About Åbo Skov (hundeskov)

The dog park in Åbo Skov near Harlev is a fenced area of approximately 5.5 hectares, mostly dense forest. Inside the fence, there are about 900 metres of paths and four gates. Aarhus Municipality is responsible, and access is free around the clock.

The free parking area is located at Harlevholmvej 36, where you will find a toilet, bin, and a map of the area. Inside the dog park, there are tables and benches, and motorway exit 49 Aarhus S is just over 1 km away.
