Hjortø

With only four permanent residents, Hjortø is among the least-populated islands in Denmark. Hjortø’s diverse nature is often visited by flocks of migrating birds, amongst them the majestic sea eagle and the small wren. The islanders have spotted more than 100 different bird species on Hjortø. If you love the outdoors, Hjortø is the perfect choice. You can spend the night in a shelter or put up your own tent.

You go to Hjortø by ferry from Svendborg. The ferry has room for one car and 12 passengers, so we recommend that you make a reservation (for tickets and timetables, click here). During the 1-hour trip, the ferry makes its way through the stunning Svendborgsund and go past Skarø before entering Hjortø’s small harbour. If you wish to take your own boat, Hjortø’s harbour has 20 guest berths as well as charging stations and a toilet.

Sådan kommer du til Hjortø

Hjortø nås med færge fra Svendborg. I sommerperioden sejler færgen efter en fast sejlplan, og ture skal bestilles senest kl. 12.00 sidste hverdag før afgang. Færgen har plads til 12 passagerer og én bil, så det anbefales at reservere i god tid (se fartplan og køb billetter online). Overfarten tager cirka en time og går gennem det smukke Svendborgsund, forbi Skarø, inden færgen lægger til i Hjortøs lille havn. Ankommer du i egen båd, byder havnen på omkring 20 gæstepladser samt adgang til toilet og el på broerne.
