The best hikes from bus stations in Liegård Plantage

Once planted on open heathlands in the northern Randbøl Heath in 1809 and known as Gjødding Plantation, Gødding Skov has transformed into a diverse forest of spruce, beech, and oak. Hidden among its northern and south-western parts are hundreds of stone mounds — remnants of 2,500-year-old field systems from the Early Iron Age, built from stones cleared by farmers to cultivate the soil. The ancient Oxen or Army Road crosses the area, leaving behind sunken tracks and over 20 burial mounds along its path. At the heart of the forest stands Kæltringhøj, an impressive Bronze Age burial mound rising 5 meter high with a diameter of 45 meter. A striking testament to the area’s deep history.

At Haraldskær Fabrik this bridge takes you across the river and offers beautiful views.

Gallery only open by appointment, but really cool art outside that can be enjoyed at any time. Picnic tables with a fantastic view, but unsure if private area or free to use by the public as well.

The Renaissance Engelsholm Castle was built in 1592 with a rectangular floor plan. In the corners there are towers with a square floor plan, which received their onion domes during renovation work in 1730. The castle park was laid out according to the French model. The castle has housed an adult education center since 1940 and is generally not open to the public, but occasionally there are, among other things, classical concerts.

Engelsholm Sø is 44 hectares and is located between Vejle and Billund. The lake has a maximum depth of about 6 m. Vejle Å has its source at Engelsholm Sø.

The first known owner of the place is Councilor Timme Nielsen Rosenkrantz from Stensballegård. In 1452 he acquired the farm. The Renaissance Engelsholm Castle is beautifully situated on the shore of Engelsholmer See, surrounded by forest and park. The castle was built in 1592 by Knud Brahe, brother of Tycho Brahe. The building has square towers in each corner. Inspiration comes from the Castle of Ancy-le-Franc in Burgundy, France. In the 1730s, Gerhard de Lichtenberg began extensive restoration and rebuilding of the palace. Among other things, he added the striking onion domes, built a large three-story breeding farm and laid out the park in the French style. Gerhard de Lichtenberg also left his mark at the nearby Nørup Church, which belonged to Engelsholm Castle from 1586 to 1935. The Romanesque church is richly decorated with Baroque-style furnishings and, like the castle, has onion-shaped domes. The castle burned down in 1952 but was immediately restored to its original form. Engelsholm Castle has operated as a college since 1940 and is now owned by the independent institution Engelsholm Højskole. The castle and the other annexes are not open to the public, but there are regular events, e.g. classical concerts. From the outside, however, the castle can be seen from the southern part of the park. Source: Wikipedia

Well located car park with benches and tables. From the site there is a good view of Engelsholm Sø, and at the same time the site is a good starting point for hikes in the Engelsholm Castle area.

Fantastic views of Engelsholm Castle and lake.
