Anchorages in South Funen Archipelago

Eelgrass (ålegræs) anchoring ban — fine up to DKK 10,000

Danish law prohibits anchoring on eelgrass (ålegræs) beds throughout the South Funen Archipelago. Fines reach DKK 10,000. Eelgrass beds are shown on Danish charts and Navionics — anchor only on clearly sandy patches. Denmark has no free anchoring right (unlike Sweden) — anchoring is tolerated for one night in unoccupied natural anchorages.
