n Denmark's Funniest Forest, there are over 60 attractions - and once you've paid the entrance fee, all attractions and the Aquapark are free!
Thrills, fun, and cozy times for both kids and adults
The forest offers experiences for the whole family. The youngest ones can, for example, take a ride in the Red Baron, where little pilots can control their own airplane. Another favorite among kids in Fårup is the Squirrel Tower, where you're lifted up to the treetops and then dropped in free fall back down toward the ground. For the older kids and speed lovers, there are thrilling roller coasters with lots of high-speed action. The Orkanen coaster is the only one in the Nordics that goes both above and UNDER water!
You can also try Denmark's wildest acceleration in the Lynet coaster, which launches from 0 to 80 km/h in just two seconds. Or how about a ride on the Falken, Denmark's fastest wooden roller coaster, or the Whirlwind, where you're tossed up and down from a height of 19 meters while also spinning around.
Fårup is much more than fun roller coasters. You can also enjoy bounce pads, numerous trampolines, horseback riding, mini-golf, canoeing, climbing structures, or a visit to the giant playground. And Fårup is, above all, about coziness and an authentic forest atmosphere!

The old troll factory at Gjøl houses the troll museum “Troldemuseet”.
“Troldemuseet” tells us the story about Thomas Dam and the lucky trolls (Lykketroldene) from Gjøl, and how great an artist he was.
In approx.1930 Thomas Dam started carving wooden figures. They become very popular and sold readily. New methods came into use, and in the 1940’s we saw the first creatures looking like trolls in clay and on paintings.
Thomas Dam has worked in wood, clay, rubber, ceramics and stoneware. Furthermore, he has made gigantic trolls for i.a. Karolinelund, Bakken and shopping centres at home and abroad.
The story is told by means of modern technology and an exhibition of various products in many different materials.
