Walking weekend in the spring forest - Poetic trails and the first miracles of spring.
2. - May 3, 2026
When was the last time you heard the forest wake up? The birds that plaster the voice, and the earth that smells of beginning? This weekend we invite you out, where the pace slows and winter's heavy coat can finally be hung on a branch.
We wander through Gisselfeld's ancient forests at a social pace and good company. Your guide is Morten — former hunter soldier, now expert in calm, direction and timely coffee.
Along the way, you get a sandwich and something good to drink -- and we talk less than we listen. As the day winds down, spacious rooms and vegetarian dinner await at long tables.
Our base is The Woodland Lodge Gisselfeld. A peaceful forest hotel where past and spring meet in the same breath.

Subject to change, nature takes its course.
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.
