Besøg Sejerø | 12,5 km² Øpas Ø, Børnevenlige Strande, Fyr & Færge

The name Sejerø is known from approx. 1200 as Syra, originally an uncompounded island name, perhaps to a root meaning 'float slowly', later compounded with -ø. The island consists of two rows of single hills along the north and south coasts, separated by a low-lying area of raised seabed, only about 1 meter above sea level. To reach Sejerø you have two options: Either you can take a private boat or use the Sejerø ferry, where the sailing trip lasts about an hour. It is especially important in the high season to pre-book the ferry berth well in advance, especially if you plan to take your car with you on the trip! Sejerø has an area of 12.5 square kilometers and is surrounded by the beautiful Sejerø Bay. The sailing time with the ferry from Havnsø to Sejerø takes about 65 minutes.
