This is a short, scenic run in Østerådalen, a wetlands park in the southern part of Aalborg. A series of trails and some boardwalks wind around several bodies of water, with nice views of the wetlands and grasses. Overall, one can do a 5-6 km route on the paths. Some of the trails are a bit narrower, but the footing is generally good.
