back in town :-)

Our holiday was as relaxing as we hoped but it's good to be back in our beloved Amsterdam ( and to have Internet connection again:-)..... Here's some info about Hejlsminde where we spent the last week...

Hejlsminde is a small and cosy holiday and harbour town, which is situated by the Little Belt.

Hejlsminde is situated by the Little Belt, with a view of Funen, in a scenic area near forest, beach, sights and nature attractions. The town has a cosy boat harbour.
Right behind the town and the lock the bird sanctuary 'Hejlsminde Nor' is situated and further inland you will find the scenic nature area 'Skamlingsbanken'.
The nature, surrounding Hejlsminde, is characterized by hills, valleys, green areas and beautiful beech forests, which grow all the way down to the water.
The bird sanctuary 'Hejlsminde Nor' is a shallow cove with a surface of about 350 hectares, which borders on forest of reeds, fields and meadows.
From 'Skamlingsbanken' towards north, the landscape falls gradually towards 'Hejlsminde Nor'. 'Skamlingsbanken' is a scenic nature area with the highest point in South Jutland (113 metres). From here you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Little Belt, Funen and the area between Kolding and Christainsfeld. This area is characterized by large elevations and deep gorges. The landscape appears lush with slightly hilly fields, beech forests, field boundaries and hedges along the roads.
