Tips from the Community
A bit difficult from the paths.

The paths here are very narrow and sometimes difficult to see. A pre-planned tour with Komoot helps a lot with orientation. If there is a lot of water, you may have to do something a little different. There are many paths. In fog etc. orientation could be a little difficult.

Nice view from the forest. With picnic area. Nice place for a rest.

The climb is via wooden ladders with rungs. You should be very sure-footed and not afraid of heights. Unfortunately, the right handrail of the ladder to the second platform is no longer secure (March 2024). There are picnic tables below the tower. And the hill, which H. C. Andersen also visited, also offers all non-climbers a beautiful view of the landscape.

There are some parking spaces and a covered picnic area here. The nicer picnic area, although without a roof, is on Fuglsangvej directly on the Lilleå, over the bridge and then to the right.

Here you can easily park your car and start a beautiful tour through the Feijsø plantation and extensive heath areas. There is also a small picnic area on a hill here.
