The Viby Track is an exercise track that runs through a forest just north of Viby itself. It is a nice loop on woodland trails that is great for anyone who wants an easy hike, walk, or jog. It is also family-orientated with an outdoor gym and playground along the route.

Very nice wind-shelter that can be used for sleeping. Fireplace just in front. The area is large, I could pitch my tent easily. It's possible to take a small path going down, to get out of the trees and see the sunset on the lake.
