Gandrup offers several distinct starting points for a stay: Borgerstien runs between Gandrup and Øster Hassing, Teglværkssøerne were shaped by earlier clay extraction, and Gandrup is home to both Galleri Pallisgaard and Tegllunden. The local attractions therefore range from a route and a lake landscape to art and recreational facilities. When choosing a holiday rental, these different highlights can help you decide how to explore Gandrup according to the interests you want to shape your stay.

A path between Gandrup and Øster Hassing

Borgerstien runs between Gandrup and Øster Hassing. As part of the project, a tunnel was built beneath Omfartsvejen. The place names mark the endpoints of Borgerstien; the tunnel beneath Omfartsvejen is a structure built as part of the project. Borgerstien can therefore be seen as a connection between places, while the gallery and Tegllunden are individual destinations in Gandrup. This gives you a route and a landmark structure to consider when planning, though they serve different purposes.

Teglværkssøerne: Clay extraction and a lake landscape

At Teglværkssøerne, former land use and landscape come together. Gandrup Teglværk extracted clay there to make yellow bricks. This extraction continued for 40 years, from the 1960s until 2000. The work created several natural lakes, which are part of a natural area near Gandrup. The area is also home to a rich variety of bird and plant life. The lakes’ origins connect them to local brickmaking: alongside the natural area, there is also a specific industrial past. If you are looking for a destination that brings nature and industrial history together, this connection offers a tangible point of interest. The lakes and their bird and plant life shape the character of the landscape, while the former clay extraction explains the link to the production of yellow bricks.

Art and planning your visit

Galleri Pallisgaard is located in Gandrup. Johanne Pallisgaard works with oil paintings and watercolours, so the gallery focuses on the work of a particular artist. Unlike the landscape-focused history of Teglværkssøerne, the focus here is on painting. A visit is possible when the artist is at home or an appointment has been made by phone. Call before travelling and check whether a visit is possible.

Recreational activities at Tegllunden

Tegllunden is located behind Gandrup School. It has a parkour course, a skate park, a disc golf course and outdoor table tennis. The activities are quite different: the parkour and skate facilities are complemented by disc golf and table tennis outdoors. Unlike the gallery, where visits need to be arranged by phone, Tegllunden brings several facilities together in one place. Check the condition of the facilities before your visit, especially if you plan to include a particular one in your day. This will help you consider which of the activities mentioned might suit your stay.
