Brigsted Shelterplads

GPS coordinates: 55.87707959536077, 10.009240952385493 The site has 2 shelters, a large fire pit, a toilet, and space for tents. Here is 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 has excellent bathing water quality, very shallow water - good for children - where you can swim, wade, and catch shore crabs at sunset. A good place to watch birds during the day; wading birds, cormorants, and the sea eagle pair that breeds on the protected island Vorsø, which you can see across to. A good place to stargaze at night if it’s clear, as there is low light pollution and a clear view of the sky. Maybe you’ll hear the long-eared owl… Facilities: • Accommodation for up to 12 people (6 in each shelter), possibly tents • Maximum stay of 2 consecutive nights at the site • Tables and benches, as well as a higher kitchen counter • 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 year-round (dry toilet) • Relatively wheelchair-friendly, as one can be dropped off at the parking lot near the shelter and roll across relatively even grass. The site is located on Naturstyrelsen’s land but is established and operated by Horsens Kommune, Natur og Miljø. Shelters can be booked via link. If you have booked the shelter, you have first priority during the booking period, but others may use it until you arrive.
