Plejerup: Discover Malergården, its garden and the landscape

When looking for hotels in Plejerup, specific travel interests can help you decide: Malergården, a family home of artists with a garden; a 19-kilometre circular walk; suggestions for walks and bike rides in the part of Lammefjord that still holds water; or independent excursions with rented watersports equipment. These options differ in theme and mode of transport. Consider whether you mainly want to visit the rooms and garden at Malergården, experience the dead-ice landscape on foot, or head out independently by kayak, canoe or SUP board.

Malergården: artists’ home and garden

Malergården in Plejerup is the well-preserved artists’ home of the Swane family. Plejerup is the access road to Malergården. Visitors can see the studio, living rooms, rooms on the first floor and the Billedskolen. The studio and Billedskolen complement the living rooms and upstairs rooms, so a visit covers different aspects of the artists’ home. The grounds add a garden with dahlia beds, box hedges, apple orchards and a viewpoint. This combination makes the garden a sightseeing attraction in its own right alongside the interior rooms. Malergården lies between two reclaimed fjords in a landscape that inspired the Swane family of painters. The house and its surroundings give the visit a cultural and landscape setting.

Walking and cycling

The Grevinge–Plejerup–Prejlerup circular walk is 19 km long and is not signposted. Its length helps you gauge the scope of the route; as it is not signposted, you should also plan how to navigate before setting out. The route passes through a dead-ice landscape with many small hills and waterholes. The small hills and waterholes shape the impression of the landscape along the route.

Suggestions for walks and bike rides are available for the part of Lammefjord that still holds water. Here, you can choose between two modes of transport for a particular stretch of the fjord; by contrast, the 19 km route is a specific walk. Details of the Lammefjord routes may change, so check them before setting off.

Independent excursions with KajakOasen

If you are planning an independent trip on the water, KajakOasen rents out kayaks, canoes and SUP boards. At KajakOasen, the focus is on choosing equipment for an independent excursion; the route options, by contrast, are for walking, strolling or cycling. KajakOasen is located at Strandly 21 in Plejerup, 4571 Grevinge. Check the address before travelling; booking conditions may change, so it is worth checking for updates before making plans.

Weighing up the options for your stay

When planning, you can distinguish between the options by their specific features: for the walk, consider its length and lack of signposting; for Lammefjord walks or bike rides, the mode of transport you prefer; and for KajakOasen, the independent use of rented equipment. Malergården offers a different focus, with rooms open to visitors, a garden and a cultural connection to the landscape. This can help you decide how much space you want to give art, walking or an independent excursion on the water during your stay.
