Wild Rabbits and Scenic Views
Endelave, often referred to as "Rabbit Island," is home to a fascinating population of wild rabbits that run freely. It's not uncommon to see a little rabbit hopping along playfully, and since the late 1920s, the island has been a sanctuary for these adorable creatures. During the breeding season, which begins in February, the rabbits can have up to four litters, with two to eight rabbits in each. Visiting the island during this season is truly an unforgettable experience.
In addition to the cute rabbits, a unique nature experience awaits at Øverste Ende, similar to “Grenen” in Skagen. While there aren't two different seas meeting, you'll feel as if you're standing in the heart of Kattegat, gazing out at the ocean as far as the eye can see.
You’ll also find a beautiful beach, often visited by only a few. However, be aware that there are no facilities nearby—just you and the breathtaking nature surrounding you.
