History, fairytale gardens and calm

Hops still grow in the hedgerows as a living memory of when the vines covered the area. Today, Humlemagasinet in Harndrup is the region's cultural heart. In the old hop-drying hall from the late 1800s, you'll find a museum, changing exhibitions and enchanting gardens that breathe calm and history.

But the area also holds darker tales. In the 18th and 19th centuries, ‘the Harndrup scoundrels,’ ‘the Asperup dogs,’ not to mention ‘Boye's gang,’ ravaged. They lived on the meager soil that the manor lords didn't want – a harsh life on society's edge, far from the polished floors. Today it's peaceful. In Brenderup, Danish design and crafts are in focus, while the surrounding landscape invites slowness.

Tip: Visit Humlemagasinet in December, when the large Christmas exhibition fills the historic rooms.
