Beautiful nature trail of 2,5 km along wet meadows, reedbeds and wetland on the dam along Skals Å near Hjarbæk Fjord. The lower part of Skals Å stream is part of an international nature conservation area under the Natura 2000 project and is both a bird protection area and an EU habitat area. A good area to see meadow birds, ducks, geese, waders and other waterbirds. Among the birds you can see are Болотный лунь, Скопа, Варакушка, Усатая синица, Шилоклювка, Кулик-сорока and Тростниковая овсянка.
