On the adder safari and birdwatching tours the dog must stay at home, as it disturbs the wildlife. On other tours: ask us in advance and we will work something out.

The tours go ahead in most weather – nature is out there regardless. In dangerous weather or conditions where the tour makes no sense, we cancel or reschedule, and you will be notified directly.

All around the peninsula – several of the tours start at Gjerrild Nordstrand in northern Djursland. The meeting point is stated on each tour page with a map and a QR code for Google Maps.

Yes. As a rule you may forage for your own consumption – roughly one carrier bag per day. In public forests you may forage everywhere; in private forests only what you can reach from roads and paths, from 6 a.m. until sunset. You may not dig up plants by the roots or forage commercially. Read more under How to forage.

Only eat what you are 100% sure about. Wild garlic (ramsons) is recognised by the strong garlic smell when a leaf is rubbed – the poisonous lookalikes have no smell at all. If in doubt, leave it be. If you suspect poisoning: call the Danish Poison Control Hotline (Giftlinjen) on +45 82 12 12 12 (open 24 hours).

Wild garlic: March–May. Elderflower: June. Sea buckthorn: August–November. Mushrooms: August–October. Blue mussels: October–April. See the full foraging calendar on Taste Djursland.

Your chances are best early in the morning around sunrise, late in the afternoon around sunset, and on calm, overcast days. With 3,000–4,000 animals, Djursland has one of Denmark's largest populations of free-roaming red deer – read more on the page about the red deer safari.

The adder is Denmark's only venomous snake, but bites on humans are rare – it would rather flee than bite. If you see an adder, stand still and enjoy the sight from a distance. The adder is protected, like all Danish reptiles. If you want to see it up close, join the adder safari.
