Heatherhill, Protected heath in Gribskov Municipality, Denmark

The 35-hectare area features moraine hills rising 20 meters high, with two valleys leading towards the Kattegat Sea along the North Zealand coastline.

The Danish military conducted artillery exercises in the eastern plateau of Heatherhill from World War II until the mid-1950s, utilizing barracks where the current camping ground stands.

The site received its name from English businessman Joseph Vincent, who built a yellow plastered villa as a summer residence in 1910 with his Danish wife.

Visitors can access designated parking areas near Vejby-Rågeleje road, with trails connecting to both sides of the protected area and leading to the beach.

The area maintains one of Denmark's most diverse butterfly populations due to its varied vegetation, supporting numerous species through specific plant dependencies for their larvae.
