Stavns Fjord
A shallow fjord on the east side of Samsø, enclosed by sandy spits and dotted with more than a dozen small islands. It is an important seabird reserve in Denmark and suits birdwatching, kayaking and hiking.
Stavns Fjord is a shallow inlet in the northeast of Samsø, enclosed by Besser Rev and the Langør Peninsula. More than a dozen uninhabited small islands scatter across the water. The whole area is a nature and bird reserve, where you can see common eiders, oystercatchers, terns and seals. There are several trails and birdwatching spots around the fjord, and the trail starting from Langør Harbour is the most popular. Kayak rentals are available in summer. Some islands and shoreline sections are closed to landing during the bird breeding season, so follow the signs when on the water. There are few facilities along the shore, so bring water and a windproof jacket.
Opening hours
All day (some areas closed during breeding season)
