Do you dream of a night in nature with a bonfire, birdsong and a view of the water? At beautiful Egå Engsø you will find an atmospheric shelter site with a genuine Stone Age atmosphere.

The site was built with inspiration from the Stone Age and consists of five shelters, numbered I, II, III, IV and V, which are located in a cozy semicircle.

In front of the shelters is a shared campfire site.
