Gandrup: Nature, Leisure and Art

Teglværkssøerne: Nature shaped by local history

Near Gandrup lie Teglværkssøerne, a natural area with several natural lakes. They were created as a result of the former clay extraction at Gandrup Teglværk. The clay was used to produce yellow bricks; the work lasted 40 years, from the 1960s until 2000. The natural area also includes several natural bodies of water as well as a diverse bird and plant life. At Teglværkssøerne, the development of the area from clay extraction to a lakeside landscape can be traced. For observing nature, birds and plants form a second focus alongside the bodies of water, while the former clay extraction adds the history of brickmaking in Gandrup. Anyone wishing to consider the landscape and local history together can plan this section as a nature and cultural theme in Gandrup. The former brickmaking remains present as a tangible part of the area's landscape history.

Borgerstien and the tunnel beneath Omfartsvejen

The Borgerstien runs between Gandrup and Øster Hassing. As part of the Borgerstien project, a tunnel was also built beneath Omfartsvejen. For planning routes in Gandrup, two specific spatial details are therefore important: the connection between the two places and the location of the tunnel beneath the road. The Borgerstien can be included as a separate stop during a stay in Gandrup. This makes it possible to combine the route with the structural connection to Omfartsvejen without assuming any additional distances or journey times.

Activities in Tegllunden

Tegllunden is located behind Gandrup School. Tegllunden has a parkour course, a skate park, a disc golf course and outdoor table tennis. Its location behind Gandrup School gives the facilities a specific spatial reference for finding your way around. The activities represent different forms of exercise and can be considered individually when planning the day. With changing interests in physical activities, Tegllunden can accommodate several activity choices during a stay in Gandrup instead of prescribing a single sport. Even without a fixed order, the four activities can be given different priority levels throughout the day.

Art at Galleri Pallisgaard

Galleri Pallisgaard is located in Gandrup. Johanne Pallisgaard works with oil paintings and watercolours. Galleri Pallisgaard can be visited when the artist is at home or an appointment has been arranged by telephone. For those interested in culture, the gallery is a specific art destination in Gandrup. Anyone wishing to include oil paintings and watercolours in their stay in Gandrup can plan a gallery visit as a separate item on the itinerary. The timing of the visit depends on one of the two available options: the artist's presence or an appointment arranged by telephone. The artist's personal presence or a telephone appointment should therefore be taken into account before the visit.
