Lintrup brings together distinctive cultural, historical, natural and outdoor themes: Lintrup Church is Romanesque and lies on a church walking trail, a natural area is located next to Pansergraven ved Lintrup, and Sporet ved Lintrup has four short routes. There is also a reconstruction from the Second World War and Glad Zoo near Lintrup. You can tailor your stay to a particular interest: church art, contemporary history, walking or animal experiences. The options vary depending on whether you want to focus on architectural history, route length or animals.
Church and church trails
Lintrup Church is a whitewashed Romanesque church built between 1150 and 1175. Inside the church, a chancel arch crucifix dating from around 1250 serves as altar decoration. The building and its furnishings represent different periods: the crucifix is dated several decades later than the church building. Those interested in historic churches can therefore explore both its Romanesque architectural history and a particular furnishing with its own date. Its whitewashed appearance, its classification as Romanesque and the crucifix are three distinct features that shape the impression of the church.
Lintrup Church lies on the Frøs Camino, a walking trail connecting churches in the former Frøs Herred. The Camino Frøs Herred includes a 5.8 km section from Lintrup Church to Kanonstilling ved Dover, south of Foldingbro. The church is therefore both a place of sacred architecture and a reference point for church walks. If you would rather plan a route than focus on a single cultural theme, the stated distance provides a concrete guide.
Contemporary history and nature
Pansergraven ved Lintrup is a reconstruction showing what the approximately 255 km-long Gudrun Line from the Second World War looked like. Its scale conveys just how extensive the historical line was; the reconstruction focuses on its appearance. A natural area with man-made lakes lies right next to it. Picnic shelters in this area are free to use. History and landscape sit side by side here, allowing different interests to be accommodated in one place: the reconstruction related to the history of the Gudrun Line, and the lakes and picnic shelters in the natural area.
Short routes and animal experiences
Sporet ved Lintrup consists of four short routes measuring 1.9 km, 2.2 km, 1.8 km and 2.5 km. All four are marked throughout, and there is a QR code at the starting point. The shortest route is 1.8 km and the longest is 2.5 km—a difference of 0.7 km. You can compare the routes by their specific lengths. Compared with the 5.8 km section of the Camino Frøs Herred, Sporet offers a shorter route; the distances can help you choose based on how long a walk you want.
Glad Zoo near Lintrup is home to more than 70 different animal species. The zoo also offers the chance to be an animal keeper for a day. This puts two different experiences in the spotlight: the variety of animal species and the special experience of being an animal keeper. If animals are your main interest, you can weigh these two aspects when planning your visit.
