Activities at Comwell Kongebrogaarden

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 smartphones and Apple Watch.

Bike Rental
Head outdoors and experience the beautiful landscape in and around Middelfart, or cycle into Middelfart for a stroll on its 3 km-long pedestrian street. You can also enjoy an ice cream at the harbour.

Board Games
Board games are more popular than ever nowadays and everyone can take part. We have a varied selection of board games that you are more than welcome to borrow. Just ask at reception.

H. C. Andersen's House
H. C. Andersen’s House in Odense is the primary museum about the fairy tale poet and author Hans Christian Andersen and is located only 100 metres from our hotel. Odense’s biggest new attraction in years is set to open in summer 2021 – the Hans Christian Andersen Museum. The museum was designed by the famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and consists of both indoor and outdoor spaces that together extend across 12,600 m2 (2/3 of the museum is underground).

Odense Zoo

Egeskov Castle
Egeskov Castle is one of Northern Europe's best-preserved Renaissance castles, built as two longhouses rising directly from the lake. Feel the sweep of history as you visit the beautiful 466-year-old castle. You can come inside and see the castle, have a walk in the beautiful gardens, or visit the Classics Museum and the Falck Museum.

CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark
CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark in Middelfart is Scandinavia’s largest special museum of ceramic art. The museum presents an exciting encounter with ceramic arts and crafts through the ages. CLAY is home to a permanent exhibition and also hosts special exhibitions.

Bridge Walking
Bridge walking 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. 

Whale Watching and Other Boat Trips on the Little Belt
The Little Belt is one of the most whale-rich waters in the world. This is the place to go if you want to see one of the world’s smallest whales, the Harbour Porpoise, up close. We’ll set sail for as many experiences and stories as possible. We occasionally see seals, birdlife and even white-tailed eagles.

Psychiatric Museum
The Psychiatric Museum is located in one of the former patient buildings at Middelfart Mental Hospital, which was in operation from 1888 to 1999. The exhibition tells of the everyday life and conditions for both patients and employees and provides an insight into the treatment of mental illness in Denmark in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Nearest Beach
Hop into your swimwear and take a dip in the Little Belt just outside the hotel. The currents can be a bit tricky here, however, so we recommend that you follow the water for approx. 1.5 km and go swimming at Galsklint Camping instead.

Nearest Ice Cream Bar
Luckily we have plenty of ice cream bars! In fact, we’re an ice cream lover’s paradise. The classic and the most famous is Skovgrillen, which has existed since 1935 and was previously called Karolines Ishus. Skovgrillen is a short walk of about 1 km from the hotel. They now have competition from:

Kitzchen, which in addition to ice cream also offers a food court and street food. In the ice cream bar, they sell Danish-produced, Italian-inspired ice cream and milkshakes. Kitzchen is located on Brovejen approx. 1 km from the hotel. Then there’s the latest competitor, Den Italienske Isbutik in Algade in Middelfart, with its tempting homemade waffle cones and Italian ice cream. It is approx. 1 km from the hotel.

Nearest Forest
The hotel is located right next to the most beautiful forest, Hindsgavl Deer Park. Our beautiful Hindsgavl peninsula has it all! Open plains, old beech trees, wetlands and steep slopes. You can go deer watching and see the large local deer population.

Nearest High Street
Middelfart’s seafaring past is evident everywhere you look. For instance, De Hængende Haver (The Hanging Gardens), is an idyllic rolling terrace complex with many small pavilions that once housed fishermen and craftsmen. You’ll find the small houses facing the waterfront on the slope towards the old harbour and the Little Belt.

The pedestrian street and Middelfart’s old town are not to be missed. A very charming and authentic experience with cobbled streets, alleys and colourful hollyhocks. All just a beautiful walk of approx. 1 km from the hotel.

Nearest Sights
Ahoy, Skipper! Spot a harbour porpoise on a whale safari. It may be the world's smallest whale, but it’s still a sight to see! Departure from Middelfart Old Harbour, approx. 1 km from the hotel. If you love animals, you can continue on to Madsby Activity Park in Fredericia, a trip of approx. 8-10 km. There is free admission to the mini-zoo with llamas, goats, rabbits and donkeys, as well as a sand playground, moon car track and Tarzan trail with swing rope. Some of the activities cost from DKK 15-50 per person, such as mini golf, the Madsby train and rowboat rental.

Feel the butterflies in your stomach and marvel at the incomparable view 60 metres up while Bridge walking over the old Little Belt Bridge. You’ll also get plenty of fresh air on the links at Golfklubben Lillebælt. Max. handicap 54, green fee costs DKK 300. The Golf Club is approx. 4 km from the hotel.

If you’re among the many who appreciate design and perhaps ceramics in particular, we encourage you to stop by CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art approx. 1 km from the hotel. You will be taken through 235 years of the history of ceramic design, in a collection featuring groundbreaking works from Royal Copenhagen, Bing & Grøndahl and Aluminia.

Nearest Picnic Spot
You couldn’t ask for a better spot than our magnificent location at the forest edge on the waterfront. Relax and lay down your blanket right outside the door, along the water or in the woods. A genuine insider tip for an excursion is Strib. A stunningly beautiful walk along the coast and beach road on a partially protected path to Strib Lighthouse, marina and Sophiæodde. It’s simply delightful!

Nearest Golf Course
A few minutes’ drive from the hotel you will find Golfklubben Lillebælt. They have without a doubt Denmark’s best located golf course, with a beautiful view over the Little Belt, and a course that offers challenges for both seasoned and new golfers.
