Årslev Engsø, Artificial lake and conservation area in Aarhus Municipality, Denmark.

The Årslev Engsø spans 100 hectares of water surface, providing essential habitats for numerous species of birds and aquatic plants along its perimeter.

The establishment of Årslev Engsø in 2003 marked a substantial transformation of agricultural land into an engineered wetland system within the Aarhus region.

Regular scientific monitoring by Aarhus University researchers contributes to understanding environmental dynamics and ecosystem development at the conservation site.

Visitors access observation towers and walking paths around the lake perimeter, offering opportunities for bird watching and nature photography throughout the year.

The lake receives water from Lyngbygård Å, creating specific conditions that support specialized wetland flora and various bird populations in eastern Jutland.
