Walking

Explore the stunning natural beauty around Lindersvold. The area is largely untouched, offering peaceful walks along the fjords up to the nearby beach that is only 3km away. Just remember to pack an umbrella if you’re visiting in the winter!

Cycling

The school provides a few bikes that are free to use. Discover the roads and trails, either solo or with fellow volunteers. It’s a fun way to stay fit while exploring the area.

Running

For those who love a challenge, pack up your running shoes because Denmark’s even terrain makes it ideal for training. You can follow the road to the beach, the circle trail around the school or run up to the closest town, depending on how skillful you are. If you’re running in winter, though, don’t forget your flashlight, the sun rises late and sets early!

Hiking

While Denmark’s highest point is only 173 meters, you can still enjoy some forest trails a few kilometers from the school. You may need to drive but these spots are perfect for a day of light hiking and reconnecting with nature.

Swimming

Bring your swimsuit! There’s a public pool nearby with affordable entry fees, and it even includes a sauna for those who want to relax.

Team Sports

The school has a sportshall equipped with everything you need for basketball, volleyball, badminton, indoor football, or even indoor hockey. Gather some friends, set up a match and have fun!

Individual Workouts

Do you prefer to work out solo? The sportshall has mats, dumbbells, resistance bands, and other equipment. While it’s not a full-equipped gym, it’s more than enough to stay fit. You can also try calisthenics for a more intense workout.

Yoga

You can practice yoga in the sportshall or in the privacy of your room. Yoga mats are provided to you.
