Autumn on Læsø

Enjoy autumn on Læsø - a season with room for both relaxation and activity for the whole family ...

Autumn is a great time on Læsø. In the forest, the beautiful colours of the leaves cover the canopies, while chanterelles and Karl Johan litter the forest floor. On the beaches, conditions prove great for those with sharp eyes to find amber.

Læsø Klitplantage (dune plantation) is one of the best places in Denmark to find chanterelles. You are allowed to pick the mushrooms for your own consumption, and the small delicacies are typically in abundance from September. Karl Johan mushrooms also grow in the area, along with wild raspberries and blackberries.

At Stokken, you can gather blue mussels at low tide; they sit on poles and rocks and are easy to remove. The low tide makes them easier to see and reach.

During autumn, there are lots of ducks and shorebirds to see on Rønnerne. The birds are migrating south, after spending the summer at their northern breeding grounds.

A raging autumn storm might not be high up on your wishlist, but you should try to walking by the sea during such a day, and continue into the dune plantation, where you are met with shelter and smell of pine trees. A trip to the northern coast of Læsø during fall will give you the best chances of finding amber.

There are plenty of opportunities for both great and completely free experiences around the island for the whole family. And many of Læsø's shops and restaurants have great deals. 

Autumn is simply a great season on Læsø.
