Bremsbøl Sæd stien EN - The Desperate Murders in Sethe
The medieval village of Sæd
Since the early middle ages Sæd has been the largest village in Ubjerg parish. The village is set on a slight hill in an otherwise flat and open marsh area. The hill is a natural sandbank deposited by the Vidå system. Untill the drainage in the 1920s Sæd was surrounded by water to the north, east and south from early autumn to late spring. The name Sæd originates from the old word ’Sethe’ which means sitting or settling.

Poor sparrow, come down
The sparrows stick to houses and farms. Did you know you can find both house sparrows and eurasian tree sparrows ? Often both species(knds/variants?) are in the same flock. Fortunately they are easy to tell apart. The house sparrow male is grey on top of its head while the eurasian tree sparrow has a brown calotte.
