Sevel Camping

Woodland walks can be had right from the site; follow the waymarked red path through small forests and glades and alongside the fields that surround the village. Gjæven valley also comes highly recommended by the Sevel team, as a birdwatching and wildlife spotting haven. During the summer months the park organises guided walking tours around the area, as well as horse-drawn carriage tours of the moors and the lakes. Two signposted regional cycle paths pass through Sevel, as does the 3,600-kilometre Marguerite route, which takes cyclists around a thousand of Denmark's hidden cultural and natural attractions. There's plenty more walking and cycling over at Stubbergård Lake, as well as a 13th-century Benedictine convent ruin to be explored, and fishing, sailing and canoeing to get stuck into at the lake's southern basin. Another boon for anglers staying at Sevel Camping is that the sparklingly clean Karup river lies only seven kilometres from base and is famed for its stock of large sea trout. Rumour has it that anglers have caught specimens weighing more than a whopping 15 kilos and measuring more than a metre in Karup's pristine waters.
