Fuglsang Lake
Fuglsang Sø is 800 m long, 450m broad and 6m at the deepest point. The area is an idyllic place for long strolls, swimming, fishing and watersports as for example rowing and windsurfing.
TEMPORARY FISHING BAN AT FUGLSANG LAKE
At certain times of the year, Fuglsang Lake is not very suitable for swimming. Especially when the water is warm, there is a risk of blue-green algae and parasites that can cause swimmer's itch.
Predatory fish such as perch and pike contribute to maintaining a natural balance in a lake by feeding on fish such as roaches, which have an adverse impact on the lake's condition.
In other words, predatory fish are beneficial for both the lake and bathing quality.
And therefore, Herning municipality are now implementing a temporary fishing ban at Fuglsang Lake.
