Korinth: Nature, Audio Stories and Local History

Korinth is ideal for a trip where experiencing nature goes hand in hand with an engaging local history. The Ringe–Korinth Nature Trail is 16 kilometres long and accessible from the station area in Korinth. The length of the route can be taken into account when planning your day as a framework for dividing the trail into sections and allocating time for the excursion. This allows your stay to be structured around the nature trail, audio stories and historic buildings.

Nature and Stories to Listen To

The entrance to the rhododendron park is via Spanget in Korinth. The rhododendron trees there are now more than 100 years old. Korinth's Stories is an audio experience with two trails: the Culture Trail and the Nature Trail. The Culture Trail features sixteen stories about monks, factories, the power of the counts and the lives of farmers; the Nature Trail offers four audio stories about the nature of Korinth. The two trails have different focuses, making it possible to explore the landscape and culture in your own order.

Industrial History in the Town

Korinth Sawmill was built in 1900 and rebuilt after a fire in 1916. It is a classic example of red-brick industrial architecture from around 1900 and continues to serve its original function. The date of construction and the rebuilding give the building a clearly defined history, while its architecture draws attention to Korinth's industrial side. For visitors interested in cultural history, this makes the site one of the specific subjects to explore in Korinth.

Church, Inn and Historic Buildings

Brahetrolleborg Church and Castle are considered one of the best-preserved Cistercian monastery complexes in the north. The church is open to visitors daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., unless church services or other religious ceremonies are taking place. Korinth Inn became a royally privileged inn in 1801. Korinth station building dates from 1882. The old granite bridge over the Silke Ã… has been uncovered and can be visited. Spanget is a historic district of Korinth; several buildings in Spanget near the bridge are listed for preservation.
