Esby on Helgenæs: Hiking, Gomde and Special Places

Esby on Helgenæs appeals to travelers who want to experience a coastal landscape in more ways than just from the beach. Around the village, possible highlights range from a longer hike and the route to Lushage to Gomde and sound-based experiences.

Gomde in Esby

Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Denmark is located at Smedehalden 3 in Esby. The address makes the temple easy to locate within the village. Gomde’s temple is open all day, every day, and visitors are invited to take part in the daily practice sessions. The daily opening hours and invitation to the sessions give a visit a different time frame than a single scheduled event. Individual retreats at Gomde include accommodation and organic plant-based meals. This means Gomde can be included in your travel plans either through a temple visit or through a stay with accommodation and meals.

Hiking on Helgenæs

The Helgenæs Trail is approximately 20 km long and allows visitors to see the restored Vænge Sø. Its length makes it one of the routes for which you can set aside a larger block of time without assuming an exact duration. The restored lake provides a specific natural landmark along the route. If you are planning an active day, you can treat the trail as a longer excursion and include Vænge Sø as its destination.

The Route to Lushage

A more accessible route to Lushage starts at the car park at the end of Klæbjergvej near Esby. At the same time, the terrain on the Lushage route from Esby is uneven and challenging. When planning this walk, both the starting point and the nature of the terrain therefore matter. You can take the drive to the car park and the demands of the route into account together when preparing an excursion to Lushage.

Sound-Based Experiences and Dragsmur Beach

Huset for Samklang offers meditative concerts, sound healing, Soundful Yoga and sound therapy in Esby on Helgenæs. The four offerings represent different formats, allowing you to tailor your visit to the type of sound-based experience you prefer. At Frejas Dal, you can buy a cup of organic coffee from ØNSK and a cup of organic tea. Dragsmur Beach is a beach in the area around Esby and adds another coastal point to the local setting.
