In Kystlandet, right in the heart of Denmark’s east coast, you will find a diverse and ever-changing landscape. With an archipelago, three fjords, the lakes of the southern Søhøjlandet and Denmark’s only river, water is a natural part of the experience wherever you go. The natural surroundings are generally made easily accessible, with a strong focus on public access, offering a wide range of routes and facilities. 

Kystlandet is not one vast natural area. Instead, it is a collection of diverse nature experiences, all within easy reach of one another. Here, fjords, forests, islands, coastlines and rolling hills come together in a varied glacial landscape where nature is easy to access and perfect for active exploration. You will not find the biggest, longest or highest natural attractions here, but you will discover an exceptional diversity of landscapes. Within just a 30-minute drive, you can experience deep fjords, the open Kattegat coastline, beech forests, rolling hills, river valleys, lakes, bogs, coastal meadows, islands and cultivated farmland. It is great for wildlife – and ideal if you enjoy experiencing a wide variety of nature during your stay.

The landscape has been shaped primarily by the immense forces of the Ice Age and later refined by the many local estates and manor houses that once owned vast areas of land used for farming and forestry. Although many of the features of today's landscape have been influenced by human activity, the area is also home to numerous wildlife reserves, protected landscapes and nature parks – places where nature comes first and people are simply visitors.
