Stays and sleepovers atTyrstrup Kro

One of the largest collections of fine wines

Close to the gingerbread town Christiansfeld is Tyrstrup Kro by fields and woods. From here you have a good opportunity to transport yourself around central Jutland and have ample opportunity to experience all the magnificent sights the local area has to offer.

If you instead go on an inn stay for a culinary taste experience, the inn's kitchen serves both small simple dishes and large 8-course gourmet dinners. The inn offers, for example, a special champagne gourmet stay, which i.e. includes a glass of champagne to welcome you followed by an 8-course gourmet menu. A successful stay requires something good to eat and drink. At Tyrstrup Kro, everything from simple small dishes to large gourmet dinners are served, all prepared from fresh ingredients and in a way that makes even the most discerning lavishly satisfied.

At Tyrstrup Kro you will find 27 cozy rooms, all with shower, toilet, TV and wireless internet. 15 of the rooms are luxury suites with spa bath. The rooms are housed in a newer hotel building from 1998. High international class cuisine and rare collection of fine, old wines. Over the years, the inn has formed the setting for countless family parties, e.g., in the new party hall Glassalen, where there is room for 170 people.

It was Christian VII, who brought the Herrnhuts to Denmark in 1773. They were known as skilled craftsmen and merchants, and they founded the city, which was laid out according to a strict city plan, where the streets run perpendicular to each other. The Herrnhuters or Brødremenigheden, as we call them in Denmark, had a secret recipe for gingerbread, which since 1783 has been diligently baked and sold in Christiansfeld.

But Tyrstrup Kro is even older. It has been lying here for at least 350 years, and it arose because the peasants had to have a bite of bread when they were gathered for the duty work during the sowing and harvesting season. The current owner Torben Schultz has been here since 1987, and has done a great job of completely restoring the old inn and at the same time making it a recognized eatery, where guests come from far and wide to have a good meal at a well-set table in the nice restaurants. Lunch is usually eaten in the Fireplace Room, while Jægerstuen is the inn's gourmet restaurant, which is decorated in a classic style with i.a. a Meissner tiled stove from 1890.

    Visit the world heritage in Christiansfeld

    The town was founded in 1773 by German Moravians from Herrnhut by the orders of King Christian VII, therefor the name Christiansfeld. The Herrnhuts were very skilled craftsmen and tradesmen. They created a town with coherent architecture, a consistent use of certain materials and colours, along with their sense for details originating from their strong Christian faith. This faith is the underlying basis for both their life, way of thinking and their town planning, placing God and the church at the centre of everything.

    Christiansfeld has been carefully restored and its special architecture, materials and colours makes it something very unique.

    At Christmas you can enjoy the beautiful Herrnhut-stars that light up the streets around the Praetorian-square and the Church-place.

    The Moravians are an evangelical-Lutheran independent congregation with the same confessional basis as the Danish National Church. The Moravians are also called the Herrnhuts and can be dated back to 1415. The Moravians are leaded by the Elders that can be compared to the council of the National Church.

    For further information about Christiansfeld and the Moravians - come visit this special city which was rewarded the UNESCO World heritage at the 4th of July 2015. 

    A walk in Christiansfeld is a walk into world history, with something new to investigate on every corner of the town.

    Skamlingsbanken - Beautiful unique nature in Kolding

    9.02 km

    With its 113 meters above sea level, Skamlingsbanken has a beautiful view, Skamlingsbanken is the highest point in Southern and Southern Jutland.

    Skamlingsbanken forms a beautiful natural area, from which there is a magnificent view over the entire area between Kolding and Christiansfeld. There is a view over the Little Belt to Funen and to the west far into Southern Jutland. The landscape appears lush with fields, beech forests, live fences along roads and field divides.

    In the area, there are plenty of opportunities for walks that go through the beautiful landscape - for example, take the trip all the way down to Binderup and Grønninghoved Strand and back again. A brisk trot of around five kilometres.


    Skamlingsbanken is known for the folk festivals that were held in the years 1843-59 in support of the Danish cause in Southern Jutland.
    At Højskamlingen stands a 16 meter high support made of 25 granite blocks in memory of the champions of the Danish cause in Schleswig. The buttress was erected in 1863, blown up by the Prussians in 1864 and erected again in 1866. The re-erection was possible because people in the area had collected and hidden the stones. Near the support are six other memorial supports and a pulpit of large boulders. Around the podium are five groups of trees, symbolizing the inseparability of the five Nordic countries. The trees are: beech (Denmark), birch (Sweden), spruce (Norway), pine (Finland) and rowan (Iceland).
    After the liberation in 1945, a memorial grove was set up for the fallen from the South Jutland resistance movement.


    Today, Skamlingsbanken is a popular excursion destination. At Skamlingsbanken there is accommodation and parking, a visitor center with a cafe that provides information about Skamlingsbanken's history and a restaurant.

    11.56 km

    Get to the top in Haderslev

    The water tower was build in 1924 and worked toward plentiful and clean water-source for the town population that only grew after the reunion. The tower was first put to use on first of January 1925. The tower was made of concrete and wrapped with red brick. 

    The tower added with its height a sight attraction in Haderslev. An exiting viewpoint can be reached from the top of the tower. There was public access to the tower from 1924-1966. The view of the town rooftops, green land and blue water is beautiful.

    Since then a second 'white tower' was added to Haderslev at christiansfeldvej in 1991 and the red water tower was no longer put to use as a water tower.

    The water tower has two functions today: one is to hold high the advent star in the last couple of weeks of the year. The second is to function as a symbol for the annual music festival 'Kløften festival', on the first day of summer break in June.

Free admission to the top of the tower. TheClowns, a local group, will add an extra special touch to this cosy afternoon event. The group will play their own music inside the tower. TheClowns hope that their concert will become part of this established Christmas tradition. Some group members live close to the water tower. At this time of the year, they look forward to the lighting of the star, which creates a unique atmosphere in Kløften Park throughout the Christmas period. TheClowns’ lyrical music evokes an atmosphere that is perfect for small, intimate concerts like those we can hold in the water tower. The group likes to experiment with all sorts of venues. The group loves to play in churches and believes that the Red Water Tower has something really special to offer as a concert venue. This is the third time TheClowns plays inside the water tower. They are looking forward to welcoming a large audience to shining stars, evocative music and lovely Christmas aromas – of mulled wine and apple turnovers.

  • Brødrene Grams Arkiv og Museum

    16.65 km

    Go to Voyens and experience the tale of a village smithy that became a modern industrial story. Learn how a company developed knowhow on all fronts within the fridge-freezer technology. It’s also the tale of how the small station town of Woyens developed into the thriving town of Vojens. Voyens is now in Haderslev Kommune (Haderslev Municipality).

    The village of Vojens grew along with the company into a modern provincial town. Without the enterprise of Brødrene Gram, there would still be just fields where the town is located today.

    After rumours began to spread that the railway was coming to Southern Jutland, the town was established, and after the railway was built, Vojens could thank the foresight of Hans Gram, who had taken the opportunity to establish his company. During the next 100 years, this workplace employed a large proportion of the population of Vojens.

    The manufacturer, Hans Gram, constructed a machine workshop covering 100m2 at Vojens in 1901. He was even able to supply whole dairies. Later on, his brother Aage Gram joined the company, which then became known as Brødrene Gram. Over 100 years, the number of employees grew from just a few to around 3500, and the company gained subsidiaries and dealers all over the whole world.

    Opening times:

    The museum is only open by arrangement.

    Write an email to the staff containing the following information:

    - Preferred visiting time.

    - Number of participants.

    - The email address that the answer should be sent to.
