Præsteskoven, natural area

Coastal forest that covered the Great Belt coast in the Middle Ages.

 

 

In the Middle Ages, a coherent forest covered the coast of the Great Belt. Many parts of the coastline have been preserved and there are parts with the original forest, which are of great botanical interest. 

You can find bigger animals such as roe deer, hare and pheasant. On the marked route starting from the parking lot, you pass the old beeches and oaks, situated near the coast of the Great Belt as defence against the eastern wind.
