Beschrijving

Frydenstrand is a small, shallow wading area just north of Frederikshavn harbour. The area is bordered by Palmestranden to the north, the harbour to the south, the Kattegat to the east, and Frederikshavn city to the west. The area consists of shallow coastal waters and mudflats that vary in depth depending on the tide. The area is mostly sheltered by a sandbank located between the flats and the sea. Reed beds and low-growing shrubs are scattered along the coast. There is also a small abandoned marina and a small fortification, Nordre Skanse, surrounded by a moat.

Overall, the area is a good place to observe waders, ducks, and seabirds. Species such as Tureluur, Bonte Strandloper, Bontbekplevier, Scholekster, Goudplevier, Groenpootruiter, Steenloper, Blauwe Reiger, Rotgans, Bergeend, Lepelaar, Zilvermeeuw, Kokmeeuw, Grote Mantelmeeuw can often be seen on the mudflats and on the sandbank.

Toegang

The area is located just north of Frederikshavn habour and is easily accesible on foot, by car, or by bicycle. Parking is available near the small abandoned marina or by the small fortification, and paths from both the north and the south lead to the area. However, the mudflats and outer sandbank should only be accessed on foot, and overall, the area is best explored on foot. And be careful! The mudflats can sometimes be quite slippery. If you arrive in Frederikshavn by train, it is approximately 1.4 km from the train station to the area. The amount of time you should set aside for a visit can vary greatly. Some days there can be quite a lot of activity and many birds to count, while on other days there are virtually no birds. You can extend your visit by walking north along the coast to Palmestranden or south along the pier to observe seabirds.
