Vestereng

After the liberation in 1945, the Danish military forces took over and Vestereng was used as a shooting range and training ground for several decades.

[1] Up until 2013, Vestereng was used as a venue for large outdoor concerts, but this activity has been discontinued due to the newly expanded Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby close by and inaccessibility to emergency and firefighting units.

Over the years, Vestereng has hosted big outdoor concerts with many popular Danish and several internationally acclaimed bands such as Medina, Kashmir, Nephew, Magtens Korridorer and Simple Minds, The Police, D-A-D, Metallica, etc.

[citation needed] The nature of Vestereng comprise meadows, scattered vegetation and a woodland area.

There are a number of smaller ponds here and a stream is running through the area to join the larger Egå, a few kilometres north of here.
