Brabrand Lake ((デンマーク語:Brabrand-søen or Brabrand Sø)) is a lake in the district of Brabrand (Gellerup), west of Aarhus city, Denmark. The Aarhus River passes through Brabrand Lake and it is possible to canoe all the way to the inner city from here. The lake is oblong-shaped. Within the last decade, Brabrand Lake has steadily been extended 3–4 km further west, with the new lake of Årslev Engsø (lit.: ''meadow lake of Årslev''). It was politically decided, to abandon the artificial draining of the meadows and as of 2013, Årslev meadow lake has a surface area of around . The total area including the adjoining meadows and reed beds sums up to . It is expected that Eurasian bittern and otter, will find themselves a new home here with time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Årslev Engsø project )〕 In everyday parlance, "Brabrand Lake" is a general term including the surroundings as well, indicating a total area of around with for the lake alone. A special Natura2000 protected area under the European Union,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Natura2000 Plan 233 )〕 Brabrand Lake is home to a large variety of birds and an important resting-place for migrating birds,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=List of Species )〕 with several towers built to facilitate bird-watching. A public hiking trail surrounds the lake, whose landscape varies from wide meadows and reed beds to dense woods. The lake brinks is occupied by privately owned pastures, almost all the way around the lake and is not publicly accessible. There are public paths leading to the lake itself scattered in between, though. There are several alottments nearby. It is a popular recreational area and it is a statutory goal of the Aarhus municipality to make it publicly accessible and attractive for the citizens.〔(Accessibility to urban-close nature ) Aarhus municipality〕 ==Activities and sports== The pathway of ''Brabandstien'' (lit.: the Brabrand pathway) running along the Aarhus river from the inner city and around the lakes, was established by the City Council in 1956, to give the citizens better access to the green areas here. The pathway is 19 km long, with 10 km for the Brabrand Lake alone. With the addition of Årslev Engsø, the pathway grew with another 10 km. A large part of Brabrandstien is asphalted and is popular with cycling, rollerskating and jogging and some of the gravelled western parts are used for horse trotting. Cars are not allowed and motor vehicles are restricted. Brabrandstien is part of the Aarhus-Silkeborg hiking trail. On the northern banks of Brabrand Lake, lies the facilities of ''Brabrand Rostadion'' (Brabrand Rowing Stadium). The stadium was established in 1952 and has recently been heavily renovated and rebuild in the year 2010. C. F. Møller Architects was the architectural firm behind the new buildings.〔(Brabrand Rostadion ) C. F. Møller〕 Local rowing and kayaking clubs have used the lake for practicing and larger regattas for many years and now ''Rocenter Aarhus RCA'' (Rowingcentre Aarhus) are here, offering qualified training for rowers and clubs in East and South Jutland on all levels (including elite) and for all ages. There is a 2.000 m racing track on Brabrand Lake and it is generally perceived as very good for outrigger racing, but other boat-types are being rowed here as well, including kayaks.〔(The new 'Brabrand Rostadion' is inaugurated Thursday ) Aarhus Municipality (22.09.2010)〕〔(Aarhus Rostadion, Brabrand ) A meta-site on the rowing activities associated with Brabrand Rostadion.〕〔(Brabrand Rostadion ) Homepage under the Aarhus Studentclub〕 ''Aarhus Roklub'' (Aarhus Rowing Club) have scored several prestigious medals. In 2005 Maria Pertl won silver in the World Rowing Championships in collaboration with Juliane Elander Rasmussen.
