Pægas

Pægas is a small, uninhabited island located in the Danish archipelago. It lies in the Baltic Sea, to the east of the island of Møn. Administratively, Pægas is part of the Vordingborg Municipality in the Region Sjælland. The island is characterized by its low-lying topography and is largely covered by grassland and a few scattered shrubs.

Historically, Pægas has served various purposes, including grazing for livestock. Its isolation and natural environment have made it a haven for birdlife, attracting ornithologists and nature enthusiasts. The island's ecological significance is recognized, and efforts are made to preserve its natural state. Access to Pægas is typically limited, often requiring private boat arrangements, and visitors are encouraged to respect the fragile ecosystem. There are no permanent structures or facilities on the island, emphasizing its wild and undeveloped character. The name "Pægas" itself is of Old Norse origin, suggesting a long history associated with the region.
