Unique outdoor experiences
Ringsted Municipality is rich in beautiful nature of a very varied nature. Where a walk along the Ådalen offers rather wide gravel paths, you have to pass quite a few footpaths and stents if you choose a walk around Gyrstinge lake. The 460-year-old Allindelille Fredskov is a natural gem known for rare plants, including the fly orchid ophrys insectifera. The 450-year-old Experience Trail is a 25 km stretch that offers beautiful nature, a rich birdlife, a sea of activity opportunities and a lot of history.
