Tystrup Sø

Tystrup Sø is a large freshwater lake on Zealand featuring varied depths and shoreline zones that support diverse aquatic life. The water body has both open banks and wooded edges that create different landscapes around its perimeter.

The lake was formed through natural processes during the ice age and has shaped the Zealand landscape for millennia. Over time it became central to local fishing practices and later became a focus of environmental research.

Local fishing traditions at Tystrup Sø maintain connections between residents and the water, supporting recreational activities across generations.

Visitors can use parking areas at several waterfront points and follow marked paths to observation spots and fishing locations. The lake is best accessed on foot or by bike, with year-round access available from multiple entry points.

Water in the lake cycles through for about 180 days before moving into the regional water system, making it an important part of the local hydrological cycle. This natural rhythm gives it a dynamic role in the broader water flow of the region.
