Discover Borup: Culture, Trails and Nature

Borup combines cultural history, marked trails and the Dyndet nature area to create a diverse destination. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Borup, you can plan your stay according to whether you prefer historic townscapes, art and church interiors, or movement through the landscape. The various attractions can be explored as independent holiday ideas, without limiting Borup to just one theme.

Cultural environment, cinema and art in Borup

A characteristic starting point for exploring Borup is the town centre. It is designated as a cultural environment because of its well-preserved railway town and the many beautiful houses from the town's founding period. Anyone interested in local history and architecture will find a tangible reason here to take a closer look at the centre's developed character.

Borup Cinema is also part of the town's history. It was originally founded on 21 April 1924 by Steen Gregersen from Afholdshjemmet at Lindevej 3 in Borup. Skovbo Kunstforening adds another cultural dimension: The association holds six art exhibitions every year in the assembly hall of the cultural centre in Borup. Thus, alongside its historic townscape, Borup also has a connection to the visual arts.

Borup Church is a Gothic nave church. Its nave and chancel form a single long church interior. Particularly noteworthy is the intricately carved cartilage-Baroque pulpit from 1630. For travellers interested in culture, this creates a contrast between the railway town, the cultural centre and the older church furnishings.

Exploring trails and nature

If you would like to experience more than culture during your stay, you can include the 22-kilometre Køge Å Trail in your plans. The cycling and hiking trail follows the Køge Å river and the Ås hills from Køge via Dyndet in Borup to Borup Station. The trail is marked with wooden posts or blue metal signs. Its length and clear markings are practical points of reference for planning your day; how much of it you use is up to you.

In Borup, a marked pedestrian path also connects Møllelundparken with the cultural centre. It continues through the centre beneath Bækgårdsvej to the park by the stream.

Dyndet ved Borup is a nature area with a rich variety of plant and animal life. It complements the routes along the Køge Å with another aspect of the landscape. This contrast can be helpful when choosing your accommodation: A holiday apartment in Borup suits a travel plan that combines cultural discoveries in the town with excursions into nature.

Getting there and further orientation

Borup Station typically serves passengers travelling between Slagelse and Copenhagen; regional trains operate on this route. A DSB ticket machine is located on platform 1. During staffed opening hours, fishing permits for Kimmerslev Sø and Dalby Sø can be purchased at Borup Library. In addition to culture and hiking, this provides further specific starting points for planning your own trip.

If you would like to expand your choice of locations, you can also view Lille Skensved, Stubberup, Ejby and Køge.
