A very beautiful area, definitely worth a visit, but the hike described here isn't suitable for this time of year. The detour from the main trail via a footpath to the north is just about manageable in normal hiking boots, but it's covered in mud - a swamp-like condition. However, we had to abandon the actual southern main section of the hike through the nature reserve. Fishing trousers or similar would have been necessary for that. After about 300 meters, the path was blocked by knee-deep, unavoidable floodwaters. Probably a very nice route in summer!

In picturesque surroundings at Skjern Enge you will find Denmark's longest wooden suspension bridge, Kong Hans Bro. The bridge was built in 2003 in connection with the restoration of the river Skjern Å.

The mighty pylons are made of "naval oak", which was planted in 1807 after the loss of the Danish navy to the English. The bridge is named after King Hans, who tragically died of pneumonia at this spot after falling into the water. His memorial stone stands next to the bridge.

Impressive structure where you can feel the vibrations as you walk over it.
