You can drive straight ahead for miles along the dam and with a bit of luck you might even see deer.

In the middle of the Bøtøskoven nature reserve there is a lovely picnic area with a view of a small pond. If the wild horses or cattle are in the same place at the same time, it is a good idea to admire the animals from a distance.

We didn't find the toilet, but the picnic area is the wild horses' favorite place. We were there three times and saw the herd every time...

Fantastic nature reserve. Paths doable with gravel bikes, but sometimes very bumpy. With a bit of luck you will discover the herd of almost 20 wild horses along the way.

The forest paths are tw by bike. Difficult to navigate because of the sandy subsoil. Better to use the path on the dike.
