Tips

Ida Bogø
You drive along the coastal channel and to the side suddenly opens the country and you can look into the depth of the Esterweger can. The colors of the lions, the brown of the peat, the vastness of the landscape above, the blue of the sky - a rather unique experience.

It's an oppressive sight. On the one hand, peat mining is overexploitation of nature, and on the other hand, it is a nature reserve here

The Esterweger Dose is a nature reserve. Peat can still be extracted in the raised bog until 2036.
