A nice little campsite directly on the connection from Julsø to Brassø.
There are no designated pitches, you set up your tent wherever there is space.
The area is great for hiking and mountain biking, as well as paddling.

Beautiful hike along Julsø Lake, through foliage 🌳 and coniferous forest 🌲
Normal for experienced hikers. Not suitable for prams! Very nice narrow and wide paths! Conditionally suitable for mountain bikes 🚵‍♀️, as some sections of the route are closed to 🚲. So a pure hiking route recommendation!!!
