Discover Tommerup

Tommerup combines historic architecture, distinctive craft traditions and varied paths through the landscape. When planning your trip, it is worth taking the experiences you want into account when choosing your accommodation: Around Tommerup, you will find both longer hiking routes and shorter paths, bird parks and insights into the history of rural life.

Hiking trails for active and more leisurely days

The Tommerup hiking trail network opened in spring 1998. It comprises 16 routes totalling more than 100 km and crosses the municipality in various directions. This allows you to plan your outings in different ways: A longer hike offers plenty of distance, while individual sections or shorter circular routes are easier to fit into a varied holiday day. The network has four starting points, including Tommerup Church.

The Tallerupsøerne lakes near Fyrtårn Tommerup are a dedicated starting point for a shorter hike. There, a path of approximately 1 km leads around three lakes. Those who want to combine different daily rhythms can consider longer routes in the hiking trail network and this shorter path as different outing options.

Bird parks and insights into former rural life

Danmarks Fugle Zoo is home to more than 800 birds from around 150 species. A visit therefore offers a tangible perspective on the diversity of birdlife. At Frydenlund Fuglepark, there is also a 2 km-long, relatively accessible path through hilly terrain. This is another way to combine time outdoors with a manageable distance. Danmarks Fugle Zoo at Frydenlund Fuglepark also includes a small museum with old Danish farming equipment. It offers insights into former rural life and complements the nature experience with a cultural and historical aspect.

Church, brickworks and ceramics

Tommerup Church is a Romanesque church on Kirkebjerg in Tommerup. It acquired its present appearance in 1920, when the tower was raised and fitted with blind arcades and stepped gables. For travellers interested in culture, the church is therefore not merely a historic name, but a tangible example of the town's architectural development.

Museet Lilleskov Teglværk is preserved and operated as a brickworks museum. Historically, the clay railway ran approximately 400 m to the former clay pit during the summer. The route and its destination point to the site's former use and give the museum visit a vivid connection to working history. Another unusual attraction is the 5- to 6-metre-high ceramic jugs. They have been a hallmark of Tommerup Keramiske Værksted for 30 years and make the local craft tradition remarkable simply through their size.

The right accommodation for planning your trip

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Tommerup, you can first consider what kind of days you want your holiday to revolve around. The extensive hiking trail network is well suited to planning longer outings, while the approximately 1 km-long path at the Tallerupsøerne lakes or the 2 km-long path in Frydenlund Fuglepark allow for individual activities with clearly defined distances. Travellers interested in culture can also add the church, brickworks museum and ceramics to their itinerary. In this way, choosing accommodation becomes not just a question of where to spend the night, but part of deciding which facets of Tommerup you want to discover.
