Staunings Ø Traditional Geocache

English
Staunings Ø (Staunings Island) arose from the sea about a hundred years ago. It consists of decomposed material that the sea has deposited on the calm, inner part of Køge bugt (Køge Bay). Because of currents and wind the material has been deposited some way out in the bay, first as a reef and later as sandbars.

Today Staunings Ø is a landscape of mostly sand dunes with mar ram. Behind it are lagoons with reeds and a rich bird life year round especially swans, geese and ducks.
Staunings Ø is part of a wild life reserve and dogs are therefore not allowed in the bird breeding season, and in the rest of the year only on a leash. The very ends of the island are also closed in periods to the public. In the summer period a bathing bridge is set up. There's also a bird watching tower.

You can only walk by foot in the area, no driving allowed. There are perfect bathing conditions and fine chances to experience migratory birds and the change of the seasons.

To get to Staunings Ø you have to go through Jersie Strandpark, which is a pine tree plantation with scattered leave bearing trees and clearings with grass perfect for picnics, games and recreation.
Jersie Strandpark is also where you find a parking lot, and in the summer a kiosk. The public toilets are opne between 10 am and 8 pm from 15. april to 15. october.
