About the dog park
The dog park in Kærskoven is easy to access. From Vejlevej (the main road between Horsens and Vejle), you can turn onto Kærsholmvej, which leads into the forest. Here, you'll find the forest's parking area, and the entrance to the dog park is close by.
The enclosed dog park covers 2 hectares and has two entrances. There are no facilities within the dog park, which is simply a fenced-off natural area without paved paths, benches, or similar amenities. An information board is located at the entrance. Please bring your own dog waste bags and take them with you when you leave the dog park, as there are no trash bins.
Be aware that it can become muddy during the winter months.
