Discover Humlebæk: Forest, Beach and Culture

Humlebæk combines varied nature experiences with coastline, harbour and culture. Those looking for a holiday apartment for a varied stay will find different ideas here for days spent together: marked paths through the Krogerup Forests, activities at Humlebæk Harbour, the child-friendly Babylone Beach and a year-round programme of events at KulturStationen.

Forest paths for active and relaxing excursions

The Krogerup Forests have a 6 km hiking trail marked in yellow and red. The route provides clear guidance for anyone planning a longer hike during their stay. In addition, Hjertestien is a marked 2.1 km path through the Krogerup Forests. The two different route lengths make it easier to choose between a longer circuit and a more compact walk, without having to commit to a particular plan for the day.

Visitors can also cycle along the paths in the Krogerup Forests. This makes it possible to explore the landscape in different ways. The marked paths are therefore suitable both for hiking and cycling. This makes the Krogerup Forests a versatile natural area for planning your day, without prescribing a particular order for the activities.

Krogerup, Harbour and Beach

The Krogerup landscape is characterised by fields, small forests, open areas and a main avenue. This leads to the fishing village of Gl. Humlebæk on the Øresund, where small, well-preserved fishermen’s houses stand. This creates an appealing contrast between the paths through the estate landscape and the character of the former fishing village by the water.

At Humlebæk Harbour, children can borrow crab-fishing equipment and life jackets. This provides a specific activity for younger visitors by the water. Babylone Beach is located 300 metres north of Humlebæk Harbour and is a child-friendly beach. When choosing a holiday apartment, it may therefore be decisive whether you would rather centre your days around forest paths, harbour experiences or time at the beach.

Culture in the Former Post Office

KulturStationen is a user-run cultural centre in Humlebæk and offers a varied programme of events throughout the year. It is located in the former post office at Humlebæk railway station. The cultural centre includes a performance space, a lounge area and a gallery in the basement. KulturStationen thus complements the nature and water experiences with a cultural venue offering several event spaces. The three areas give the centre different spatial focal points. Those who do not want to plan only outdoor activities for their trip can include KulturStationen as a cultural highlight.

Humlebæk can therefore be explored according to different preferences: with longer or shorter routes, by cycling through the Krogerup Forests, with a visit to the harbour and beach or with a cultural programme.
