The Gardens on Christiansø

Small green oases behind stone walls on Christiansø

As you explore Christiansø, you can see the island's small allotment gardens, tucked away behind thick stone walls near the Ertholmene cemetery.

The small gardens are a distinctive sight in the otherwise rugged, rocky landscape. The shelter provided by the stone walls and their ability to retain the sun's warmth create favorable conditions for plants, even though the Baltic Sea and the brisk sea breeze are never far away.

Stop by and enjoy the sight of these small green oases, which offer a glimpse of everyday life on Christiansø and the islanders' way of making the most of their unique surroundings.

Please note: The allotment gardens are private, so admire them from publicly accessible areas and respect the residents' privacy.
