Timeline

  1. 11:00

    Krøgers Family Garden

    Start with a beer and a traditional lunch platter at Krøgers Family Garden. The garden is small but lively, perfect for settling in before the walk.

  2. 11:45

    Cisternerne

    Walk to Cisternerne. The museum is open from 11:00 on Saturdays, so you arrive just as it opens. Explore the catacomb-like water cisterns filled with stained glass art and sculptures.

  3. 13:00

    Landbohøjskolens Have

    Take a short walk north to Landbohøjskolens Have. This relatively small botanical garden offers a peaceful contrast to the underground museum, focusing on cultivated plants.
