    About Vestereng fritløbsområde

    Vestereng Hundeskov is a very large and popular off-leash area (not fenced) in the scenic surroundings of Vestereng in northern Aarhus. It covers a huge 50 hectares (500,000 square metres). To put that in perspective, it is roughly 70 standard football pitches. This makes it one of the very largest dog parks in the city, with an enormous amount of space for daily exercise, running and play. It is important to note that this large natural area is not fenced. Although dogs are allowed to explore over long distances, socialise and investigate the terrain off-lead, this places extra demands on you as the owner. As the area belongs to Aarhus Municipality, a number of fixed rules apply to make sure everyone has a good experience. It is an absolute, non-negotiable requirement that your dog may only be off-lead if you have full control of it and can call it back to you at any time, so it stays within the boundaries of the off-leash area. You must also always be considerate of other users, and you must pick up after your dog everywhere, including when it fouls off the paths. The general Danish Dog Act of course applies everywhere. The area offers a varied mix of woodland and wide open spaces. There is good parking near the area, making it easy to arrive by car wherever in Aarhus you are coming from. When your visit is over and you move outside the permitted off-lead area onto the rest of Vestereng, your dog must always be on a lead, out of consideration for nature and other visitors.

    Virkelig ikke et besøg værd når der findes bedre indhegnet og mere tilgængelige hundeskoven tæt på...

    Skønt område med både skov, mark og vand. Gode parkeringsmuiigheder, og masser af sociale hunde og ditto tobenede.

    Dejligt område med masser af stier, grønne områder, søer og skov.. OBS - MEN værd dog opmærksom på øget mulighed for indbrud i bilen!! - Har i dag haft indbrud i vores bil ved højlys dag på det lille p-området ved denne hundeskov! Og da jeg talte med andre hundelufter fortalte flere af dem om indbrud i biler tidligere på samme sted! Parker evt. i stedet på den store p-plads på den anden side af vejen (tror p-pladsen hører til sportshallen)

    Perfekt sted med udsigt, skov, søer og søde mennesker. Hver mandag, onsdag og fredag kl. 10 er der desuden fælles gåtur med (generelt mindre) hunde med gode sociale færdigheder. Vi mødes på Volley-parkeringspladsen. Vel mødt!

    Dejligt rimeligt stort område tæt på Århus. Her er der åbne områder og lidt skov og krat. Man møder næsten altid en anden hund eller to.

    Okay område, noget mudderet når det har regnet. Nemt tilgængeligt og til at finde. Det kan være en voldsom oplevelse når mange hunde er uden snor, især når hovedparten ikke har

    Et dejligt område. Der er nogle dejlig brede stier hvor hundene (og menneskene) kan gå hvis man man da ikke begiver sig ind i det høje græs. Pænt og velholdt. IKKE indhegnet.
