Activities at the Hotel
Customized walking and running routes
Do you prioritize the freedom to use nature for daily exercise? Then join us for a tour of the surrounding nature of the hotel. We have tailored three different digital running routes and added them to the app RunGo, which tells and shows you which route to take, how far you have left, and which roads or paths to use - just like a GPS in a car.
The short 3 km distance is also recommended for "walk and talk", which is a healthy break during a meeting or seminar. RunGo is free and can be used on iOS and Android - both on mobile and on Apple Watch.
Pool and sauna
After a long day, there is nothing as refreshing as a dip in our pool followed by a stay in our sauna. The facilities are free to use for our guests.
Various board games
Board games are more popular than ever, and everyone can participate. We have a selection of different board games that you are welcome to borrow. Just ask at the reception.
Various games
Do you feel like challenging your family, colleagues, or friends in fun games? Then just ask at the reception. We have, among other things, lawn games, darts, and billiards.
Sights and Attractions Near the Hotel
Koldinghus Castle
Koldinghus – Jutland's last royal castle – is much more than a museum. See the remains of the ruin that tells of the catastrophic fire in 1808, experience the story up close through vivid tales in the castle’s large halls and see the treasures of the Danish kings and queens in special exhibitions. Koldinghus offers a series of special exhibitions, family activities during all school holidays, concerts, lectures, a Christmas market and a royal costume workshop. This year, Koldinghus will display H. M.
Trapholt
Trapholt is a museum of modern art and design, located in Kolding and opened in 1988. The museum is also known as “Jutland Louisiana”, which may be due to its location at Kolding Fjord with a combination of old and new architecture – or because it also focuses on modern art. The museum also includes a furniture museum with contemporary Danish furniture design and collections of handicrafts, primarily ceramics and textiles. There is also a collection of more than 500 chairs from the 20th century, making up Denmark's largest collection.
Geographical Garden
Geographical Garden is a 14-hectare botanical garden with rare plants organised by their geographical origin. You can visit South America and see the Brazilian giant rhubarb or the almost 100-year-old trees in North America. There are many different rhododendrons and more than 7,000 roses.
Danish Museum of Nursing History
The Danish Museum of Nursing History is beautifully situated by Kolding Fjord in the old tuberculosis sanatorium and is Denmark's only specialist museum on nursing. The exhibitions show the history of nursing, the patient and the healthcare system in Denmark from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The adventure park where having fun is a science. At Universe, children of all ages can experience science, technology and innovation first-hand. The park is filled with a wealth of amazing experiences and attractions. During your visit you can try lifting a car, building your own water rocket or roaming around a virtual world.

Legoland is one of Denmark's most famous amusement parks, beloved by families with children and children of all ages. There’s plenty of action, speed and fun here for the whole family to enjoy.
Givskud Zoo
Have a wild day to remember at Givskud Zoo – Zootopia. Walk around and visit the animals in the zoo. You can even walk inside the enclosures of the lemurs, Barbary macaques and goats. Go on safari in your own car or on a safari bus and get close to the animals on the savannahs. In the dinosaur park, the giants of the past are shown through life-size models and in four exhibitions featuring totally up-to-date knowledge. There is plenty of space for everyone here and lots of beautiful nature. The kids will surely enjoy themselves on the fun playgrounds and in the activity camps. In June 2021, Denmark's largest penguin enclosure will open here. So there will be even more penguins frolicking on land and in water. Food and drink are available for purchase but you are also welcome to bring a packed lunch.
Bridge walking
Bridgewalking takes place at an altitude of 60 metres and offers a view of the Little Belt. You can travel to Sydney or to the Little Belt. In both places, you have the chance to walk on top of a bridge. Experience the height. The butterflies in your stomach. The spectacular and unobstructed views. Enjoy the water, the ships, the view of land, the wind and the weather. The faint shaking of the bridge as a train crosses it.

Louise at reception wants you to know that they don’t hold back on toppings at Slotsisen! Enjoy!
