Bespoke
walking and running routes
Is
the freedom to incorporate nature into your daily exercise high on your list of
priorities? Then join us on a walking/running route and explore the hotel’s
nature surroundings. We’ve created three different digital running routes and added
them to the RunGo app, which uses turn-by-turn navigation to show you which
route to run, the remaining distance and which roads or paths you should take.
Just like a car’s GPS system.
The shorter three-kilometre route is also recommended as a walk-and-talk route for a healthy break during a meeting or seminar. RunGo is free and available for iOS and Android – for both smartphone and Apple Watch.

Fredensborg Castle
Fredensborg Castle Gardens are
among Denmark's largest historic gardens. The garden's original French Baroque
style features long, straight avenues that extend from the castle in a
star-shaped pattern. Certain avenues were recreated in the 1970s to 1990s as a
Danish example of the sumptuous style familiar from Versailles. A stroll
through the beautiful gardens will take you past countless fascinating statues
and sculptures.
Open-Air Museum
The Open-Air Museum is one of the world's largest and
oldest open-air museums with more than 100 buildings from all over the country.
Enter a fairy tale world with farms and houses from all over the country,
beautiful historic gardens, cute farm animals, as well as activities and
theatre for the whole family.
Old Holtegaard
Old Holtegaard is an art gallery housed in a complex
designed in 1756 by one of Denmark's most eminent baroque architects, Lauritz
de Thurah. At Gammel Holtegaard, the unique historic character of the house and
garden is inseparable from the exhibition profile, which is primarily used to
show contemporary art.
Frederiksborg Castle
Frederiksborg Castle is
beautifully situated on three small islets in the Castle Lake in Hillerød.
Magnificent cultural experiences await the whole family within the castle
walls, while the picturesque surroundings are ideal for peaceful garden walks
and boat trips.
Louisiana
If you are interested in
modern art, a visit to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a must. The
world-famous Louisiana is among the most visited museums in Denmark and offers
a programme of special exhibitions all year round.
Bakken
The world's oldest amusement
park, Bakken, is located in the middle of Dyrehaven. It offers a wealth of
rides and restaurants for all ages.
Tivoli
Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park located in the centre of
Copenhagen close to Central Station and Strøget. The park is the world's second
oldest of its kind, surpassed only by Bakken. Walt Disney drew a great deal of
inspiration from Tivoli, which is almost magical when in full bloom with some
of Denmark’s most beautiful perennials, flowers and shrubs. Enjoy a walk in the
beautiful garden with historic buildings, cosy nooks and fun-filled squeals.
Karen Blixen Museum
Rungstedlund is the birthplace
of author Karen Blixen. She lived here throughout her childhood and youth, and
it became her home once again when she returned to Denmark after spending 17
years in Africa. She lived at Rungstedlund until her death in 1962, and it was
here that she wrote her world-famous tales.

NEAREST BEACH
Dive into the blue waves or enjoy the view of the Sound at Vedbæk beach and
marina. It’s a lovely place with a child-friendly sandy beach with a jetty, and
facilities include public toilets, restaurants and, most importantly, an ice
cream kiosk.
It is also possible to swim in Furesøen. There are several bathing jetties along the shore and Frederiksdal Fribad is located approx. 7 km from the hotel. There is a large lawn that slopes down to the lake with a small sandy beach, jetty, toilet facilities, ice cream kiosk and restaurant.
NEAREST ICE CREAM BAR
Summer and ice cream go hand-in-hand and one of the area’s most charming
ice cream bars is the one in Holte Harbour at Vejlesø. The harbour features a
lovely new playground with lots of child-friendly activities, and there are
plenty of tables and benches where you can enjoy an ice cream, as well as a
small restaurant.
NEAREST HIGH STREET
Holte is not a large town, but in the centre you’ll find Holte
Midtpunkt, home to a wide range of grocery stores, a café and a few
restaurants. A flea market is held in the large carpark near the forest on
Sundays from 08:00-14:00, and you can often find great bargains on children's
clothing and household items.
The nearby towns of Lyngby and Hillerød offer a larger selection of shops, cafés and restaurants, but you can also easily reach Copenhagen from Holte. It only takes 20 min. by S-train from Holte station.
NEAREST FOREST
Comwell Holte is situated right in the middle of the woods. On one side
of Kongevejen is Rude Skov, with countless walks and mountain bike trails.
On the other side of the hotel down towards Furesøen is Vaserne – a large, green nature area. It is Northern Europe's largest alder swamp, and offers excellent opportunities for birdwatching from the two bird towers and the newly built footbridge along Furesøen.
We wholeheartedly recommend a trip along the Mølleåen river, which meanders beautifully from Buresø west of Farum all the way to the Sound.
NEAREST SIGHTS
Holte and the surrounding area offer a wide range of cultural
attractions. Not far from here you will find Gammel Holtegaard, which is an art
gallery housing both national and international art. Day trip opportunities
include a walk to Rungstedgaard and the Karen Blixen Museum, which is also
surrounded by a lovely park. On the other side of the road is Rungsted Harbour,
where the marina is always buzzing with life and there are plenty of lovely
restaurants and bars. Enjoy a glass of chilled wine with a view of the harbour.
NEAREST PICNIC SPOT
The hotel’s beautiful large garden and green surroundings are ideal for
a picnic. Borrow a blanket and lie down on the grass, relax and enjoy the
sounds and smells of summer. There are also tables and benches located in
several places around the hotel.
NEAREST GOLF COURSE
Søllerød Golf Club is a few minutes’ drive away, situated in the middle
of the beautiful hilly Søllerød Nature Reserve. In addition to an 18-hole golf
course, there is a clubhouse with a charming restaurant, a pro shop, changing
rooms and staff on hand to answer questions.
