.....Fuglereservatet Felsted Kog
Felsted Kog er udlagt som fuglereservat, og er tilholdssted for
mange vade- og ynglefugle, der finder skjul i de udstrakte rørskove
i ynglesæsonen. Kogen ejes nu af Staten og fik i sin tid sit navn,
da man i sidste halvdel af 1800´tallet forsøgte at afvande Nissum
Fjord. Det lykkedes dog kun ved Felsted, der fik betegnelsen "kog",
som betyder indvundet landareal. Ved opførelsen af et 13 km langt
ringdige tørlagde man ca. 1400 ha. af Felsted kog, men det viste
sig hurtigt at jordbunden ikke var egnet til landbrugsjord, og der
opstod ofte digebrud under kraftige storme, hvorfor man opgav
projektet i 1885
. . . . The bird sanctuary Felsted Kog
Felsted Kog is designated as a bird sanctuary, and it is home to numerous
wading birds hiding in the vast forest of reed during the
breeding-season. Felsted Kog is now owned by the State. In the last
part of the 19th century, an attempt was made to drain the inlet
Nissum Fjord. The attempt was unsuccessful except at Felsted. After
this, Felsted was named Felsted Kog; ‘kog’ signifying ‘reclaimed
ground’. When a dike 13 km long was constructed, an area of about 1
400 ha was drained, but it soon turned out that the ground was not
suitable for growing crops. Furthermore, there were too many and
too frequent breaches of the dike caused by violent storms so the
project was abandoned in 1885.
