Mørk Woods

The Mørk Woods (Norweigan: Mørk Skogen) are part of the larger forest that surrounds the Kølger mountains. They skirt the lower slopes on to the north side, starting at Dræbyen to the west and finishing near to Syn point on the edge of the island. It is just over 15 miles long and covers an area of around 4480 acres. It is designated a SSSI due to its breeding grounds for the island specific red deer sub species, the knapp tailed deer.
