In the heart of Nature Park Lillebælt lies the Hindsgavl Peninsula.
The Hindsgavl Peninsula, loved near and far, lies at the center of Nature Park Lillebælt. A beautiful stretch of land surrounded by the calm waves of the Belt, cliffs, beaches, forests, and red deer roaming the open savanna. The peninsula hides ramparts, (robber) legends, treasures, and memories.
Over the centuries, noblemen on horseback, kings waiting at the landing pier, families on excursions, and souls seeking healing have passed through. Today, the peninsula welcomes conference guests and families from afar looking to connect and unwind.

100 years of public ownership
2021 was the 100th anniversary of Middelfart Municipality's purchase of the Hindsgavl Peninsula. Nowadays it is a completely unique, recreational area of nature that is open to everyone. After the municipality took ownership, there was a gradual reorganisation of traditional forestry and agricultural operations. The land purchase aimed and still aims to preserve and strengthen nature and cultural history and to give people better opportunities to use and experience both. The peninsula has developed into a sustainable nature park and deer park with room for all and with respect for nature and a Danish history that has left its mark all the way back to the 17th century.
