In the north of Sealand, between Frederiksværk and Hundested you find one of the oldest eco-villages in Denmark. Since the early nineties, when the place was just a potato field, a vibrant community is build, where people live and work, focusing on social interaction, tolerance, respect, sustainability, and ecology. The original idea behind Økosamfundet Dyssekilde was to create a vegetarian, spiritual and humane village. After having taken various different directions during the start-up phase, the focus is now more on a shared foundation of believes and values, than on a concrete idea. In Økosamfundet Dyssekilde ecology and sustainability is a major focus in practically everything; it shows itself in many different ways and on many different levels depending on who is involved, and what is done. There are no direct rules and no sanctions, but it is expected that everybody do their best in whatever way possible.
