Skov Olesens Plantage

Highlight • Forest

Today, Skov Olesens Plantage covers around 55 hectares, of which around 33 hectares are wooded. Most of the forest was planted in the 1950s on former heathland, with the first plantings dating back to the 1930s. Today, the forest is gradually being transformed into a more species-rich mixed forest with trees of varying ages in order to improve stability, soil quality and habitats for animals, insects and fungi.

Picnic area

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice picnic place by the lake. The lake was excavated in the 1940s and 1950s by hand. Normally, the workflow was that two men filled a wheelbarrow while one man drove the excavated material away in another wheelbarrow while the first was being filled.
