Shelters in Julianehøj Forest at Svanholm Estate

Scenic location by Svanholm Estate

The campsite and shelters are quietly situated in the woodland on the opposite side of Svanholm Allé, just across from the main building of Svanholm Estate near the town of Skibby. Follow the path behind the bust of Bille Brahe to reach the site. Here you stay in calm, green surroundings with direct access to forest trails.

The site connects to one of the marked nature trails leading to Julianehøj, the highest point in Hornsherred - a peninsula between Roskilde Fjord and Isefjord. From the top, you can see as far as Roskilde Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Trail maps are available at the campsite.

Facilities in natural surroundings

There are two small wooden shelters, each accommodating around four people, as well as ample space for tents. Facilities include a covered dining area, two fire pits, a composting toilet and running water. The simple setup offers an authentic outdoor experience while still providing basic comfort.

Access to showers, drinking water and flushing toilets may be arranged by prior agreement. Please note that the campsite area is clearly defined, and guests are kindly asked to respect the private areas of the estate.

Booking and payment

Overnight stays require payment. See Svanholm’s prices and payment information on Udinaturen and arrange your stay when reserving.

Advance booking is recommended. For reservations and enquiries, contact Svanholm Oplevelser, Svanholm Gods 16A, 4050 Skibby, Denmark, at svanholmrundt@svanholm.dk.

Guided tours and experiences

Staying at the campsite does not grant access to the entire estate or the residential community. If you would like to learn more about Svanholm, which is one of Denmark’s best-known eco-communities, you are welcome to join a guided tour.

Svanholm offers guided tours during the season. See the estate’s website for current options and meeting points. Larger groups can enquire about a separate tour in Danish or English.

Visitors are also welcome to see the goat enclosure by the café and the dairy barn housing around 120 Jersey cows and young stock. Afternoon milking usually begins around 4 pm. Please behave calmly and respectfully around the animals and staff.
