Listrup Lyng lies by the Tingsted Ă…, also known as Borremosen: a larger moorland area with several small lakes formed by peat extraction.
Moorland and wildlife watching
A marked hiking trail leads around Borremosen. White water lilies can be seen in the lakes during the summer months. Despite its small size, Listrup Lyng has a good and comparatively large population of the rare Large White-faced Darter. A large part of the area at Listrup Lyng consists of wooded peat bog and beech forest. Fallow deer can also be observed throughout the year in Hannenov and Ovstrupskovene, although they are very shy. The Falster Ă…s ridge system ends at Listrup, south of Hannenov Skov.
You may fish in the lake at Listrup Lyng with a valid fishing licence; there is also a picnic area there.
Trails and routes
A trail description from 2016 lists the red route of the Sporet Præsteskoven-Skjørringe-Virket Sø circular walk as 3.4 km and describes its course through Listrup Lyng. It also mentions a footbridge over which the route continues to Skjørringe Lyng at Skjørringe Gods. A short detour on the way south offers views over the meadows and peat workings of Borremosen from the Sparekasseeg oak. Check the route on site, as trail conditions can change seasonally.
The car park in northern Hannenov Skov is a good starting point for tours in the northern part of the forest, including Listrup Lyng. Check parking arrangements before your visit, as parking facilities may change. In terms of distance, the 4.5 km Hjertesti in Ovstrup Skov is the shorter route; the 42 km Motionsslangen runs through Hannenov and Ovstrup Skov. The Munkevejen cycling route runs through Hannenov Skov and tells the story of the introduction of Christianity in the countries around the Baltic Sea. Munkevejen tells the story of the introduction of Christianity around the Baltic Sea, while the 42 km Motionsslangen runs through both forests.
Historical traces on Falster
Falsters Virke is a 1.3 km-long system of ramparts that runs through Hannenov Skov. It served as a refuge where the local population could seek protection in dangerous times. The chamber of the Listrup Jættestue on Falster is up to about 15 m long. An urn burial ground from the Older Iron Age was excavated at the Jættestue, dating roughly from 500 BC to 375 AD.
Opposite Virkethus, at the north-eastern corner of Hannenov Skov, you can see the remains of Frederik Vilhelm Berregaard’s experimental tree nursery. Berregaard began his experimental work in 1871.
