Billebjer

The reserve spans 23 hectares across steep terrain with pastures, woodlands, and a water-filled quarry between rocky outcrops rising 30 meters high.

The area functioned as a granite and red gneiss quarry until 1946, when mining operations ceased and the land transformed into deciduous forest.

The name Billebjer comes from Danish, meaning axe-mountain, as the mountain profile resembles the shape of an ancient axe in the landscape.

Three parking areas serve visitors accessing the circular paths that lead through forested sections, old pastures, and around the former quarry site.

Over 300 plant species grow in the reserve, including purple pasque flowers in spring, bloody geranium, and wild thyme across varied terrain types.
