Borup between Cultural Heritage, Trails and Nature

Borup combines designated cultural heritage with marked trails, nature experiences and a rail connection between Slagelse and Copenhagen. If you are looking for a place offering cultural and historical impressions, walks or a trip with varied interests, Borup provides several concrete starting points for your plans.

Culture and Local History at the Centre

Borup town centre is designated as a cultural heritage area because of its well-preserved railway town and many beautiful houses from the town’s founding period. This local character can be experienced through individual architectural and cultural landmarks. Borup Cinema was originally founded on 21 April 1924 by Steen Gregersen from Afholdshjemmet at Lindevej 3 in Borup.

Another notable cultural site is Borup Church. It is a Gothic hall church whose nave and chancel form a single long church interior. Its furnishings include an intricately carved cartilage-Baroque pulpit from 1630. Those interested in church interiors, historic architectural forms and craftsmanship will find a particularly tangible connection to the history of the town here.

Visual art is also firmly rooted in Borup: Skovbo Kunstforening organises six art exhibitions every year in the assembly hall of the cultural centre in Borup.

Marked Trails between Borup and Dyndet

For active days, the 22-kilometre Køge Å Trail is an important point of reference. The cycling and walking trail follows the Køge Å River and the Ås hills from Køge via Dyndet in Borup to Borup Station. For orientation, the Køge Å Trail is marked with wooden posts or blue metal signs.

A shorter local connection is provided by a marked footpath: it connects Møllelundparken with the cultural centre, continues through the centre under Bækgårdsvej and reaches the park by the stream. In this way, the cultural centre, town centre and park areas are linked by the described walking route. Dyndet ved Borup complements this picture as a natural area with a rich variety of plant and animal life.

Railways, Fishing and Practical Orientation

Borup Station typically serves passengers travelling between Slagelse and Copenhagen; regional trains operate on this route. There is a DSB ticket machine on Platform 1 at the station.

If you are looking for a hotel in Borup, you can focus your choice on the themes of the town: cultural and historical impressions in the centre, marked trails along riverside and park landscapes, nature in Dyndet or the rail connection. Anglers can purchase fishing licences for Kimmerslev Sø and Dalby Sø at Borup Library during staffed opening hours. This means Borup can be explored according to your interests through culture, activity, nature or a stay focused on fishing.

Other places in the same regional context include Stubberup, Ejby, Lille Skensved and Køge.
