During restoration, accessibility for nature enthusiasts wasn’t forgotten, and there are numerous car parks with info, and maps, from where paths for walkers, cyclists and horse riders can explore these extensive wetlands.

Several bird towers have been established, the large one on the Lønborg Skjern road has even access for wheelchair users. There are picnic areas with tables, benches and even some barbeque sites. Small “ferries” hand pulled by means of rope, let the visitor cross the river at several places.
