Protected area: Grevsmosen, Slettingen, Fejborg Bakke and Bollebakken

The areas around Slettingen, Fejborg Bakke, Grevsmosen and Bollebakken are all parts of Jyske Ås and were protected in 1970. The nature area comprises approx. 70 ha, and here is public access on foot along the marked paths.

There is broad agreement that the landscape around Slettingen, Fejborg Bakke, Grevsmosen and Bollebakken is some of the most beautiful you can find in North Jutland.

The landscape is very hilly and varied. It is described as a mosaic of forest, fields, bogs, small lakes, pastures and heather-clad hills. The mosaic arose from an interplay between the natural conditions, which were created way back in the ice age. Between Grevsmosen and Slettingen there are heath hills, which in the past robbers and herdsmen used as a place to live, and many of the old highways are still well preserved. In the area you can even still find remnants of the earth caves where the robbers lived. The area hides many cultural-historical traces and hidden treasures. Explore, for example, the long dolmen at Fejborg Bakke, which dates back to the Stone Age. From here and several other places in the area there are beautiful views of Jyske Ås and large parts of Vendsyssel.
