In the peaceful countryside near Havnsø and Føllenslev in Kalundborg Municipality lies Skortskær Besøgsgård – a small, welcoming visiting farm where meeting the animals and the close farm life take centre stage. Here both children and adults can get right up close to a friendly group of animals in rural surroundings and experience the calm and atmosphere of an authentic West Zealand farm.

At the visiting farm, all the animals are treated as pets and live under free conditions. This creates a warm and safe atmosphere where you can pet, greet and get to know the farm's residents at their own pace. For the youngest visitors it is an experience at a child's level, where curiosity and joy are given free rein, while the grown-ups can enjoy the relaxed rural idyll.

It is the combination of animals, nature and cosy togetherness that makes a visit special. All year round the farm follows the rhythm of nature and farming, and every visit offers its own little glimpse of the farming year. The close, informal atmosphere makes the experience light and natural, whether you come with children, friends or your partner.

Skortskær Besøgsgård is an obvious excursion for the whole family. There is room to explore, sense rural life and spend a pleasant moment together, far from the bustle of the city. The calm atmosphere and personal presence make it a good place to gather around a shared experience.

The location is an experience in itself. The farm lies only about 1 km from the water and close to Havnsø Harbour, with the beautiful West Zealand nature and views towards the island of Sejerø right outside the door. After a visit to the farm you can explore the area on foot or by bike and experience the wonderful nature from heath to coast.
