About Skamlingsbanken
Skamlingsbanken is the highest point in Southern Jutland, a small mountain that rises 113 metres above sea level. From the top of Skamlingsbanken you can look out over the water called Lillebælt. And maybe catch a glimpse of the Little Belt Bridge.
Skamlingsbanken is a historically important place. A place where many people met and where important speeches were made. A place where many have spoken up for their cause - something that was particularly important to them. Speeches that have influenced the way we live today.

Nature is calling you
The nature at Skamlingsbanken is just beautiful and with plenty of room to play. Skamlingsbanken was formed during the last ice age more than 15,000 years ago. A large glacier moved up through the Little Belt and pushed rocks and gravel ahead of it, forming the hills. On Skamlingsbanken you'll find meadows, fields and forest, and plenty of trails to explore. Take a brisk walk down to the water through the forest.
