Skibelund Krat

The park extends across a south-facing slope of Kongeå Valley, featuring both oak thickets and tall beech forest sections throughout its grounds.

Following Denmark's defeat in 1864, the park became a central meeting place for Danish-minded citizens from both sides of Kongeå from 1865 to 1920.

Twenty-two memorial stones stand within the park, including the Language Monument and Magnus Stone, commemorating individuals who defended Danish identity in South Jutland.

The main path through Skibelund Krat accommodates wheelchairs with assistance, while parking facilities are available near Hotel Skibelund Krat and the sports school.

White anemones carpet the oak thicket each spring, with their seeds containing an oil deposit that attracts ants, facilitating natural seed dispersal.
