Winterbadepunkt Lohals

On the northern tip of Langeland, you can go for a winter swim from Lohals Nordstrand north of Lohals Harbour.
There are beautiful views of the archipelago and the beach is surrounded by forest.

Winter bathing spot

Lohals Nordstrand has been selected for the Danish Outdoor Council's pilot project with winter bathing points.
In order to be able to hoist the Winter Bathing Centre flag, it is a requirement that water samples are taken during the winter at maximum 30-day intervals and, of course, that the samples show a high water quality. However, during the pilot phase, the Outdoor Council will focus on bathing safety in particular.
