context_page_description: Mollerup Skov is a 97 hectare relatively new forest situated in the northern outskirts of the city of Aarhus, Denmark. In the neighbourhood of Vejlby and Skejby between Skejbyvej, Langengevej and Skejby Nordlandsvej to be precise.
  Mollerup Skov is part of the New Forests of Aarhus.
context_section_description: The forest consists predominantly of beech, oak, ash and cherry trees, interrupted by open fields and meadows presenting a view across the valley of Egådalen and the lake of Egå Engsø. The woods are dotted with a number of small ponds, providing a good environment for a rich variety of wildlife. This includes larger mammals such as roe deer, foxes and hares and birds like pheasant, blackbird and siskin, with a few predators like sparrow hawk and buzzard often spotted in between. The animals are not to be fed.
  A network of pathways cuts through the plantations of Mollerup Skov. Motor vehicles are not allowed, but the pathways are used for activities like strolling, horseback trotting and jogging. There are two marked routes (red and yellow), approximately 2 km and 3 km respectively. In the south-eastern part there is a fenced dog park, dedicated to exercising dogs. Such areas are known as hundeskove (lit.: dog-forests) in Denmark and they can be found across the country, often situated close to towns and villages.
