Shelter i Moesgård Skov

The shelter belongs to Aarhus Municipality and can be booked via [Book Naturen](https://booknaturen.aarhuskommune.dk/sted/shelter-i-moesgaard-skov/?s1=3012&s2=20/01/2026)

Moesgård Forest is an old deciduous forest with a rich bird and animal life, and it covers an area of 153 hectares. The forest has many good gravel paths, and is therefore well suited for jogging and hiking along the coast. The forest is also a popular excursion destination, and many dog owners take their dogs on a daily walk in the marked dog forest, where it is allowed to walk dogs without a leash. There are marked horse riding routes and mountain bike routes in the forest.

If you want to spend the night in Moesgård Forest, you can book the shelter, which is located on a hilltop by Skelbækken. The place is peaceful and well hidden in a small grove of deciduous trees.

The southern part of Moesgård Forest, as well as the forest area between Strandskovvej and the water, is a protected nature area in the EU, so please take care of plants and animals.

The forest area offers good opportunities for walks with a well-developed path system and the shelter is within walking distance of both the coast and Moesgård Museum.
