Sealand, Denmark

The island of Sealand (also known as Zealand) consists of several regions.

Copenhagen, founded in 1167, was established as a trader's port. It's proximity to Sweden has contributed to Copenhagen's development into an international hub for travel, business and teaching.

North Sealand is distinguished by it's many castles and forests. It has been a favored retreat for Denmark's monarchs. The 60km-long Kattegat coast from Hundested to Helsingør (Elsinore) not only has some of Sealands best bathing beaches, but also boasts a rolling landscape of steep hills, hardy plantations and fascinating shoreside forest.

Roskilde is situated in one of the most scenic areas of natural beauty in Denmark - in the middle of Sealand, yet close to Copenhagen. Roskilde is a natural base for an adventurous holiday, meetings, courses and conferences.

South Sealand, Lolland, Falster and Møn comprise one of the most beautiful and peaceful regions in Denmark. Møns Klint with its white cliffs is thought by many to be Denmarks greatest natural attraction. In addition there are the many wonderful castles and manor houses. The island of Lolland has Ålholm Castle (Denmarks largest car museum) and Knuthenborg (Northern Europes largest wildlife park). First-class bathing beaches are found everywhere: Ulvshale on the island of Møn, Marielyst on the island of Falster and the whole of the Lolland-island Baltic coast.

West Sealand boasts some of the finest and most impressive scenery in the whole of Denmark with many small fjords, tranquil harbours, lakes and islets. Bathing beaches of the highest quality are found everywhere in this region: the Great Belt coast, Sejerø Bay and all the small and unspoilt beauty spots up and down the coasts.
