Wetland in the easternmost part of Almindingen
In the High Heather period, Hagemyr was part of a larger marsh area and already had its name at the end of the 16th century. Later, the area became the easternmost corner of Almindingen forest.
A drainage ditch was made right through the area, which ensured that Hagemyr could be cultivated for a good 100 years and most recently a grazing area for a herd of beef cattle.
In 2016, the State Forest took the initiative to make the area wet again.
This has happened by blocking some open ditches through the area at the drain, so that today there is water in the middle of the area most of the year.
This has provided good breeding conditions for both amphibians and birds. For example, the tree frog has migrated in, and it is possible to hear its song at night for most of the month of May.
Bird enthusiasts flock to the site and there are many sightings of, for example, cranes, greylag geese and herons.
