 The Little Wild Bog
Lille Vildmose – the name means Little Wild Bog - area is just 10 minutes' drive from Aalborg. It is a beautiful natural area with a unique ecosystem and cultural relics from forgotten times. Combined, these make up a common historical identity that has left a deep imprint on the local area.
The limestone cliffs, such as Kjællingbjerg Cliff and the cliffs between Gudumlund and Storvorde show the extent of the Litorina Sea, and how far the landscape has risen since the sea receded.
Marks of culture
Several smaller manor houses each with their own historical background show the importance of agriculture over the centuries.
Small canal systems from Lille Vildmose connect the area with one of Danish history’s greatest industrial stories in the 1700s: the Gudumlund Factories started by the Danish industrialist von Buchwald.
 Scenic nature
The little angling site at Stejlgabet in Dokkedal is a reminder of herring fisheries of the Middle Ages. Today, it is a preserved and incredibly beautiful swimming spot at the foot of the Mulbjerg hills and has a small exhibition about fishing.
The extraction of peat and later sphagnum has marked the landscape as the roads to Kongerslev, Mou Bro and Gudumholm were build for the transportation of these products. Today, these glimpses of the past are being preserved.

Echoes of time
 When you visit the Tofte Tower just north of the small town of Øster Hurup on the southern outskirts of Lille Vildmose and hear the roar of the deer, it is like hearing an echo from the beginning of time...
