Hunting & Fishing

A varied manor landscape

The varied manor landscape with a mixture of forest, farmland, meadows, wetlands and lakes offers unique opportunities to create ideal conditions for nature management, hunting and fishing. As the first Danish estate ever, Gisselfeld Monastery has received the ELO's Wildlife Estate Label, which is exclusively awarded to those who show special consideration for flora and fauna in their daily operations.

Gisselfeld Kloster demonstrates care and responsibility for its biotopes, which is reflected in the estate's game and fish management.

Species in the fauna offer a bit of everything – the protected ones included

The list of species in Gisselfeld's fauna is long, and the estate works purposefully to optimise the natural areas, so that optimal conditions for the fauna can be maintained.

On Gisselfeld's nature areas, you can experience, among other things: sika deer, fallow deer, roe deer, hares, foxes, pheasants and partridges, as well as many species of geese and ducks.

Furthermore, nature and bird lovers can enjoy a variety of rare species of both mammals and birds.
