Kollund Skov itself boasts a rich history. Once threatened by deforestation the forest was saved. In 1883 the city of Flensburg purchased Kollund Skov. This was thanks to Dr. Großheim’s initiative. After World War II the city maintained ownership of 75 hectares. The rest was owned by the Danish state and private individuals. However due to financial difficulties Flensburg sold its portion in 2006. The Danish Nature Foundation eventually acquired the entire 130-hectare forest in 2017. They paid 16.75 million Danish kroner.
Kollund Skov is now a protected natural paradise. The Danish Nature Foundation ensures that the forest flourishes. It’s home to rare species like the fire salamander. You might even spot the rare black woodpecker. These magnificent birds make their homes in the ancient beech trees. The forest flourishes with biodiversity. It’s a testament to the power of conservation.
