Brigsted Ophaler-/isætningsplads

Brigsted Beach Haul-out/Launch Site is located close to a parking lot, 2 shelters, a large fire pit, a toilet, and space for tents. Here, you’ll find peace and idyll by Horsens Fjord with flowers and grazing cattle on the salt marshes. The site is sheltered from the land side by an old apple orchard and screened by smaller trees. It’s less than 100 meters to the beach, which boasts excellent bathing water quality and very shallow water – great for children – where you can swim, wade, and catch hermit crabs at sunset. A good spot for birdwatching during the day; wading birds, cormorants, and the sea eagle pair that breeds on the protected island of Vorsø, which you can see across from. A good place for stargazing at night if it’s clear, as there is low light pollution and a clear view of the sky. Perhaps you’ll hear the long-eared owl… Facilities: • Accommodation in a tent or shelter. Shelters can be booked via link. • A maximum of 2 consecutive nights may be spent at the site. • Tables and benches, as well as a higher kitchen table. • Fire pit – bring your own firewood; dry twigs and smaller branches may be collected. • Leave the site clean and tidy – take all trash with you. • Water tap open during the summer half-year, toilet open all year (dry toilet). • Relatively wheelchair accessible, as you can be dropped off at the parking lot near the shelter and roll across fairly even grass. The site is located on Naturstyrelsen’s land but is established and operated by Horsens Municipality, Nature and Environment.
