Welcome to an idyllic holiday home surrounded by nature and wildlife.
House-ID: FJ1004Welcome to Sandbakken
You are entering a cosy, old farmhouse that has been in the family for three generations. The original house has been carefully preserved and blends in nicely with the renovations carried out over the last 10-15 years. The large kitchen-diner has plenty of space for preparing meals, and the wood-burning stove creates a lovely cosy atmosphere. From here, you can look out into the garden – or rather, the park, as the 5,500 m² plot is surrounded by fields and forest as far as the eye can see. The living room also has a wood-burning stove and TV, and this is where you can curl up with a glass of wine or coffee while immersing yourself in a good book or playing board games together. In the northern wing, there are three bedrooms, and you pass the two before reaching the bathroom and the bedroom ‘the barn’, which was originally a barn but has now been converted into a really cosy bedroom with the original barn windows.
Enjoy life outdoors
The holiday home is surrounded by peaceful nature, with open spaces, trees and opportunities to experience wildlife up close. The area invites you to relax, unwind and enjoy the outdoors.
The natural grounds offer space for playing in the forest, cosy gatherings around the campfire and ball games. The large wooden terrace is the gathering point for enjoyment and relaxation. Make yourself comfortable in the wilderness bath with a cold drink, listen to and smell nature. You are neighbours with horse paddocks, and if you have your own horse, you can bring it with you on holiday and keep it in the paddock; this must of course be agreed in advance. There are five bicycles in the shed, which you are welcome to use. This oasis is close to the cycle path that leads to Kulhuse or Jægerspris, so you can take a trip along the shooting range where the military organises free guided tours by bicycle in the summer in a fantastic and exciting area rich in nature and wildlife. There are also good cycle paths and routes in Nordskoven.
Get close to local experiences
Take a trip to the beach at either Isefjord or Roskilde Fjord, just a few minutes from the holiday home. In Kulhuse, there is a sandy beach close to the harbour where the Columbus ferry can take you to Sølager and North Zealand. Take a walk in Nordskoven, where you can enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by three oak trees with a history dating back more than 1,000 years. In Jægerspris, you can visit Jægerspris Castle and take a walk in the castle park, see Countess Danner's grave and finish your trip with an ice cream in one of Denmark's most popular ice cream parlours. There are many opportunities for hiking or cycling in the area, including the Fjord Trail, which takes you along the fjord and into the

Recommendations from Holiday home owner
Welcome to Sandbakken.
Welcome to Sandbakken, our little gem nestled in the Danish countryside. This small family home is now owned by the third generation and has been lovingly restored from its former state – complete with a well in the courtyard and an outhouse – to what it is today.
We hope you will enjoy your days in the countryside, which is very close by here. Animals and insects largely consider this their home, so they are all around you.
Deer, foxes, badgers and mice are regular visitors around the house. There is a rich birdlife, with many birds nesting in the house itself. Another regular visitor is the giant hornet, which is large but also extremely peaceful unless provoked by being chased.
The unspoilt nature also supports a rich insect life, where the mosquito is likely to be the most persistent visitor. Mosquito repellent and mosquito coils help. Spiders are also very fond of the place. We diligently remove their webs, but they are eager to make new ones.
Nord Forest is quite a large forest and can be difficult to find your way around without a map. There is an app for this; it’s really good and is called “Topo GPS”. The forest is known for the Nordic region’s oldest oak trees, which are still alive and around 2,000 years old. Storkeegen and Snogeegen are also worth a visit. Not far from Snogeegen, a pair of sea eagles make their home. It’s a tremendous experience to see this great bird in flight – the ‘flying door’, as it’s known.
We hope you’ll feel at home and enjoy the natural surroundings of the house. The plot covers 5,500 m², so the small wood behind the house is perfect for children to run about in, or for gathering branches for a bonfire.
