Accommodation in Nature

Around nature you can find shelters that are either on public or private land. In Denmark, there is 1 owner of a shelter and it can be either a municipality, the Danish Nature Agency or a private person.

All shelters located on the map below are publicly available, but some need a booking and others do not.

How do I know if a shelter should be booked?

This depends on who manages the shelter and the space therefor.

The Danish Nature Agency
- Shelters on campsites can be booked.
- Shelter in primitive accommodation can not bookes.
commune
- Depends on the individual space.
- However, most shelters need to be booked.
Private shelters
- Depends on each individual owner
- Most, however, must be booked

If you click on a shelter on the map below, it will say whether you need to book or not.

Booking of shelters

When you book a shelter with the Danish Nature Agency or the municipality, you have the first right to the shelter. You can therefore ask others to provide space if there are already people on site when you arrive.

If you book via private, the rules are generally the same, unless otherwise stated.

However, this does not mean that you always have the shelter to yourself. The call from the Danish Nature Agency is thus that the shelter should be shared.

If you want the shelter for yourself, then the best idea is to order from a private landlord.

We also recommend booking your shelter via: https://bookenshelter.dk/vadehavet/

You can find this at shelters:

One or more open wooden cabins with roof.
In some places there is also a campfire site.
In some places there is a public toilet.
Some shelters can be rotated 360 degrees to shield from the wind and provide the best views.

You must always have this with you:

Sleeping gear (sleeping bag, pillows and warm clothes in cold months)
Firewood (sometimes you can collect in nearby area)
Food (always remember water, as it is often not a water item)
