Discover Dybvad

Dybvad brings together a lake, art and a tangible local history. At Søpark, water, a route through a meadow area and the “Krukken” sculpture come together; the history of the roads and railway adds to the picture of the town. This mix makes vacation planning straightforward: nature, fishing, art and history offer different ways to spend your days.

Søpark: circular route, meadows and fishing

Søpark was created around a lake that was formerly a marl pit. A 2 km route runs around the lake and through the meadow area. This makes it easy to combine a walk with a clearly defined loop. Tables and benches are available for visitors at Dybvad Søpark, so you can plan a break into your visit. The lake, meadow area and seating offer different reasons to visit the park.

If you would like to fish at the lake, you should factor a day permit into your plans: Voer Å Sportsfiskerforening holds the fishing rights and sells day permits for fishing at Dybvad Søpark. Pike, carp and tench can be caught there. Fishing permits and information about species may change, so check the current conditions before fishing.

“Krukken”: a sculpture with several references

The sculpture “Krukken” is located in Søpark. Designed by Jørgen Carlo Larsen after the human torso, its main section combines references to a jug, a body and the chimney of a brickworks. In this way, a human form, a vessel motif and an image from the world of work come together in a single work of art. Art enthusiasts can explore how different forms combine to create a shared motif, rather than viewing the sculpture only as a single figure.

Jernbanegade and the history of the town

Dybvad’s station-town houses were built around Jernbanegade. Bricks from Dybvad Teglværk can be seen in the oldest houses; the building material links the houses to the local brickworks. The railway history also has a specific date: a train arrived at Dybvad station on 17 July 1899. Together, these details show different aspects of the town’s history—the development of the station-town houses, traces of the brickworks and a precisely dated event at the station.

Another landscape

Fejborg Bakke is a hilly area with many trees. As a landscape, it offers a different emphasis from Søpark: there, the lake and meadow area define the scene; here, the terrain and tree cover shape the impression. This means different features take prominence across the natural landscapes, rather than reducing the landscape to water alone.

When looking for a holiday home in Dybvad, consider what you would most like to focus on during your vacation: are you especially drawn to the loop around the lake, with the opportunity to fish, or would you prefer to focus more on art and local history? The town’s specific attractions can help you decide whether Dybvad offers the kind of discoveries you want your trip to revolve around.
