In Hinnerup, railway history, cultural offerings, a family swimming pool and nature give your trip different points of focus. You can plan around whether you want to explore exhibitions and events, swimming, or trails and landscapes.
Hinneruptårnet and the railway town
The ten-metre-high copper tower sculpture is called Hinneruptårnet. It commemorates 4 September 1862: on that day, travellers were able to board a train in Hinnerup for the first time, and Hinnerup gained the status of a railway town. 4 September still has an annual significance today: Hinneruptårnet marks the town’s birthday then, weather permitting.
Art and culture at the Kulturhus
Hinnerup Kulturhus offers art exhibitions, concerts, creative workshops and children’s theatre. Art exhibitions are held regularly in Uhresalen at Hinnerup Bibliotek & Kulturhus, so artworks may be on display there. Hinnerup Bibliotek & Kulturhus also has good parking facilities and accessible amenities. The cultural offerings range from exhibitions to concerts and workshops, with children’s theatre as another option at the Kulturhus.
Swimming and trails in Hinnerup
Hinnerup Badet is a family swimming pool with a 25-metre pool, a warm-water pool and a children’s area. All pools are open during public opening hours, including during early-morning swimming and lane swimming. If you plan to swim at one of these times, check the public opening hours before your visit.
For mountain bikers, the red MTB route in Hinnerup is a one-way trail. Take this route layout into account when planning. A public path in Hinnerup runs along the Lilleå River, very close to Ågade and Stadionsalle. These are specific points of reference for getting your bearings on foot, without assuming a particular walking time.
The Lilleå and the forest between Hinnerup and Grundfør
The Lilleå River in Lilleådalen near Hinnerup has a healthy otter population. Another nature attraction is the new forest between Hinnerup and Grundfør, which was established over several years on an area of 180 hectares. The second phase is complete; at the same time, the area continues to be developed and is used by visitors. The river landscape and the forest thus offer distinct nature-related points of interest for planning your trip.
Christmas tradition and trip planning
The Christmas lights in Fredensgade are an annual Hinnerup tradition that began more than 30 years ago. They stretch along the 450-metre residential street. If you plan to visit Hinnerup at Christmas, check the latest dates in advance to make sure your visit fits your travel schedule.
Hinnerup Station offers train connections to Aarhus. Check the timetable for your travel dates if you plan to include this connection in your journey or further travel plans. When choosing Hinnerup as a place to stay, consider whether culture, swimming, nature or trails will shape your visit.
