Description:
Forest creek in mature mixed forest.
INTERESTS:
Good place to look for dragonflies, especially: Beautiful Demoiselle [Blåbåndet Pragtvandnymfe], Common Goldenring [Kongeguldsmed], Keeled Skimmer [Lille Blåpil]. They can all be found along the overgrown creek just below the lake. In July 2025 younger trees adjacent to the creek had been cut down and left on the ground making access to the creek difficult.

ACCESS (free 24/7 daytime):
It's a private property why you are not allowed to enter during sundown and sunup. And the rest of the time you have to stay on the designated roads and paths. The parking space can hold 3 cars. At first you walk along a broad road and then you have to descend some 50 meters via an unmarked path to reach the lake and the creek.
