Travel
1. How do I get to Sejs? What are all the different travel options available and that you’d recommend?
You have quite a few options:
Train: You can come by train from Copenhagen over Skanderborg - take the Herning train and get off at Svejbæk - station just before Silkeborg. We can pick you up there if you let us know when you arrive. Directions from Svejbæk Station to Sindbjerg Mosevej 16, 8600 Silkeborg. It is 2 kms from the cottage.
Flight: You can fly into...
- Billund ( international airport - 1 hour from Sejs, you need to be picked up and returned there unless you rent a car); or
- Karup ( domestic - 45 Minutes from Sejs) We can pick you up there if you let us know when you arrive; or
- Copenhagen (approximately 4 hours by train to Svejbæk station, 2 km from the SindStou cottage).
Bus: This could be a much cheaper option. You'll find details here and also here.
Car: You can drive from anywhere directly to the Sindstou cottage: https://goo.gl/maps/QXpvorpUxCP2

Fees
13. I am very keen to attend but I can’t afford the full fee. Are the sponsorship options available to me?
Can I be a volunteer/ offer work exchange in return for a lower/ no fee?
If we can afford it within the overall economy, we are all responsible to make the economy harmonize. Please contact [email protected] for more information and with any questions.
14. Are there any ways to bring down the overall fee (bring my own tent, my own food…)?
Not really as we have tried to make this as affordable as possible already, and mentioned the total lowest price as fees so as to cover costs.
15. I can afford to pay a higher fee. How would that work?
Fantastic. We've planned the fee to cover basic costs. If you can afford to pay a higher amount (what you feel is fair), it would help subsidize the fees for those who might not be able to afford it. Thank you for your generosity.
