The hilly landscape 

During the last ice age, a unique natural phenomenon was created on Langeland. The landscape is hilly all around the island and you can find approximately 1000 small and big hills. Some are up to 20 m high, while others are only a few meters. The unique thing is that many of the hills lie parallel to each other.

If you want to find the best places to experience the hilly landscape, try going to the coastal area near Spodsbjerg. Hear you will find a line of hills, which stand out from the rest of the landscape. You can also see some great examples of the hilly landscape near Nordenbro og Næbbeskov.
