Description of the walk

Start : Car park on Sondre Ringvej (52) road. Coord. 56.1553, 9.5394

(S/E) From the car park, take the single path bringing you down to Almind lake. You will see a wooden structure and maybe some boats on your right. Take the path which runs along the riverside. Keep walking straight with the water on your right-hand side.

(1) As you walk through the woodland, you will soon spot a wooden ring structure in the water. Walk towards it. You can stop here to take a dip otherwise, walk up to the wooden building which is a changing area. When you are in front of its entrance, turn right and carry on walking on the footpath along the lakeside. (West). Keep walking on the path with the water on your right-hand side ignoring any footpath going left until you reach the road. (Horsensvej 52).

(2) Walk on the path along the roadside with care to reach a car park. Walk straight across the car park to find a footpath on your right. This path brings you to a second swimming spot where you find picnic tables, a sauna, a wooden swimming ring that goes on the water. When you finished enjoying this spot, take the same way back as you came.

Cross the car park alongside the road. Find the footpath left down to reach the lakeside. (2) Keep walking on the footpath next to the water ignoring the other ones going right. Pass the second swimming spot (1) on your left-hand side and carry straight on back to the car. (S/E)
