Langeland 26 May 2012.

My cousin Sanne was visiting Lisbeth and me during the Whitsun holiday, so we had some very intensive days showing Sanne some of the nice places on Langeland.
Our first stop was having lunch at the sea shore.
Our next visit was to Skovsgaard Gods. Skovsgaard Gods is a magnificent stately home and estate set in the countryside of South Langeland. It was bequeathed by its owner to the Danish Society for Nature Conservation. It now houses a large organic farm which is open to the public. There are several exhibitions relating to the countryside of the area. The grounds contain more than ten kilometres of marked nature trails. The museum has beautiful landscaped gardens and houses three museums. It has a restaurant. It was not yet opened when we visited it.
Gulstav mose Our next visit was to Gulstav mose and Downs klint at the southernmost tip of Langeland

Downs klint
Gulstav mose and surrounding areas are famous for its "wild" Exmoor horses. En spændende attraktion i Gulstav Mose er de flotte, vilde heste.
We also visited the nearby village of Bagenkop, where we meet this nice Red-breasted Merganser, Toppet Skallesluger (Mergus serrator) couple
