Birch at Vanndamman

Leafing old birch at Vanndamman (the 'Water-Ponds').
In the 1800s the town needed more freshwater and in a long depression close to the town center these water reservoirs were constructed. In addition to the Swan Pond there are three longer ponds in a row. By 1908 they had got a sub sea water pipeline from the mainland and Vanndamman became a park and a recreation area.
