunting with bow and arrow.

It is also possible to go hunting for hare and pheasant when it is hunting season.

The waters around the island are filled with the finest edible fish Denmark has to offer. Here you can catch sea trout, among other things, cod, turbot and other flatfish and there are good chances of catching mullet, lumpfish, mackerel and garfish when in season.
