Walking and cycling routes

At Troldhede Brunkulsleje, there are two marked walking trails measuring 2.47 km and 2.82 km. The 0.35 km difference makes it easy to compare them by distance. If you would like to plan a specific walk for your days there, you can choose between the slightly shorter and the slightly longer option. This turns the general question of whether to go for a walk into a choice between two clearly measured routes.

A short mountain bike trail is located just behind the car park at Troldhede Hall on Idrætsalle. Another route via Blichersgade and Borrisvej is about 6.5 km long. The details offer different points of reference: the location of the mountain bike trail is specified, while the roads and approximate length help you get a sense of the other route. If you plan to cycle, you can include these route details in your travel plans. A path in the area of the shelter and the mountain bike trail leads back to the car park at Troldhede Hall. The car park is therefore not only a reference point for the mountain bike trail, but also the destination of this path.

Fishing in Troldhede

The fishing route along the Vorgod Å is reserved for anglers. Fishing is also possible at Kulsøen near Troldhede. This gives you two distinct options for a stay focused on fishing: an anglers’ route along the Vorgod Å and fishing at Kulsøen. Check the applicable regulations and permits before fishing.

Troldhede Church: Architecture and history

Troldhede Church is a red-brick Neo-Gothic building designed by Vilhelm Ahlmann. The brick and the style describe different aspects of the architecture: one describes the building, while the other defines its architectural classification.

The history of the tower also adds to the picture of the church. In 1941, it was damaged when a German aircraft crashed; the spire was destroyed and later rebuilt. This brings together a clear architectural description and a specific story of damage and reconstruction.
