Nødebo is surrounded by forest on three sides. Two gravel paths, one from the southern part of Nødebo and one from the Forest and Landscape College, leads up to Ottevejskrydset, the 8-way junction in the centre of Christian V's par force hunting road network in the forest. Søren Kierkegaard often visited the site and refers to it in Stages on Life's Way as the place with eight roads that no one travels by". A memorial stone was installed at the site in 1913 in connection with the 100 year anniversary of his birth.[5][6]
The small woodland which separates the southernmost part of Nødebo from Lake Esrum is called Nødeboholt (or Holtet). Møllekrogen, the marshy area at the south side of Lake Esrum, is a bird sanctuary with several watchtowers for bird watching.[7]
