Descrizione

Hellebæk is on the north coast of Zealand, around 15 km east of Gilleleje. The landscape is hilly with mixed conifer and deciduous woodland (mostly beech), arable land and grassy fields, ponds, streams, and birch and alder scrub.

It is especially the migrating raptors and Gru, that can pass by in thousands, that make this area a special one. In autumn, migration starts at the end of August with a few Falco pecchiaiolo and Falco pescatore, but the best migration days are from the last week in September to the middle of October, when one can see thousands of buzzards in one day.

Spring migration: the most popular observation site is the open hillside around the demolished farm of Hellebæk Avlsgård.

Autumn migration: there are various places on the coast where there are good views of the raptors approaching land. This migration covers quite a broad front from Ålsgårde in the north to Kronborg in the south, one of the best sites is Julebæk.
