The Torup–Sondrup Church Path and the old farmhouses along Solhøjvej provide two specific points of interest for a stay in Torup. Most of the path runs within the Sondrup and Uldrup Bakker protected area and meets the Fjordmino in Sondrup. For the church paths between Torup and Sondrup, Odder Municipality provides a brochure and an interactive map. This makes it easy to plan around a clear choice: the walk, a possible extension via the Fjordmino, or the village’s built character.

The church path in the protected landscape

The large protected area designated in 1977 covers the entire Sondrup and Uldrup Bakker area. Its boundary runs immediately south of Torup, and most of the Torup–Sondrup Church Path lies within the area. This means the route can be understood not only through its connection between Torup and Sondrup, but also in relation to the surrounding protected landscape. Torup lies just north of the boundary; most of the path runs through the protected landscape. These two points of reference are useful when planning if you would like to connect the church path with the landscape around Sondrup and Uldrup Bakker.

The Fjordmino as an extension

In Sondrup, the Torup–Sondrup Church Path meets the Fjordmino, a hiking route around Horsens Fjord. The church path can be included as an additional loop on a tour around the fjord. This gives you a choice between the path connecting Torup and Sondrup and the extended fjord tour. The total length of 4.6 kilometres applies to the route including the section from Sondrup south to the Fjordmino. The figure therefore refers to the route with this additional section, not solely to the church path between the villages. This distinction helps you match the distance to the right walking option.

Starting point and orientation

Hundslund Hall, Torupvej 39 in Torup, is a recommended starting point for the Torup–Sondrup Church Path; parking is available there. The address identifies a specific starting point, and the parking is a useful reference for arriving by car. Odder Municipality’s hiking trail directory provides a brochure and an interactive map for the church paths between Sondrup and Torup. Use these resources to familiarise yourself with the route before your walk. Both formats offer a way to include the connection between the villages in your route planning.

Old farmhouses along Solhøjvej

Beautiful old farmhouses stand along Solhøjvej in Torup. They give the village’s built character a specific point of reference and offer a different focus from the church path: here, the interest is in the buildings along a named road, rather than choosing a walking route. When planning your time in Torup, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to walk or also take a look at the farmhouses. These are different ways of experiencing the village: the connection between Torup and Sondrup, and the built character along Solhøjvej.

When looking for a holiday rental in Torup, you can take your plans into account. Would you like to walk the church path or include the Fjordmino as an additional loop in your plans?
