Tim: Moorland, river and history

Tim Mose, the Tim Å and historical sites offer different highlights for a stay in Tim. North of Tim School lies Tim Mose, a nature area with pools and meandering river bends. Other options include canoe trips on the Tim Å, a paved cycle path between Tim and Vester Tim, and historic buildings and memorial sites. When planning your trip, you can focus on nature, outdoor activities or history; each option has its own conditions.

Moorland and trails

Pools and meandering river bends define the landscape of Tim Mose: the nature area features both pools and winding stretches of river. A network of trails to Tim Mose starts at Tim School, providing easy access to the moorland. Starting at the school gives you a clear landmark for finding your way in. If you are planning a visit, check local conditions before your trip.

Canoeing and cycling

The Tim Å is the river used for canoe trips run by the canoe project. During the canoeing season, canoes can be hired from mid-June to November after contacting the project. For a specific date, get in touch in advance and check that the season and hire period match your travel dates. The project has six canoes and the equipment required for a trip on the Tim Å. Two canoe bridges have been built along the river, including one in Tim Mose. Before setting off, check local conditions and ask when you get in touch which equipment is currently available.

If you are deciding between cycling and canoeing, different factors affect your plans: the cycle path between Tim and Vester Tim is paved, while canoeing depends on the season and contacting the project. There is a GoCollective ticket machine at Tim station. If you plan to use it, check its operating status in advance.

Building history and remembrance

The history of Timgård’s buildings reflects a change: at the end of the 16th century, the medieval buildings were demolished and replaced by a Renaissance complex. The Renaissance complex thus belongs to a later building phase than the demolished medieval buildings.

Tim Church has a Romanesque nave. The church also contains an elaborately carved work dating from around 1590. These details relate to different aspects: the Romanesque nave describes part of the church’s architecture, while the carved work is another feature of its interior.

The 5 May stone at Tim School was erected on 5 May 1946 and commemorates the liberation of Denmark in 1945. The dates refer to different events: 1945 marks the liberation being commemorated, while 5 May 1946 is the date the stone was erected.
