Dejbjerg Hede – Heath

Lovely routes in Dejbjerg Plantation and Dejbjerg Heath

South of the road between Lem and Hanning is the protected 118 hectares Dejbjerg Heath. Between Lem and Hanning opposite The Holy Cross Monastery you find a public car park. The heath is maintained to avoid reproduction of self-sown trees. South of the fire lane the heath is own by the Danish Company “ HedeDanmark”, who is specialised in providing services for forests, fields, parks and much more.


In the western part of the heath - west from Ringkøbing Skjern Mainroad - is a group of 25 ancient mounds. From the heath is access to the mounds on the hill top from where you have an impressive view of the landscape. At bright days you can see Ringkøbing Fjord and the North Sea about 20 km away. Dejbjerg Heath and Hills cannot be mentioned without giving thoughts to the gipsies. It was an interesting and strange people, who were social outcasts because of their “impure” work and their vagrant life. Comprehensive literature describes these peoples life on the heath.
