Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

A mountain bike trail is being added in Danstrup Hegn. The options therefore range from a small beech forest to longer excursions. For planning your trip, the main considerations are location, time required and type of activity—not all destinations offer the same nature experience.

Munkegårds Hegn in the Surrounding Area

Munkegårds Hegn is a small beech forest surrounded by Kvistgård’s industrial areas, close to town. Its recreational value is relatively limited, and it is used primarily by local residents. It is designated as an off-leash dog forest. These features make it a small, local natural highlight and set it apart from the region’s longer trails. When choosing a place to stay in Kvistgård, this distinction is useful: the forest is part of the town’s industrial surroundings, while longer excursions are farther out in the region.

Kelleris Hegn Nearby

Kelleris Hegn, a small and varied deciduous forest, lies between Espergærde and Kvistgård. The Helsingør Motorway, including its access roads, and Hornbækvej (Route 235) cross the forest; Kongevejen (Route 229) borders it. The western part can be reached from Kvistgård via a footbridge and cycle bridge over Kongevejen. Kelleris Hegn is also designated as an off-leash dog forest and is often used by both locals and visitors from elsewhere. Both forests are designated as off-leash dog forests, but they are situated in different settings: Munkegårds Hegn in Kvistgård’s industrial surroundings, and Kelleris Hegn between Espergærde and Kvistgård.

Circular Trail and Mountain Bike Trail

Farther out in the region, a 10 km trail runs around Gurre Sø. Allow at least four hours for an extensive exploration; the trail can be wet in several places. It is not recommended for wheelchair users. Gurre Vang, Horserød Hegn and the whole of Gurre Sø are part of Natura 2000 site No. 131, “Gurre Sø,” an EU habitat area designated H115.

Nearby, Danstrup Hegn, between Fredensborg and Kvistgård, has an approximately 17 km mountain bike trail with 330 metres of elevation gain. The route can be adjusted to take the natural environment into account. The two destinations differ by the type of excursion they offer: Gurre Sø has a 10 km loop, for which you should allow at least four hours for an extensive exploration; Danstrup Hegn offers mountain biking over approximately 17 km and 330 metres of elevation gain. When planning your trip, you can weigh up the time required and the type of activity. The four hours should be understood as the minimum time to allow for an extensive exploration, not as a conversion of the 10 km into a fixed walking time. This keeps the time required and trail length as two separate reference points when planning your trip around Gurre Sø.
