  • Enjoy lunch at Country Market, where you’ll find both child-friendly dishes and freshly made delicacies. It’s also a great place to pick up local treats to take home.
  • Spend the afternoon being creative at &MuchMore, where children can paint, draw, or make little projects while adults enjoy a coffee break.
  • End the day with a visit to FredensborgFordi, the town’s cooperative bookshop full of great children’s books, local stories and small gifts – a lovely way to round off your trip.
