Svanholm community - woodland shelters near Skibby

A peaceful base in Svanholm Forest

The shelter site is set in a clearing in Svanholm Forest, near the historic Svanholm Estate and its well-known co-housing community. The area is quiet and relaxed, with tall trees, birdsong and a welcome distance from traffic and urban life. It is ideal for hikers, cyclists and families looking for simple accommodation close to nature. The two shelters can be booked in advance. Each sleeps five people and is reserved separately; make a booking for each shelter if you need both. Book Svanholm’s shelters.

Shelters and facilities

The site has two shelters, each sleeping five people, as well as good space for pitching tents. There is a covered dining area, fire pits, a composting toilet and access to running water. This creates a pleasant setting for cooking over an open fire, relaxing and enjoying cosy evenings outdoors.

Close to routes and local experiences

Svanholm is an excellent stop on longer journeys. The Fjord Path and Regional Route 40 run along the Isefjord about 6 km west of the estate and are popular with both walkers and cyclists. The Pontoppidan Route passes about 4 km away near Skibby, providing easy access to the area. The combination of woodland, fjord and open countryside makes this a suitable place for both short stays and longer breaks.
