Shelter på Vestereng

The shelter belongs to Aarhus Municipality and can be booked via [Book Naturen](https://booknaturen.aarhuskommune.dk/sted/shelter-paa-vestereng/)

The shelter site is located on an open grassy area at the edge of the forest on Vestereng. There are good opportunities for various activities on the large grassy area. A campfire site has been set up in front of the shelter.

Vestereng is an exciting and diverse nature area of almost 60 hectares, surrounded by industrial and residential areas. It is an old military training ground, as evidenced by the many bunkers and ramparts. Vestereng consists of both open grassy areas and old deciduous forest. There is also a disc golf course in the forest. The Magrethe dike from the time of Magrethe I also runs through Vestereng.

Along the new supercycle path there are plantings with various edible berries and fruits.
