The heath dune landscape of Finkehede The Finkehede landscape is a beautiful dune landscape with heather surrounded by coniferous forest. The sand was blown here from areas farther west. Until 1967, the Finkehede landscape was covered with forest, but when the trees fell during a violent storm, it was decided to leave the area open. Today the heather has taken over. Galloway cattle graze in the heather dune landscape through which the yellow trail passes. Source: https://de.naturstyrelsen.dk/naturerlebnisse/natur-guide/froeslev-plantage/wandern/#4

A historical location that not only makes you think and also has a current connection to the Danish army.

Historical location that should encourage reflection

A large free campsite with benches and a good fireplace. water on the site and toilets in nearby Frøslevlejr. Beware that the site is in the middle of a "dogforest" where dogs are allowed to run free.

As everywhere in Danish forests, the farmer in the garden or near nature conservation facilities, there are two primitive places to stay in the Frøslev plantation. One here at Karsten Thomsens Plads, the other is at Bossens Sten. The marked here also has a fresh water tap. There are benches and tables. These places may only be used by riders, cyclists or hikers. This is a great facility and I have already used these places. If you stay with the farmer in the garden, you have the same family connection. Sometimes you can buy milk and eggs. There was already in the evening the so popular Aftenkaffe in Denmark. Coffee and cake, served in the pavilion tent of the farmer. Quaint and totally comfortable. Or you set up your tent somewhere deep in the forest or not far from the beach. Hear the animals of the night and the sound of the waves. But please only on the designated places. There are so many in Denmark. If you are cycling or walking, you should definitely try it out. You can not get to know country and people better. There are various information options: www.shelterapp.dk https://naturstyrelsen.dk/naturoplevelser/overnatning/smaa-lejrpladser https://friluftsraadet.dk/overnatning-i-det-fri https://geobuchhandlung.eshop.t-online.de/Overnatning-i-det-fri-Verzeichnis-Naturlagerplaetze-in-Daenemark Let yourself be inspired and I wish you a lot of fun while spending the night outdoors.

Small trail through a wonderful inland dunes heathland. It's just a pleasure to stand on a dune and gaze out over the heather-clad hills. Otherwise, it is quite sparse, as far as the vegetation is concerned. But that's what you wanted. In order to preserve this landscape, it is extensively grazed with Robustrable. At each entrance there are signs with rules of conduct. The animals are used to hikers and dogs, but you should follow the instructions. Just because we did not see any, it does not mean that there were none. Behind the 7 mountains .....; o)

Here is a sad highlight of German / Danish history. The Frøslev internment camp (Frøslevlejren) is located in the middle of the beautiful heath-like landscape and adjacent forest. It was created in 1944, just behind the Danish border in the small town of Frøslev. The dark brown entrance gate is somewhat oppressive, behind it are the barracks. In the middle is the high watchtower with the large spotlight and the roll call area. The original barbed wire is still preserved. Planned for 1,500 prisoners, it was 12,000 prisoners who went through the camp in the coming months until the end of the war. Around 1,600 of these prisoners were transferred to German concentration camps, although there was an agreement with Denmark to prohibit these transfers. 220 of the Danes deported to Germany were murdered. A name plate in the museum commemorates the kidnapped prisoners. Today, the former camp is a meeting place and museum with various exhibitions (e.g. natural exhibition, Amnesty International exhibition, UNO Museum on peacekeeping measures by the Danish military in crisis areas). The whole nicely laid out with well-kept lawns and a small café that invites you to linger. The barracks painted in ox red. To some it may seem grotesque or ironic to find an idyll in this once inhospitable place. But that too is a confrontation with history and a sign of forgiveness and reconciliation that cheerfulness and community has returned to such a sad, dark place. To write down the entire history of the camp here is beyond the scope. Interested go there or visit the homepage: www.froeslevlejren.dk
