- Salt marshes and tidal flats — Wide, low-lying mudflats are a feeding ground for migrating waders and ducks; at low tide you can watch flocks sweep in and pick the area apart like nature’s lunch counter.
- Birdwatching hides and towers — Several simple hides and elevated viewpoints give great, quiet vantage points for spotting ducks, geese, raptors and reed-dwelling species without disturbing them.
- Open grasslands and heath — Sweeping, treeless plains feel almost Arctic in scale; they’re great for long, wind-sweet walks and for seeing skylarks, hares and the odd roe deer at dawn or dusk.
- Freshwater lakes and reed beds — A patchwork of shallow lakes and reed fringes supports amphibians, dragonflies and nesting warblers; perfect for close-but-hidden wildlife encounters in summer.

- Network of hiking and cycling trails — Flat, well-marked paths run for kilometres, so you can bike big loops or walk quiet stretches; surfaces are forgiving and easy on a budget bike or hiking shoes.
- Coastal views and sunsets over the Øresund — The western shoreline offers big sky views and dramatic sunsets; on clear days you can see activity on the strait and get a different perspective on Copenhagen’s skyline.
- Managed grazing and biodiversity meadows — You’ll notice sheep and cattle used to keep scrub down — it looks simple but that grazing maintains wildflower-rich meadows full of pollinators in spring and summer.
