November 8, 2025, Wetland Birdwatching Spot

Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring binoculars to fully enjoy the birdwatching opportunities in the wetlands. Visit early in the morning for the best chance to see a variety of bird species in a peaceful atmosphere.

In Humlebæk you can find many beautiful houses, some of them directly on the beach, which still have a thatched roof.

Beautiful little public beach with a small park and views all the way to Sweden. Highly recommended for a break. In Humlebæk, overlooking the straits to Sweden, Danish artist Per Arnoldi created the sculpture "October 1943", a rowing boat made of black granite. It stands on Peder Mads Strand south of Slettenhus. During the occupation, Slettenhus housed Hotel Gylfe, a meeting place for Danish resistance fighters and a hiding place for Danish Jews before they sailed from Sletten Havn to Sweden.
