Winter hiking at The Woodland Lodge Gisselfeld
7. - February 8, 2026
Poetic paths and the quiet wonders of winter. When was the last time you enjoyed the winter forest? Or dressed warmly, and felt the great silence? This weekend we invite you out, where the pace slows down and you make peace be slow.
We wander in the old forests of Gisselfeld, at a social pace and good company. Morten - former hunter soldier is your guide.
Along the way there are sandwiches and hot spicy juices we are mostly quiet and return home to warm rooms and vegetarian dinner at long table.
Our base is The Woodland Lodge Gisselfeld. A peaceful forest hotel filled with the details of the past, history and personality.

We create unique frames about your important days.
We have a mission, and it's quite simple.
We want to create a unique setting about your important days.
We like to do that with nature as a partner. We know something about the forest and how it contributes to days in balance. We are happy to share our knowledge, so you always leave here with a little more good green sense in your bag. Whether you are on holiday, meeting or attending our events.
[Should you have a meeting] (https://thewoodlandlodge.dk/book-lokaler/), then we can also facilitate it. We work with experts in nature communication, development talks, meeting facilitation and organisational development. Curious? Please contact us at [hello@thewoodlandlodge.dk] (mailto: hello@thewoodlandlodge.dk).
We look forward to seeing you on the green carpets.
