Naturpark Svanegrund

Naturpark Svanegrund is a large marine nature park in Denmark’s eastern archipelago and Horsens Fjord. Covering approximately 84,000 hectares, it includes coastal waters between the municipalities of Odder, Horsens, Hedensted and Samsø, as well as the islands of Hjarnø, Alrø, Endelave and Tunø. Founded through community advocacy for the protection and recovery of the marine environment, the park works to safeguard this distinctive shallow-water landscape for nature and people.

Its conservation programme includes restoring marine habitats through stone reefs, seagrass planting and mussel reefs, while monitoring ecological change and supporting research. The park also works with volunteers and partners to promote biodiversity and improve public understanding of the area.

For visitors, Naturpark Svanegrund offers guided sea safaris aboard stable RIB boats, guided tours, school activities and other events. These experiences invite people to explore the coastal environment and learn about its wildlife and restoration. The organization also shares information about the park’s geography, history, projects and partners, and aims to strengthen opportunities for outdoor recreation along the coast.
