    Fint sted at holde hvil, når du er i skoven. Der er borde og bænke, samt grill og området er overdækket.

    Et sted med visse udfordringer. Selvom det kaldes indhegnet er hegnet meget lavt, så det er let for en stor hund eller bare en lille hund med energi (som Jenny, der var med mig) at springe over. Hegnet var heller ikke særlig "tæt", så mindre hunde kunne måske også komme igennem åbningerne mellem metallet, hvis der var noget interessant på den anden side. Det er derfor ikke et sted, jeg vil anbefale at gå uden snor, medmindre man har en meget lydig hund, som man kan stole fuldstændigt på. Modsat hvad andre har beskrevet, fandt jeg et par skraldespande, men jeg kan sagtens forstå andre har overset dem, da der i hvert fald ved nogle indgange er langt til dem. Området var ikke så lille, som andre anmeldelser indikerede. Vi stødte ikke ind i en sø, der blev nævnt i andre anmeldelser. Måske var den gemt bag bevoksningen. Det er tydeligt, at stedet ikke benyttes af ret mange. Nogle steder skal planter/buske skubbes væk for at man kan komme frem. På plussiden er der masser at snuse til for en hund og stedet er ikke overrendt, men indhegnet hundeskov virker misvisende som beskrivelse. Værd at besøge, men ikke at vende tilbage til, medmindre man har en helt anden type hund end Jenny.
