Experience rich birdlife at Grynderup Lake.
The original Grynderup Lake was drained in the mid-1800s, and the reclaimed land was subsequently used for agriculture.
Today the lake has been restored and covers about 140 hectares, while the surrounding meadows and natural areas cover a total of 423 hectares. Grynderup Lake attracts many birds, including numerous ducks, geese and swans.
Visitors can access the nature area via a trail that runs all the way around the lake.
At the southern end there is a double birdwatching tower offering fantastic views over the shallow areas of the southern part of the lake. The tower is accessed from the nature trail that follows the former railway line between Durup and Glyngøre.
At the northern end, near Grynderupvej, a low bird hide has been built with views over the northernmost part of the lake.
From the nearby parking area, an accessible path leads east to the narrowest part of the lake. Here you can take a pull ferry across to the opposite shore, where the trail continues.
This makes it possible to shorten the trail and only walk the northern loop, which can be completed in about one hour.
Near the accessible path there are picnic tables and benches as well as a simple overnight shelter area.
Note: Parts of this route may be very wet during periods of rainy weather. Waterproof footwear is recommended.
This route crosses fields with grazing animals. Please show consideration and keep a safe distance from the animals.
