Almindingen
Denmark's third-largest forest, with a European bison enclosure, a lookout tower and lakeside trails, a great spot for cycling and hiking.
Almindingen lies in the centre of the island. It covers about 24 square km and is Denmark's third-largest forest, with lakes, bogs, oaks and beeches, and a network of hiking and cycling trails. European bison, reintroduced in 2012, live in an enclosure of about 2 square km and can be spotted from observation trails and lookout points. Rytterknægten (“The Knight's Servant”), the island's highest point at about 162 m, sits in the forest, and its observation tower offers views over the whole island. Admission is free. Nearby are Echo Valley and the ruins of Lilleborg.
