Welcome
to a realm of natural beauty |
|||
Nature will not disappoint you. And we will do our utmost to fulfil your expectations of the stay. All the conditions are there – both indoors and out. The air and soil surrounding the lake, Mossø, is filled with history. The varied and unique landscape was shaped by the ice cap, which receded from the area 12,000 years ago at the latest. The area is also famous for a cornucopia of sights of both a later and a more recent date. The magnificent nature must be protected, but also used. And there are plenty of opportunities to do just that in the vast open spaces – 26 hectares – that belong to Mossø Camp Resort. Go exploring in the forest and along the beach, take a dive in the lake – the third largest and most abounding in water in Denmark. Or see the lake from a canoe, while you enjoy the peace and quiet around you, and have the time to wait for a trout to bite. At Mossø Camp Resort nature will come closer to you – the best way to a relaxing leisure time. |

The conserved lake, Mossø, is situated in the centre of Jutland. It is the largest lake in Jutland, 10 kilometres long and up to 2 kilometres wide – the size of an inlet. The eastern part of the lake has depths of 22 metres. The western part is shallow with large meadow- and bog areas. The lake is surrounded by meadows, fields and adjoining forestareas. Spots with breathtaking views of the lake |
and
the hilly surroundings are abundant.
Far
away to the south you can see the tall ridges of Ejer Bavnehøj Beacon
and Yding Skovhøj Beacon (173 metres), Denmark’s highest point. Mossø
is also near the Højlund Tableland with Sukkertoppen. Together, the lake itself and the vast adjoining and unreclaimed areas that surround the conserved Mossø form the ideal living conditions |
for a large number of Denmark’s mammals: cloven-footed game, hare, squirrel, polecat, and marten. Some areas are also home to stoat, fox, and badger. And recently, the otter has also returned to the lake. Mossø also has a incredibly plentiful birdlife. In the summer, the most common birds are coot, mallard, black-headed gull, and crested grebe. In the spring and the summer you can also see | black-necked grebe, pochard, graylag, mute swan, and heron. Whooper swans and flocks of mergansers, tufted ducks, common buzzards, goshawks and an osprey-couple can be seen in the winter. All in all a titbit for ornithologists - even kingfishers have breeding grounds here – by Hem Spit among other places. |
