Tørring on the Gudenå River – Canoe trips, moorland and local history

Tørring combines the Gudenå River with an unusual moorland landscape and various opportunities for active days as well as days focused on culture. The Gudenå River flows through Tørring and onwards into Uldum Kær. Immediately east of Tørring lies Uldum Kær, Denmark’s largest contiguous moorland area, covering 1,200 hectares. If you are looking for accommodation in Tørring, you can therefore decide whether canoe trips, paths through the wetland, sports or local history should be the focus of your stay. ## Canoe trips on the Gudenå River Tørring is a starting point for canoe trips on the Gudenå River. Tørring Kanoudlejning & Kanofart rents out canoes and kayaks for trips on the Gudenå River. The canoe and kayak rental service lets you choose between two types of boats for your trip on the river. The southernmost section of the Gudenå River from Tørring is particularly suitable for beginners on canoe trips. This gives the town a clear point of reference for anyone who wants to organise their stay around a tour on the river, without equating the waterway with a general range of leisure activities. ## Moorland and trails Tørring offers a variety of landscape experiences for walks and hikes. In Tørring, a new bridge over the Gudenå River and longer boardwalk sections have been built for the Gudenåstien. The trail therefore also crosses areas where the river and the wetland are closely connected. Hjertestien in Tørring is a signposted hiking trail of manageable length through the town and the surrounding wetland to Verdens Ende. Its manageable length makes it easy to plan the trail as an independent walk through the town and wetland; the bridge and boardwalk sections are part of the Gudenåstien. You can therefore choose between a trail with a bridge and boardwalk sections and a route that connects the town and the wetland. ## Church and local history Tørring Church comprises a chancel and a nave dating from around 1200, a porch from the beginning of the 16th century and a tower from the 17th century. The tower of Tørring Church has a rare octagonal domed roof. The Tørring-Hammer Local History Association offers another way to explore the area’s history. It operates the Tørring-Hammer Local Archive at Gudenåcentret, Kirkevej 10, 7160 Tørring. The archive is open on Monday mornings from 09:00 to 12:00 or by appointment. These fixed details help you incorporate a visit to the local collection into your day planning in a targeted way. ## Sports and town centre Tørring IF Padel offers three outdoor padel courts at Gudenåcenteret in Tørring. Pay-and-play is also available at Tørring IF Padel. The three courts and the sports hall at Gudenåcenteret are therefore available for different sports: outdoor padel complements the indoor facilities with another option for active days. The sports hall at Gudenåcenteret is equipped for handball, indoor football, gymnastics, basketball and badminton. In the town centre on the Gudenå River, you will also find Tørring Camping with a café and ice-cream parlour. If you would like to compare other destinations besides Tørring, you will also find Stenderup (Stenderup), Nebel (Nebel), Juelsminde (Juelsminde), Hornsyld (Hornsyld), Barrit (Barrit), Korning (Korning), Stouby (Stouby) and Flemming (Flemming).
