There is a large wooden pavilion with seating nearby the lake. It is mostly used by school groups, but private individuals can also hire the venue at weekends and on public holidays. More information: https://udinaturen.dk/facilitet/?id=8fb2e81f-b98d-425f-aa4d-e3664a5bc00e

Fantastic wooden bridge to ride (cautiously and considerately) around the lake. Enjoy the view rather than the speed!

Beautiful wooden walkway that you can use to walk around the lake. A real eye-catcher!
