Discover Gandrup: Nature, Activities and Art

Gandrup offers a variety of attractions for a trip that brings nature, activities and culture together. Borgerstien runs between the town and Øster Hassing, while Teglværkssøerne tell the story of the area’s former brickworks. There are also a range of leisure activities in Tegllunden and a personal introduction to art at Galleri Pallisgaard.

Landscape and history at Teglværkssøerne

Teglværkssøerne is a natural area near Gandrup. Several natural lakes were formed there through earlier clay extraction; today, the area is characterised by a diverse bird and plant life. The landscape is also connected to the area’s industrial history: the clay extraction carried out by Gandrup Teglværk was used to produce yellow bricks. This extraction took place for 40 years, from the 1960s until 2000.

Those who wish to combine nature observation and regional history when planning their trip will find a special thematic focus here. Teglværkssøerne represent not only water and landscape, but also traces of earlier use. If you find this contrast appealing, a holiday home in Gandrup could be a suitable direction for your search when planning your stay.

Exploring Borgerstien

Borgerstien runs between Gandrup and Øster Hassing. As part of the Borgerstien project, a tunnel was also built beneath Omfartsvejen. These two details can help with orientation if you would like to include the trail in your excursion plans. Keep the specific route in mind and plan your day according to your own interests and preferred pace of travel.

Active leisure in Tegllunden

Tegllunden is located behind Gandrup School and offers several opportunities for exercise and shared activities. There is a parkour course, a skate park and a disc golf course. Outdoor table tennis is also available. This makes it possible to plan a varied active day for travel groups with different preferences: while some may prefer to use the course, others can skate, play disc golf or start a game of table tennis.

Art at Galleri Pallisgaard

Galleri Pallisgaard is located in Gandrup. Johanne Pallisgaard works with oil paintings and watercolours. Oil paintings and watercolours create different artistic accents. A visit is possible when the artist is at home or when an appointment has been arranged by telephone. Plan this cultural activity with the stated visiting condition in mind. Particularly as a complement to experiences in nature and active pursuits, the gallery can add a quieter, personal touch to your trip.
