Humlebæk: Trails, Beach and Culture

Humlebæk offers several points of interest to consider when planning a stay: the Krogerup estate landscape, marked trails in the Krogerupskovene, Humlebæk Havn with Babylone Strand, and the KulturStationen cultural centre.

Krogerup and Gl. Humlebæk

Krogerup is a well-preserved estate landscape with fields, small woods and open areas. A main avenue leads to the fishing village of Gl. Humlebæk on the Øresund, where well-preserved small fishing cottages stand. The avenue thus connects the estate with a specific destination by the water. Alongside the forest trails, the open areas and fishing cottages also shape the landscape. Those interested in the area will find both features of the estate landscape and a named place on the Øresund here.

Hiking trails in the Krogerupskovene

There are two marked hiking trails of different lengths in the Krogerupskovene. Hjertestien runs through the woods and is 2.1 km long; another trail is 6 km long and marked yellow and red. Hjertestien is therefore the shorter of the two options mentioned. The yellow-and-red markings belong to the 6 km trail and provide an additional point of reference alongside its length. The distances make it easy to compare the two trails directly.

Visitors can also cycle on trails in the Krogerupskovene. This makes the wooded area an interesting option for planning a cycling trip; the distances given refer to the hiking trails.

Humlebæk Havn and Babylone Strand

Babylone Strand is a child-friendly beach, located 300 metres north of Humlebæk Havn. Local conditions may vary. At the harbour, children can borrow crabbing equipment and life jackets. For travellers with children, these are two useful details: the beach is described as child-friendly, and equipment is available to borrow at the harbour. The direction and distance help you locate the beach in relation to the harbour; the stated rental options are available at the harbour. It is advisable to check local conditions before visiting the beach.

KulturStationen by the station

KulturStationen is a user-run cultural centre in Humlebæk. It offers a varied programme of events throughout the year; individual events change. The cultural centre is located in the former post office at Humlebæk station. The venue includes a performance space, a lounge area and a basement gallery. If you have a particular event in mind for your stay, check the current calendar for your travel dates.

The topics also differ in what you can compare in advance when planning: trail distances are provided, while the specific event dates at KulturStationen change. You can therefore choose a trail length or include a suitable event date in your travel plans.
