Camping On Langeland

The campsite is drenched in sunshine as a chorus of various species of birds reverberates all around from high atop the trees. The vibrant voices of excited children playing mingle with nature’s calls of the wild. Every once in a while, as you lay looking up at the cloudless sky, you will feel the wind abuzz with honeybees. Langeland is a Danish island located between the Great Belt and Bay of Kiel. The island measures 285 km² (c. 110 square miles) and, as of 1 January 2010, has a population of 13,277.

A bridge connects it to Tåsinge viaSiø - a small island with a population of approx. 20 - and the main island of Funen (to the northwest). There are connections by car ferry to the islands of Lolland, Ærø, and Strynø. Rudkøbing, the island's largest town, is the birthplace of famous physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted, his brother, Anders Sandøe Ørsted, a former Danish prime minister, and their uncle, botanist Anders Sandøe Ørsted.
