Enjoy summer evenings on the large wooden terrace overlooking the sea. Be surrounded by protected nature and beautiful hiking routes in the middle of a pristine forest valley. Watch the Samsø ferry sail by in the distance and take a day trip to the island With a helping hand or two, the hosts have designed and built the longhouse themselves using natural materials out of respect for the surrounding nature.
