Nørreskoven Forest on the north side of Vejle Bay is one of the most frequented forest in the area. The very versatile piece of nature offers grave mounds, dried out springs and monuments. Nørreskoven is particularly well-known for Dyrehaven, an area full of deer and the large beech trees from the early sixteenth century.
Nørreskoven comprises the areas known as Forkobbel, Bagkobbel and Polakkerskoven. The former ski jumping hill is one of the curiosities of the Bagkobbel area. It was built during WW2 in connection with the very cold winters. Polakkerskoven got its name from some Polish mercenaries, who roamed the forest during the Swedish War in the years 1658-60. The citizens of the city captured the Polaks and built their skulls into the north gable of Saint Nicolai’s Church, where they are still seen.
Far into the seventeenth century, the holy spring of Helligkilden was visited by sick people on May 1 and on Midsummer Day. In 1905, the spring was restored, but has since dried out.
Foxes, badgers and deer live quite a trouble free life here, as they have taken over the steep, forest´-clad hills and during the night, they also visit the gardens on the outskirts of the forest.
Bonfire area is available.
The Dyrehaven area
The 57.5 acre large deer area was founded in 1948. The motor way cuts right through the area, but there is a passage from one side of the forest to the other through the bridge arches of the Vejle Bay Bridge. It is possible to get very close to the 2 deer species fallow deer and bead. Only feed the deer with fruit and vegetables, however, not during their mating season in October and November.
In the area, the beech is the most common type of tree, but there are also other deciduous as well as coniferous trees. |
