Arrild: Nature Trails, Water Park and Special Leisure Destinations

Arrild offers an unusual combination of woodland landscapes, water-based experiences, sports and historical traces. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Arrild can tailor their stay entirely to their own interests: peaceful walks through the plantations, fishing at the lakes, a round of golf or an active day at Arrild Ferieby. There are also several specific leisure destinations for trips with children, while the landscape around Arrild provides space for slower discoveries.

Nature among Forest, Heath and Dunes

Arrild Plantage is located in the immediate vicinity of Arrild Ferieby and offers nature trails for peaceful walks in the forest. It is part of Natura 2000 site 93, “Lindet Skov, Hønning Mose, Hønning Plantage and Lovrup Skov”. Arrild also has paths and trails connected to Hønning Plantage and Lindet Skov, suitable for hiking, cycling and horse riding. This allows you to vary your days: a short walk in the forest, a longer cycling tour or a route on horseback.

Hønning Plantage features diverse nature with oak scrub, juniper heath and vegetation-covered dunes. The heath-covered area of Helm Polde is located near Arrild and adds another special natural area to this landscape. This variety is particularly interesting when choosing accommodation if you do not want to plan every holiday day in the same way, but instead want to alternate between active pursuits and quiet impressions of the landscape.

Water, Fishing and Sporting Experiences

Arrild Fiskesø consists of two lakes connected by a fly-fishing stream. Arrild Put & Take comprises two lakes of 17,000 m² each and a 560-metre-long stream used exclusively for fly fishing. There is also a barbecue pavilion overlooking the lake. These details make both fishing destinations interesting for visitors who want to combine a stay by the water with planning their own day.

Arrild has the Arrild Golf course. Arrild Golf is situated in gently hilly terrain surrounded by large forests. There is also a disc golf course in Arrild. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Arrild can take these options into account when planning their holiday without having to limit their stay to a single sport.

Leisure at Arrild Ferieby

The Arrild water park at Arrild Ferieby is located near Toftlund, Rømø, Tønder and Ribe. Arrild Svømmehal has three swimming pools and a 107-metre-long water slide with a sound and light show. There is also a paved multisport court at the playground in Arrild Ferieby near Feriecentrets Restaurant. A pétanque court is situated in the greenery between Feriecentrets Restaurant and Arrild Svømmehal.

The miniature golf course at Arrild Ferieby has international dimensions. Together with the playground, multisport court, swimming pools and water slide, it provides a selection from which you can choose depending on how you feel that day. If you are travelling with children, these different activities can be incorporated into your travel planning without implying any particular suitability or a specific itinerary.

Historical Traces at Arrild Kirke

History is also part of Arrild’s character. Arrild Kirke was first mentioned in 1282 as the property and source of income of the priests in Ribe. In Præsteskoven near Arrild Kirke, there is a network of paths from which part of a fortification from the First World War can be viewed. Those who want to discover historical sites alongside nature and leisure activities will find another reason here not to view the surrounding area merely as a starting point for sporting activities.

Arrild therefore suits travellers who want to divide their holiday days flexibly between nature, water, exercise and history. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can first decide which of these experiences should be the focus. The plantation landscapes, fishing waters, Arrild Golf, Arrild water park and historical traces offer different points of reference for this.

For further travel planning, you can also visit Skærbæk, Bredebro, Sønder Sejerslev, Vinum, Ballum, Løgumkloster, Højer and Rudbøl.
