Explore Hedensted through several specific interests: the medieval Hedensted Church with its large relief, trails around seven lakes, a disc golf course and pay-and-play golf. Sebberup Forest also offers a signposted hiking route, a forest fitness area and a shelter where you can stay overnight for free. The activities offer different experiences; access conditions and route lengths can help you plan a stay that suits you.
Medieval architecture and artwork
The medieval Hedensted Church consists of a nave, chancel and apse built from granite blocks, with individual travertine blocks. A small Romanesque window has been preserved in the apse. On the south side is a very large stone relief. It depicts an angel, the Archangel Michael and a devil fighting over the souls of humanity; at the same time, good and evil are weighed against each other in the soul. The subject gives the relief a narrative meaning that differs from the architectural forms.
The church is open to visitors on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; at weekends, it is accessible during services and church ceremonies. If you plan to visit at the weekend, it is therefore worth checking the times of services or church ceremonies in advance.
Pay-and-play golf
Hedensted Golf Club offers a 9-hole course on a pay-and-play basis. Everyone is welcome to play, including non-members and people with no previous golfing experience. The course is 1,800 metres long and has five par-4 holes and four par-3 holes. Golf is therefore an alternative to the walking options: instead of covering a route on foot, you can play a round on a course with a specified number of holes and length.
Seven lakes and two ways to enjoy the outdoors
Hedensted Søerne, a recreational area with seven large lakes, lies on the western edge of Hedensted. The lakes are surrounded by forest, woodland and meadows, and trails run through the area. A hiking trail of about 4 kilometres goes around the seven lakes. Its approximate length gives you a practical point of reference when planning walks during your stay. Hedensted Søerne also has a 9-hole disc golf course that is open to everyone and free to use. The lake circuit and disc golf offer different ways to spend your time: a walking route or a free activity.
Hiking and overnight stays in Sebberup Forest
In the southern part of Sebberup Forest, there is a signposted hiking route that is 3.5 kilometres long. It passes a forest fitness area with 12 activities that visitors can use free of charge. The two routes differ both in their course and length: a trail of about 4 kilometres goes around Hedensted Søerne, while the route in Sebberup Forest is 3.5 kilometres long and passes the free fitness area.
Sebberup Forest also has a shelter with a fire pit and toilet. Free overnight stays are available there on a first-come, first-served basis. Bear this rule in mind if you include the overnight option in your plans.
