Discover Klavsebølle

Klavsebølle appeals to travellers who want to combine their holiday with unusual discoveries. Stone Age traces, a wetland covering around 30 hectares, stories from rural everyday life and the diverse work of the artist Henriette Westh give the place a range of different facets. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, it is therefore particularly interesting to consider which focus should define your trip: nature, cultural history or creative experiences.

Stone Age traces at Kong Holms Høj

Kong Holms Høj offers a glimpse far back into history. Kong Holms Høj is a Stone Age dolmen or passage grave dating from 3950 to 2801 BC. The northern section is particularly distinctive: it contains a free-standing passage-grave chamber aligned from north to south. It consists of seven to eight supporting stones and one or two additional stones belonging to a passage on the eastern side.

This makes Kong Holms Høj a tangible point of reference for anyone interested in early forms of construction, archaeology and traces of past societies. Such a place can also provide an engaging starting point for conversations with children: the dimensions and arrangement of the stones make history tangible through the site itself, without the day’s itinerary having to consist solely of museum visits.

Holmsmose and its birdlife

Holmsmose offers a different focus. The wetland covers around 30 hectares and includes a permanently water-filled bog as well as wet and dry meadows. Among the species found in this habitat are grebes, coots, spotted redshanks, lapwings and marsh harriers.

The different landscape features make Holmsmose an interesting destination for nature lovers and travellers who want to take a closer look during their holiday. Those who prefer a quieter day can make the wetland experience a counterpoint to the cultural history of Kong Holms Høj.

Everyday history and creative work

A historical account of everyday life takes us to a house in Klausebølle in the parish of Tullebølle. Three unmarried girls lived there: 23-year-old Anne Dorthea Hansen and 16-year-olds Anne Kirstine Rasmussen and Johanne Margrethe Larsen. All three earned their living by weaving straw hats. Their names and occupations give the local history a personal dimension and show how regional history can also be explored through work and craftsmanship.

Henriette Westh offers a distinctly different cultural perspective. She works with painting, illustrations and comics, regularly has her own stand at comic festivals and teaches young people, among other things, comic art and watercolour painting. These themes can be especially enriching when different interests come together within a family: historical traces for some, drawing and visual storytelling for others.

Plan the right stay in Klavsebølle

The “Klavsebølle” shelter can accommodate five people. Nevertheless, your personal travel plans remain the decisive factor when searching for a holiday apartment or holiday home. Should the accommodation serve as a base for exploring nature, a peaceful setting for cultural history or a starting point for shared days filled with creative inspiration? Klavsebølle brings together several different themes without requiring you to commit to just one type of holiday.
