    Vi har tit brugt hundeskoven men nu har de fældet næsten alle træer og bare ladet det ligge så hundene ikke kan løbe rundt, vi synes de har totalt ødelagt skoven, det er sidste gang vi er der

    Rigtig fin og varieret tur gennem by, skov og mark. Masser af brombær, mirabeller og et par æbletræer. Kunne godt være lidt flere bord/bænke.

    Ok sted. Lidt svært at finde ud fra Google. Måtte gå fra p-plads et godt stykke ind i skoven (og ingen skilte( før vi fandt det. Mødte desværre også en lettere aggressiv hund uden snor

    Fin hundeskov - ikke så stor arealmæssigt. 😀
