More of a stream than a river, the Giber Å remains unstraightened. Its wooded surroundings therefore serve as a sanctuary for rare bird species and constitute a protected Natura 2000 site. Within the grounds of Vilhelmsborg, several paths run along the banks.

Unfortunately, the grates on the steps are not suitable for dogs, as claws can get stuck.
