Discover Guderup

Guderup offers several specific points of interest to help you plan your trip: historic church stables, a sculpture in the village square, a cycling route through woodland and coastal scenery, and football golf. This gives you a choice ranging from cultural attractions in the village to a longer outdoor activity.

Church stables and sculpture in Guderup

The Egen Kirkestalde are located near Guderup, right beside main road 405. They are the last surviving church stables on the island of Als and were built between 1793 and 1894. The complex comprises 34 stalls with a manger that could accommodate two horses while their owners attended church. This use gives the historic building a specific connection to daily life at the time: the horses could stand at the manger during the service. At the Egen Kirkestalde, both the long period of construction and the stables’ former function are central.

The Guderup-stenene sculpture stands in Guderup’s village square. It symbolises the past and the future. The sculpture was split into two parts, and signs and symbols were carved into the resulting fracture surfaces. The granite used was quarried south of Odense. In contrast to the Kirkestalde, whose description includes a specific former use, the design and symbolism of the Guderup-stenene take centre stage. These two attractions therefore offer different cultural points of interest during a stay in Guderup.

A cycling tour or an activity in the village

The Nørreskoven cycling route starts in Guderup’s village square and is about 17 kilometres long. It runs through the forest and along the coast, through natural areas accessible only by bicycle or on foot. The starting point and approximate length give you practical information for planning the tour, while the forest and coast shape the route described. When planning your trip, you can decide whether this cycling route should be the main focus or whether you are mainly interested in the village’s cultural attractions.

You can play football golf at Aktivitetspark Guderup. This adds another type of leisure activity to the cultural attractions and cycling route. You can make football golf a reason for your trip in its own right or fit it in alongside the other interests you would like to pursue during your stay.

Guderup Ringridning as a possible travel date

For Guderup Ringridning, a parade through the village to the festival grounds is scheduled for Sunday. The event is also scheduled to take place over three days on the last weekend in July. If you would like to plan your trip around the event, check the dates in advance to make sure your visit fits your plans.

Plan your overnight stay in the area

When looking for a hotel in Guderup, the attractions described can help with your trip planning: the church stables and the sculpture represent different cultural themes, while Nørreskoven offers a cycling route of about 17 kilometres. Football golf or Guderup Ringridning may also help determine the purpose of your stay.
