Rønnede between Views, History and Nature

If you are weighing up wide-ranging views, archaeological history and active nature experiences for your trip, Rønnede offers several clearly distinct points of interest. At 123 metres, Kobanke is the highest point in Zealand and offers a viewpoint overlooking large parts of South Zealand. This gives the town a scenic character that is particularly appealing to visitors who enjoy combining views and activity during their days.

Archaeology at EcoPark

At EcoPark in Rønnede, a village dating from the late Roman Iron Age was excavated. The village at EcoPark in Rønnede was founded between AD 150 and 220. A stone road from antiquity associated with the village was selected in 2013 as one of the ten most important archaeological finds in Denmark. Those interested in early settlements and archaeological evidence will find concrete historical topics here rather than a purely abstract history of the town. The village’s dating and the special significance of the stone road make EcoPark a fixed cultural point of reference when planning a trip.

Tradition and Everyday Danish Life

At the annual Kulsvier Festival in Rønnede, Kulsvier pancakes are served. This culinary speciality adds a living tradition to the picture of the town. Together with the archaeological themes, it creates a cultural profile that is interesting both for curious families and for couples and travellers with an interest in history and regional customs.

Getting Around from Rønnede

The available bus connections also play a role in planning your days. From Rønnede and Kongsted, bus routes 263 run to Haslev, 630R to Næstved and Faxe Ladeplads, and 102A to Køge and Præstø. From Haslev, there is a train connection to Copenhagen and onward via Køge. This means that different excursion directions can be taken into account when choosing accommodation, without making the stay dependent solely on one particular experience. The available connections provide a concrete basis if you are considering Rønnede as a starting point for sightseeing and other activities in the surrounding area.

Golf and Nature Experiences

Rønnede Golfklub has a large 18-hole course with a par of 71, appealing to visitors who want to incorporate sporting activity into their trip. At the foot of the Forest Tower, the experience continues on a 650-metre-long spiral ramp that gently winds its way up to the top. A 900-metre-long boardwalk leads through the forest; along the way, there are resting areas and viewing platforms. The different trail lengths provide useful guidance for planning: the longer forest route is followed not simply by more metres, but by several designated points for pausing and taking in the views.

Classic Cuisine in Historic Surroundings

Rønnede Kro offers classic Danish cuisine in historic surroundings. This gives the culinary side of the trip a clear place alongside views, cultural heritage, mobility and nature.

For further trip planning, you can also find Faxe Ladeplads, Fakse, Karise, Mosebølle, Leestrup Strand and Haslev.
