In this well-maintained shelter right by a small pond you can find shelter for the night or protection from wind and weather. And when this shows its good side, you can comfortably dangle your feet in the water.

If you spend the night there, please take your rubbish with you. Others want to spend the night there without rats. On the subject of "big business". A small garden shovel makes it possible to "put the pile in a hole and bury it" .... That way you don't step on these "landmines"

A shelter is the easiest way to spend the night outdoors without sleeping directly on the ground under the open sky. Here, you are protected from wind and weather while enjoying an unobstructed view of nature and the surrounding area.

Shelters can be found almost everywhere in DK. Especially on the traditional routes. The adventure begins where the fear ends. Don't worry, you can take the family with you on shelter tours.
