Nature experiences on Zealand

On Zealand, Fjordlandet stretches just 30 minutes from Copenhagen, offering landscapes that invite calm and reflection. Here, nature shifts character between open Ice Age landscapes, gentle hills and long views across the fjord, where the pace naturally slows and there is space to enjoy nature at your own rhythm.

The area around Roskilde, Lejre and Frederikssund offers a varied interplay of historic cultural landscapes, forests, paths and tranquil stretches of fjord. You can take long walks, cycle along winding roads or find a quiet spot overlooking the water. Fjordlandet brings together these nature experiences in one place, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors – whether you are looking to raise your pulse or escape the stresses of everyday life.

In Fjordlandet, it is easy to get out and experience nature, regardless of pace or experience. You can hire bikes and enjoy a cycling holiday along quiet roads through open landscapes, or lace up your walking boots and choose between short and long walks at your own pace. For families and less experienced visitors, there are child-friendly routes, and you can also go on a “troll hunt” as a playful nature experience.

The area is also home to Skjoldungernes Land National Park, which features traces of the Viking Age, as well as excellent opportunities for canoeing on the fjord – both on guided tours and independently.
