Lille Vildmose
One of the largest raised lowland bogs in Northwest Europe, where you can ride a peat railway into the wetlands and watch eagles, cranes, and wild moose and boar.
Lille Vildmose is one of the best-preserved high raised peat bogs in Northwest Europe. Covering about 76 square kilometers, it features rare bog, lake and ancient forest ecosystems. Golden eagles, white-tailed eagles and common cranes live here, and moose and wild boar have been reintroduced within the protected area. The visitor center (Lille Vildmose Centret) has exhibits. In summer, you can ride a small peat railway deep into the bog, or explore on your own along the birdwatching tower trails. It is about 30 kilometers southeast of Aalborg and requires a car.
