Nature, trails and landscape

There are also paths and trails connected to Hønning Plantation and Lindet Forest, suitable for hiking, cycling and horse riding. The nature trails in Arrild Plantation are ideal for a peaceful woodland walk, while the connected paths and trails offer three different activities.

Hønning Plantation is characterised by oak scrub, juniper heath and vegetated dunes. These landscape features give the area a different character from the woodland paths near Arrild Ferieby. If you are interested in nature in and around Arrild, you will find a variety of options, although no single path necessarily connects all the landscapes mentioned.

Arrild Plantation is part of Natura 2000 site 93, “Lindet Forest, Hønning Marsh, Hønning Plantation and Lovrup Forest”. Helm Polde adds another landscape feature: this heath-covered area is near Arrild. Together with the features of Hønning Plantation, it creates a picture encompassing forest, heath and vegetated dunes.

Water and leisure activities

There is a paved multisport court on the playground in Arrild Ferieby, near Feriecentrets Restaurant. A pétanque court is situated in a green area between Feriecentrets Restaurant and Arrild Swimming Pool. The two courts therefore differ both in their activities and in their described locations. Arrild Swimming Pool has three pools and a 107-metre-long waterslide with a sound and light show.

Arrild Water Park in Arrild Ferieby is near Toftlund, Rømø, Tønder and Ribe. For a visit to Arrild Swimming Pool, the number of pools and the long slide are two specific features; the places mentioned help put Arrild Water Park in geographical context.

Arrild Fishing Lake consists of two lakes connected by a fly-fishing stream. Arrild Put & Take also has two lakes, each covering 17,000 square metres. It also includes a 560-metre-long stream used exclusively for fly fishing. This is particularly important when comparing fishing opportunities: the stream is not intended for other types of fishing. Arrild Put & Take also has a barbecue pavilion overlooking the lake. As operating details may change, check them before your visit.

Arrild has the Arrild Golf course, which is set in gently rolling terrain surrounded by large forests. There is also a disc golf course in Arrild. The mini-golf course in Arrild Ferieby meets international standards. If you plan to play mini golf, check the current operating details before your visit.

History at Arrild Church

Arrild Church was first mentioned in 1282 as property and a source of income for the priests in Ribe. In Præsteskoven, near Arrild Church, there is a system of paths from which part of a First World War fortification can be visited. A visit to this area therefore brings both the church’s long history and a much more recent military structure into focus.
