Hammer Bakker
Hammer Bakker is a beautiful hilly hiking route, which goes through coniferous and deciduous forest, Pebermosen and up on Tvillingehøje, where a beautiful view of the heath awaits. Bakkeøen rises 60 meters above the surrounding land in southern Vendsyssel. Red deer, foxes, badgers and squirrels are permanent residents of Hammer Bakker. It is a good idea to bring binoculars on this route, as the area is also home to rare bird species such as the dove hawk, wasp warbler and night owl.
The hiking route is 5 kilometers, and is therefore a half-day trip. The route is marked in red on black poles, which follow the entire route, and begin in the parking lot at Brødland. On the route at Brødlands Høj there is a primitive campsite with parking, toilet, shelter and a campfire hut.
