Description
Kongens Kær is a wetland in the river valley of Vejle Å, which in connection with the Knabberup Sø lake offers some nice birdwatching. The lake and marshland complex measures some 100 hectares. The area was previously used for grazing with water being removed with the help of drainage channels and pumps. Two major reclamation projects have transformed the area into mudflats, meadowland and lakes. More than 200 bird species have been recorded.
