It is more than 5 km and surrounded by beautiful nature in @nationalparkskjoldungernesland

The open-air island at Veddelev is back! 😎🤩

Last Friday, @naturstyrelsen and @nationalparkskjoldungernesland pull the island out and place it south of Veddelev. The island is a resting place for everyone who moves on the fjord 🏄‍♀️🚣‍♀️🏊‍♂️

The open-air island is located south of the small island of Elleore, which is an important place for the breeding birds 🦆🐦 The birds need peace and quiet to breed - and therefore Elleore, like the other small islands and islets in Roskilde Fjord, is protected in the period 1 April to 15 July. 🤗

However, with the open-air island, it is still possible to take a rest with a fantastic fjord view 😍
