Tour of Hindsgavl Deer Park

This circular route is the medium-length route among the three official trails offered on the Hindsgavl peninsula, in the heart of Lillebælt Nature Park. The route runs along the wild north coast, where you can see the two Little Belt bridges, and crosses the historic grounds of Hindsgavl Castle. Its main feature is that half the route is within the wildlife park enclosure and half outside it, offering a wonderful combination of architectural heritage and the chance to observe the park’s large deer.
