Horse Carriage

It is also possible to take a horse carriage ride. The trips go through the southern part of Rold Forest. 

On your trip you will see the sinkholes ‘Røverstuen’ and ‘Hestegravene’, where stories about the notorious robbers of Rold and other stories will be told. 

Afterwards, we will go to the bog Lille Økssø where there is a lookout tower, which allows you to take in the views of the abundant wildlife in this part of Rold forest. 

If you have brought coffee/cake, lunch, drinks, e.g. Store Økssø is the obvious place for a break - this should be coordinated with the driver before the beginning of the tour in order to adapt the route - or, you can also visit MosskovPavillonen, located next to the lake. It is a cozy eatery/restaurant where you can buy ice cream, cake, coffee, as well as both hot and cold dishes for lunch. 

The horse carriage rides goes through some of Rold forest’s scenic roads, the outbound and inbound journey takes different routes.

The drivers are happy to tell stories about the area, the nature, and who knows - maybe a fun little story or anecdote.

PRICE: 2 hours 1200 DKK. - thereafter 750 DKK. per hour.
