Mollerup Skov

The forest consists predominantly of beech, oak, ash and cherry trees, interrupted by open fields and meadows presenting a view across the valley of Egådalen and the lake of Egå Engsø.

The woods are dotted with a number of small ponds, providing a good environment for a rich variety of wildlife.

This includes larger mammals such as roe deer, foxes and hares and birds like pheasant, blackbird and siskin, with a few predators like sparrow hawk and buzzard often spotted in between.

Motor vehicles are not allowed, but the pathways are used for activities like strolling, horseback trotting and jogging.

The plan was begun by the city council in 1988, with the aim of doubling the municipality's forested area by the year 2000 (i.e. 1300 ha).
