Tranekær Castle Park
Do you like the combination of art and nature? Then Tranekær Slotspark is definitely for you. The artist group Tickon has exhibitions from a large number of international artists on the entire 2 km long trip around Borgsø in Tranekær Castle Park. All the works are so-called land art, which means that the works are built on site in beautiful union with nature, exclusively using materials such as earth, wood and stone. The works, which in the strangest way blend in with nature, are also engulfed by nature again - it is quite a few of the works that are maintained, the rest are allowed to follow nature's course.
The most visited work in the park is "Between blood beech and oak" by the artist Alfio Bonanno, who has Italian roots. The work depicts a sumptuous cornucopia of large stones, which leans over the landscape.
As you move through the park, it is also worth noting all the trees worth seeing. The park houses, among other things, one of Denmark's most beautiful wing walnut trees. You can visit the park and go the lovely 2 km long walk every day of the week from sunrise to sunset.
