Location: The Arresø is situated east of Frederiksværk in Northern Zealand, and is the largest fresh water lake in Denmark, with a surface area of 40 km2. The water level is 4 m above the sea level of Roskilde Fjord.
Protection/IBA Status: The whole of the lake is protected by the EU Birds Directive and the EU Habitats Directive, and is also an international IBA.
Important Birds:
Bittern, Mute Swan, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Smew, Goosander, Honey Buzzard, Red Kite, White-tailed Eagle, Marsh Harrier, Osprey, Water Rail, Black-headed Gull, Common Tern, Kingfisher, Bearded Tit, Red-backed Shrike, Raven.
Habitat:
Formed as a bay in the sea after the last ice age, the Arresø became a lake partly due to a land rise about 4000 years ago, and partly due to drifting sand cutting off the only opening to the sea in the 16th century. This caused the lake water to rise, flooding the surrounding areas, which was catastrophic for the farmers. It was therefore decided to dig an outlet canal for the lake, which was completed in 1719. A mill for polishing agate was also established on the canal. This was the beginning of Frederiksværk, which, in time, grew to become one of Denmark’s largest industrial towns.
The Arresø is now a large shallow lake, heavily polluted with nitrates and phosphorus. Several measures have been taken (such as a water treatment plant and 3 artificial lakes to filter out some of the nutrients to reduce contamination). This has helped to a certain degree. However, in stormy weather sludge is stirred up from the lake bed making visibility about 40 cm. This prevents light reaching the lake bottom, preventing growth of underwater vegetation.
The lake is almost 100% State Property. Today there is only one commercial fisherman left, who mainly fishes for Eel, Pike, and Perch. Some of the reedbeds are harvested for commercial use. Otherwise the lake is used mainly for recreation. During summer some pleasure boats sail from Ramløse Harbour, and one from Arresødal. During winter the ice-covered lake is popular for ice-boat sailing.
Birds and other Wildlife: Breeding birds: Bittern (4-5 pairs in 2007), Marsh Harrier (3-5 pairs), Kingfisher, Bearded Tit, Mute Swan, Water Rail and Raven. Penduline Tit has also bred here and is heard regularly.
Migrating birds: The lake gives shelter to sizeable flocks of Tufted Duck and Goldeneye. In winter, Goosander and Smew are seen here.
Moreover, the lake is regularly visited by raptors such as Osprey, White-tailed Eagle and Red Kite.
Visiting and Access: With a perimeter of 49 km it is obvious that the lake offers many sites worth visiting. Here is a short review of the most important ones, starting from Frederiksværk and going anti-clock wise round the lake:
1) Arresøkanalen (the Arresø canal) One of the few places on Sjælland where, for some years now, Kingfisher has been breeding, and is otherwise a regular winter visitor. The birds are best observed by walking along the canal path between Frederiksværk church and Arresødal.
2) Dronninglund is a castle ruin from around 1200 AD. In front of the ruin is a small jetty offering views over the western part of the Arresø. In the ponds behind the ruin, a glimpse may be caught of a Kingfisher foraging during the breeding season.
3) Auderød Skov
is the wood situated at the end of Arrenæs promontory. From the car park it is possible to walk through the wood to a small jetty on Arrenæs Næb. Ducks and possibly a White-tailed Eagle can be seen in winter. An Osprey, often perched on the fishing net stakes, can be seen here during summer.
4) Sonnerup Skov Following the path from the car park down towards the lake, grass snakes are often spotted in early summer. It is rather an exciting walk through the alder swamp and the reedbeds. Often a Water Rail can be glimpsed in the reeds, and the Osprey on the fishing net stakes at the jetty. Carrying on through the wood, most of the Arresø can be surveyed from two bronze age burial mounds.
5) Kregme Noerremose Park at Birkely farm (approx 100 m east of the roundabout). From here, walk northwards to Sonnerup Skov on the left, around the sewage plant, or to the right along the hedgerow to a well-hidden observation tower. Penduline Tit have been breeding here, and the Marsh Harrier is often seen. In the scrub behind the observation tower there may also be Marsh Warblers.
6) Hillerødvejen
Where the road runs close to the southernmost bank of the Arresø, it is possible to observe large flocks of ducks during winter, if the lake is not frozen.
7) Lille Lyngby and Lille Lyngby Mose
From the area at the church, most of the south part of the Arresø can be seen. This is probably the best place to see Goosander during winter. From here a small path leads to the bog of Lille Lyngby Mose. Along the lake bank, Penduline Tit are regularly heard. The bog itself, situated at the spit of Alten Odde, is renowned for its interesting plant life.
8) Lykkesholm
is a holiday bungalow area at the mouth of the stream of Æbelholt Å, and is one of the good spots for watching White-tailed Eagle in winter, and hearing Bittern booming in summer.
9) The mouth of the Pøleå
Kingfisher are seen every winter, as well as White-tailed Eagle, which often rest on the ice. In the area surrounding the stream, Great Grey Shrike and Rough-legged Buzzard are observed some winters. If the White-tailed Eagle fails to appear, it is alternatively often seen at the meadows of Alsønderup Enge, situated at nearby Nejede Vesterskov. During summer, with a little luck, the Bittern is also heard here.
10) Huseby Huseby offers an open view over the east part of the Arresø. Most birds are far out on the water, but occasionally there are some ducks inshore.
11) Vinderød Below Vinderød church is a small Cormorant colony, but it cannot be seen very well from land. The Corncrake has been found in the meadows south of Vinderød.

Vaserne
The Furesø
Location: Vaserne is a boggy woodland area at the north-east corner of the lake of Furesø, north of the Copenhagen suburb of Holte.
Protection/IBA Status: Vaserne is part of a much larger protected area comprising the two lakes of Furesø and Farum Sø. The whole area is an EU Bird Protection Area and an EU Habitat Area, and has also been appointed an international IBA. 14 ha of Vaserne's total area of 86 ha was acquired in 1999 by the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation, who entrusted it to the Danish Ornithological Society’s Bird Protection Fund.
Important Birds (for the whole IBA comprising Vaserne, Furesø and Farum Sø):
Scandinavian Grebe, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Goosander, Marsh Harrier, Osprey, Spotted Crake, Little Gull, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Common Tern, Black Tern, Kingfisher, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker.
Vaserne
Habitat:
The word "vase" means a causeway of branches and twigs, built across a bog. The area comprises alder swamp, willow scrub, water-logged peat holes, meadows and deciduous woodland. The area is a mosaic of biotopes offering optimum conditions for a varied flora and fauna.
Birds and other Wildlife:
No less than 150 bird species have been seen in this locality. It is renowned for its many Nightingales, that breed in the willow scrub. At the edge of the meadows the Marsh Warbler can be heard - its song imitating a number of other birds heard in its wintering grounds in Africa.
Vaserne offer good opportunities for spotting passerines and other birds all year round, but a morning or evening trip in May or June can be especially rewarding, when large numbers of different warblers, Wrens, Robins, Nightingales, Pied Flycatchers and tits welcome the visitor. In the reedbeds, the Water Rail can be heard, and out on the lake Great Crested Grebe and Cormorant are seen. With luck, one can spot an Opsrey fishing in the lake in late summer. In October, the berry bushes can be full of flocks of thrushes, for example Blackbird, Fieldfare and Redwing.
Visiting and Access: From Holte Station there is a 1 km walk to the entrance to Vaserne. Bus No 334 from Holte or Farum Stations runs to Fyrrebakken, where one alights at Vasevej. There is also a small car park here. Vaserne is criss-crossed by an extended system of paths, making it easy to get around. The Bird Protection Fund has, with support from the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation and the Danish Outdoor Council, established an Information and Exhibition Centre in the north-east corner of Vaserne.
There is an observation tower at the end of the Engsti path, and information posters about the Furesø lake and Vaserne at key points along the paths. From the tower there is a fine view over the lake where large flocks of duck and waders are often seen.

Location: Gilleleje is situated on the northernmost point of the coast of Zealand and is backed by hilly farmland south of the town. Every year, thousands of migrating birds - mainly raptors and passerines - pass over during spring.
Protection/IBA Status: Gilbjerg Hoved came under a preservation order in the mid-50s, and has since then been appointed an EU Habitat Area because of its Atlantic coastal vegetation. The area around Nakkehoved Lighthouse is a conservation area. The whole Gilleleje area has been appointed an international IBA.
Important Birds: Honey Buzzard, Red Kite, Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier, Goshawk, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Rough-legged Buzzard, Osprey, Kestrel, Merlin, Hobby, Peregrine, Crane.
Habitat: Gilbjerg Hoved, west of the town of Gilleleje, is a 33 m high moraine cliff surrounded by meadows and marl pits. The vegetation consists mainly of oak, blackthorn and broom, and there are many interesting plants and butterflies. To the east of Gilleleje is the Nakkehoved Lighthouse, surrounded by scrub and common, and to the south-east is the 50 m high hill of Hesbjerg with grass, scrub and small trees.
Birds and other Wildlife:
Kestrel, Tawny Owl, Red-backed Shrike, various tits and warblers all breed in the area. However, it is the migrating birds that form the great attraction at Gilleleje. The spring migration starts in late February and continues until early June. Each month has its characteristic bird species:
Late February - mid March: Skylark, Jackdaw and the first Buzzards
March: Skylark, Stock Dove, Jackdaw, Buzzard, Goshawk and the first finches and Cranes
April: the first two weeks are usually the time when enormous numbers of passerines migrate over Gilleleje, with Chaffinch and Brambling predominating, but numerous other birds appear such as Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier, Sparrowhawk, Falcon, Peregrine, Rough-legged Buzzard, Hobby, Crane, Grey Wagtail, Woodlark and thrushes
May: birds that winter in tropical Africa: mainly swallows and warblers, Swift and Yellow Wagtail, but also many raptors, including Red-footed Falcon.
June: there is still some migration, although numbers are not so great - Swifts and Pied Flycatcher are still arriving and there is a chance of seeing rarities.
Rarities that have been observed here include Great Shearwater, Cory’s Shearwater, Shag, Red-breasted Goose, Great Bustard, Dowitcher sp., White-winged Tern, Pygmy Owl, Middle Spotted Woodpecker, Red-rumped Swallow, Alpine Accentor, Collared Flycatcher, Yellow-browed Warbler, Pallas’s Leaf-Warbler, Dusky Warbler, Radde’s Warbler, Rose-coloured Starling, Willow Tit, Pine Crossbill and Rustic Bunting.
Visiting and Access:
Coming by car on the E47/E55, turn left at Junction 9 towards Hillerød. Approx 3 km past Hillerød turn right and follow the road to Gilleleje, carry on through the town, go left at the roundabout towards Rågeleje, and a car park comes up a few hundred meters outside the town limit. From here a path leads through the conservation area up to the Gilbjergstone.
If using public transport, take the S-train to Hillerød, and from there the Gribskovbane to Gilleleje Station. Walk (or cycle - cycles can be taken along in the S-train) through the town, and along the coast on the Gilbjerg path, or take the bus from Gilleleje Station to Gilleleje Feriecenter (Holiday center) from where there is a 10 minute walk to Gilbjerg Hoved.
The Gilleleje area can be divided into four sub-localities:
1) Gilbjerg Hoved
This is a cliff 2.5 km west of the town of Gilleleje, and one of the most well-known localities in Denmark for watching spring migration. Large numbers of raptors, and hundreds of thousands of passerines fly over this spot as they migrate north to their nesting sites in Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Weather conditions are the all-important factors determining when and how many birds will be passing over Gilbjerg Hoved and the surrounding area. However, there is always something to look out for. The best chance of experiencing flocks of passerines - primarily Chaffinches and Bramblings in their thousands - is in April when the weather is clear and there are warm winds coming from the south-east, south or south-west. The passerine migration generally stops early afternoon, but is succeeded by migrating raptors.
At Gilbjerg Hoved there is also a bird station run by the Danish Ornithological Society, where migrations are constantly being observed and monitored.

2) The beach east of Gilleleje: From the beach between Gilleleje and Nakkehoved there are good views towards Nakkehoved and Hornbæk, and west over Gilleleje harbour. Not many bird-watchers use this spot, but nevertheless it is a good position from which to watch migrating birds passing Nakkehoved and the many birds that follow the coast east from Gilbjerg Hoved. At the same time it is possible to see the birds out at sea. Often there are many gulls and other birds to observe in Gilleleje harbour.
3) Nakkehoved (2.5 km east of Gilleleje):
In the Nature Reserve around Nakkehoved Lighthouse, there are many passerines to seek out in the scrub: Warblers, thrushes, flycatchers, tits, etc. Numerous swallows and martins forage in this area. During spring migration around Hesbjerg, the grassy common between the coast road and the east part of Nakkehoved can be excellent.
There are car parks at Nakkehoved, accessible by turning off from the road to Hornbæk. There is a bus to and from Gilleleje Station that passes this site, and there is also a path from Gilleleje along the coast.
4) Hesbjerg is situated approx 1 km inland from Nakkehoved. At 50 m, it is the highest point in the Gilleleje area, with splendid views over to Sweden, Hornbæk, Gribskov and Hellebæk. At the summit is an ancient burial mound with some scrub. From here, with a gentle breeze blowing, it is possible to watch buzzards, kites and Cranes soaring. This site is often better than Gilbjerg Hoved for watching birds rising in the thermals. Hesbjerg is also a good place from which to spot harriers, as well as Meadow Pipit and Lapland Bunting, whereas Gilbjerg Hoved is the best place for watching other passerines.
Hesbjerg can be reached via a farm track, but please avoid trespassing on the adjacent fields. It is easy to get here by car. From Gillelejevej, turn down Bregnerødvej and then left along Hesbjergvej. Park at the end and walk the 100 m to Hesbjerg.

Hellebæk
Red Kite. Photo: Peter Nielsen
Location : Hellebæk - one of the well-known spots for bird-watching in the spring and autumn migration seasons - is situated on the north-east coast of Zealand, and is surrounded by the forests of Teglstrup Hegn and Hammermølleskov north-west of Helsingør.
Habitat : The coast at Hellebæk is characterised by a low cliff formed by a raised sea bed, in front of which is the beach with the coast road The countryside behind is hilly with mixed pine and deciduous wood (beech dominating), farmland and grassland, small lakes, ponds, streams, and birch and alder scrub.
Birds and other Wildlife: Breeding birds: Little Grebe, Red-necked Grebe, Greylag Goose, Nightingale, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Short-toed Treecreeper.
However, it is the migrating birds for which the area is famous, and especially the raptors, which pass over the area in their thousands. In autumn, there are even higher numbers than in spring. Buzzard, Rough-legged Buzzard, Honey Buzzard, Red Kite, Black Kite, Sparrowhawk, Goshawk, Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier, Pallid Harrier, White-tailed Eagle, Osprey, Golden Eagle, Lesser Spotted Eagle, Kestrel, Peregrine, Merlin and Hobby are all seen regularly. White Stork and Crane are regular, too. Passerines migrate in huge numbers.
Migration starts in March, with Buzzards arriving as some of the first raptors, followed by Goshawks and Red Kites.
In the first 2 weeks of April, preferably with easterly winds, the migration of Sparrowhawk, Marsh Harrier, Goshawk, Osprey and Rough-legged Buzzard culminates. With south-easterly winds passerines such as thrushes, Fieldfare and Meadow Pipit migrate in large flocks, whilst finches can number from 30,000 to 50,000. Grey Wagtail is commonly seen. Hundreds of Cranes pass by on spring afternoons with winds from the south-east and east, on their way from Rügen north of the coast of Germany to Hornborgasjön in Sweden. Up to 700 Cranes have been seen in a single day here. Barnacle Geese pass by mostly in April and Brent Geese towards the end of May.
If for some reason raptors are scarce, there is always a good chance of finding smaller birds in the scrub and bushes throughout the area.
There are quite a few places in the varied hilly landscape to watch from. One must be aware that there can be limited access to this area, as it is used at times for military exercises. However, in spring, military activity is generallly minimal.
The fields round the farm of Hellebæk Avlsgård with its open vistas is a superb place for bird-watching, especially the raised area of land behind the farm. Greylag Geese breed in Hellebæk Kohave, which has recently been laid out as a cattle-grazing area. The geese are easily seen at Pernillesø, where one also finds Little Grebe and Red-necked Grebe. In the alder scrub one may catch a glimpse of the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. The Nightingale is the bird one hears most in spring and summer, but the song of the Short-toed Treecreeper may be heard from the big old oak trees.
Other places for watching migration are:
a) the beach at Hellebæk harbour, although here one's view of the raptors flying seawards is blocked by woodland and built-up areas, preventing spotting until they are overhead
b) the jetties at Ålsgårde or Julebæk (depending upon the wind direction and time of the year)
Visiting and Access: By car, drive 27 km north from Copenhagen on motorway E47, exit at Junction 3 to Espergærde, follow Route 213 another 5 km, turn right along Route 237, and after another 2 km turn into Turbinevej. Parking is available at Hellebæk Avlsgård.

The Gribskov Area
Gribskov 18.05.07 Green Sandpiper. Photo: Per E. Pedersen
Location: The forest of Gribskov is situated north of Hillerød. It stretches 12 km northwards to Esbønderup and is 7 km across at its widest point between the lake of Esrum Sø in the east to the village of Bendstrup in the west. It is one of Denmark’s largest forests, and the last remnant of the vast wilderness which covered Zealand in ancient times.
Protection/IBA Status: Nearly the whole area is protected by the EU Birds Directive and the EU Habitats Directive. The IBA takes in a little more of the adjacent area in the south. There are several Nature Reserves in the area, including Strødam Reserve, Nørrevang at Gedevang, Bendstrup Common, Møllekrog and Stenholt Mølle.
Habitat:
Gribskov is situated on a post-glacial system of moraine ridges running north to south, thus creating the east-west watershed. Between the long stretches of ridges are deep cuts in the landscape filled with lakes (Gribsø, St. Fønstrup Dam), bogs (Toggerup mose, Maglemose), ponds left after old peat diggings, and springs (Hvide Kilde, Fruekilde).
During the middle ages, ownership of the forests was shared between the Crown and the Church. However, after the Reformation the Crown claimed this area, and established part of it as hunting grounds. This is still evident in the star-shaped path systems in the south-east corner of the forest, and the grassy common between Esbønderup and Nødebo, which still exist to this day. Forestry did not become the top priority until the end of the 18th century, when the forest boundaries were marked out and proper forestry management was introduced.
Lately, drainage has been discontinued in several parts of the forest, allowing the old wetlands to reestablish themselves (Sandskredsø).
In the sandy soil on top of the ridges, Common Spruce thrive. In the lower regions, where the soil is more nutritious, the forest is characterised by Beech and Oak. In other areas deciduous trees - mainly Oak - have been planted instead of the former pine. The same is the case for the areas which suffered gravely in the 1981 hurricane, when every 6th tree fell. In some low-lying patches, remnants of old forestry practices with alder, ash and grazing have survived. Some of these (Toggerup Enghave, Odderdamsenge) are today fenced-in grazing areas.
Gribskov is still widely used for commercial forestry, and the area is of great value for sport and recreation due to its proximity to Copenhagen and the northerly suburbs.
Birds and other Wildlife: In spite of considerable forestry and recreational activity in Gribskov, the sheer size of the location secures significant bird populations, such as raptors, Woodcock, Green Sandpiper, Stock Dove, Black Woodpecker, Red-backed Shrike and the Cormorant colony at Møllekrog. The impressive population of Goldeneye is due to a dedicated nesting box project. Other interesting breeding birds are Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Firecrest and Raven.

The whole forest is of interest for those in search of woodland birds. However, three sub-localities can be especially recommended for bird-watching:
1) The Strødam area:
comprises partly the lake of Strødam Engsø, partly the stream of Pøleå, bogs and meadows. Strødam Engsø and the north-west areas can be viewed from the path running along the Engsø stream, parallel with Pøleå. In Vester Strødam there are several paths.
There has been a clear decline in birdlife in this locality lately, particularly for breeding birds. Waders have gone, as mudbanks and islets have become overgrown. Grebes, ducks and Coots have been struggling with decreasing food supplies.
Tawny Owl. Slibestensbakker, Gribskov, 10.06.07
2) Møllekrog:
can be accessed from Stenholtvej in Nødebo. A path runs through the reserve offering fair views of the majority of the area. A viewing platform and an observation tower help enormously.
3) Solbjerg Engsø: is easy to reach, as the Pøleå path runs alongside the west side of the lake. There is a car park on the south side with access at Tipperuphus and on the north side at Solbjergvej. The Cormorant colony here is in dramatic decline as the trees are deteriorating, but there is still a sizeable population of Greylag Geese that forage on the meadows. In autumn, approx 1000 geese stage here next to Solbjerg Engsø.
DOF Northern Zealand
Rungstedlund
Location: Rungstedlund, situated on Rungsted Strandvej, opposite Rungsted Marina, is a green spot set in North Zealand, which narrowly escaped the same fate that befel most of the rural areas surrounding an expanding Copenhagen. In the 1950s it was proposed to develop 300 council houses here. However, Karen Blixen, the Danish author who lived here, appealed to listeners in a series of radio programmes to donate one krone each to a Rungstedlund Fund, with the aim of preserving her childhood home as a Bird Reserve and a breathing space for the nearby choking city. In this way, the Rungstedlund Fund was initiated, with an impressive 85,000 listener response. She also kept a promise she had made to her audience during these talks, namely that of planting a "Listener's Oak", which she did in 1958. Today this is a solitary proud tree, set in this beautiful historic site.
Protection/IBA Status: In 1973 Rungstedlund was appointed a Nature Reserve, and current management plans involve focussing on specific parts of the site in the period 2005-2010, extending further to the woodland from 2010 - 2100. These plans are being carried out to restore and maintain the area in Karen Blixen’s spirit, creating a unique environment for all birds and wildlife living here. Many experts have been involved and are contributing to the work.
The area is not an appointed IBA but groups of DOF volunteers have been involved in providing and setting up various nesting boxes and monitoring the birdlife here.
Important birds: Tawny Owl, Pied Flycatcher, Blue Tit, Great Tit.
Habitat: The parkland comprises hedgerows, wood, grassy areas and some bog patches. There are many biotopes: all kinds of deciduous trees of varying ages, uncleared undergrowth, dead trees, organic debris left uncleared, trees and bushes with berries. All offering splendid conditions for a rich flora and fauna - including an outstanding variety of passerines, owls, and many other birds.
Birds and other Wildlife: The park is a haven for tits, flycatchers, owls, Jackdaw, Stock Dove, woodpeckers, Goldfinch, Linnet, treecreepers and Wryneck, together with commoner birds such as Blackbird, Starling, Wren, Chaffinch and various thrushes.
Altogether 58 species of birds have been registered as nesting in Rungstedlund. But so far, the one bird which Karen Blixen so much hoped would return - the Nightingale - is sadly absent. Visiting and Access: There is public access to the park and the Bird Reserve at all times. Although there is no forestry or other commercial exploitation of the locality, the recreative usage is intensive, with approx 35,000 visitors visiting the Karen Blixen Museum each year.
THE KAREN BLIXEN MUSEUM, RUNGSTEDLUND
The Karen Blixen Museum opened in May 1991 occupies the house in which Karen Blixen was born, and to which she returned in 1931 following 17 years farming out in Africa. She lived here until her death in 1962, and it’s here that she wrote all her internationally renowned stories. Rungstedlund is situated in North Sealand, on the shores of the Øresund strait, and behind the house itself there are 40 acres of land - garden, meadow and grove. In accordance with Karen Blixen's wishes, the area is preserved as a bird sanctuary, but is open to visitors. Karen Blixen was buried in the grounds, at the foot of Ewald's Hill.
