Description:
A newly restored raised bog with adjacent ponds in agricultural surroundings.
INTERESTS:
Dragonflies In 2023 Yellow-spotted Whiteface, caudalis, was reported from here for the first time, as the only second locality in present time where to find this species in Denmark. In general the pond is excellent for a variety of species in favor of standing and nutrition-poor water. The best place is along the southern edge, as most animals tend to stay in the sourthern end of the pond, but you can walk to where the purple dotted line on the map ends to get an overview of the northern end as well. List coming...
ACCESS (free 24/7):
On foot. I haven't visited the northern and eastern part of the area, but to reach the pond with caudalis, and most dragonflies, you follow the yellow dotted line:
When you reach the pavillon, you continue past it and enters a boardwalk, where you soon find a step down on the left side and a trail that leads into the thickets. Follow this till you reach the end at a larger crossing trail and continue to the right until you reach what looks like the end. It's not that obvious where this end is, but continue to the right through the open area and eventually you should be able to find your lead toward the trail leading to the southern edge of the pond.
There is only access to the southern edge and along the purple dotted line. The latter is completely overgrown, but permanently dry and safe to walk along, although a partial boardwalk has seen better days, and you might better look out where you put your feet.
